1987 shelby Z

[turbocars]

By any chance does anybody know how many 1987 shelby Z stick cars made.
With intercooled motor. Thanks in advance.

I have total 87 Shelby-Z production as 7,152 cars.

I don't have a breakdown by engine or transmission.

The intercooled TII and 555 5speed was standard, but the Shelby-Z could be equipped with an automatic. The Automatic trans cars were give the non-intercooled 2.2 Turbo engine which in 87 was the log intake suck-through version.

Thanks guys was hoping to get total for intercooled cars.

BZZZT! As turbo dave noted the 87 could be had with an Auto which meant you got the 2.2 T1 suckthrough motor.

Thanks guys was hoping to get total for intercooled cars.

I'll start the count. I have 1 of each, a stick car and an Auto. They're both stick cars and intercooled now though

The intercooled TII and 555 5speed was standard, but the Shelby-Z could be equipped with an automatic if you were a gazer of men.

Fixed.....

What does the Z stand for in the Shelby Z? Mines not a Z

[BadAssPerformance]

It was Carroll's middle name... Carroll Z. Shelby The Z is an abbreviation cuz his middle name didnt fit on the stickers

Actually... the Shelby Z was after the Turbo Z of the 1G Daytona's... the Z? good question... last letter of the alphabet is the coolest? IROC-Z did the same thing...

I thought the IROC-Z stuff was to tie into the previous top o the line Cam-arrow, the Z-28. Like "We used to sell the Z-28, now that it's used for the IROC races we have the IROC-Z!".
Z is a cool letter. Z rated tires. 280Z, Z06, ZL1.
Never heard the official TurboZ explanation. ...so if you got a TBI car would it just be a "Z" or a "TBIZ"?

Yeah, Z must just be a cool letter... I remember telling Karl Morgan about my Shelby Z and the Turbo Z (when he was a Camaro guy before I converted him to the dark side) and he showed me a magazine with a 1979 Camaro Yenko Turbo Z .. a '79 Z28 ran 17's in the 1/4 but the Yenko Turbo Z (turboed carbed small block) ran 14's! LOL! ... So Dodge kinda stole it from that car maybe?

[GLHNSLHT2]

TBI is just a daytona or Gaytona. The Turbo Z had all the ground f/x. They kept the Z in 87 but dropped the turbo and tipped their hat to Shelby with the ShelbyZ, in 89 they dropped the Z and it just became the Shelby.

[turbocars]

One more question did all the shelby z with the intercooled motor come with the two piece
intake.

Yes, but only in 1987. The '88 & '89 Intercooled cars came with a 1-pc

[turbocars]

Thanks for the reply.

I just found an 87 Shelby Turbo Z with an automatic trans. So from what I have seen in here is that I got the crap end of the engines.
