shelby z drag project! Need setup advice :)

[tommyturbo]

Also this car looks pretty well optioned, all power, trunk upgrade package, enthusiast seats, ultimate sound stereo with eq. It's not a low line Z.

Shelby Z's were never 'low line' by design

mine still has power windows

[tommyturbo]

The Z was Chryslers "performance flagship" which yes is not a low line car, however you could get a stripped Z with no power accs, and very basic cloth seats, no air. I have seen one or two like this. Yes most got power windows/locks etc, but they were not standard equipment.

So in terms of how the car is optioned, it is not a stripper low line Shelby Z, it was optioned out fairly well.

I will be the first to say that Shelby Z's dont make the best drag cars tho.. tooo heavy nt tho

There are some options for a dedicated drag car to reduce weight. http://www.hairyglass.com/daytona.html

If anyone is interested in this car, i might be interested in trading for a shelby charger or omni GLH.. I might also sell it outright as I wont have as much time for this car as I thought i would... Would also trade for performance parts

PM me with trade/cash offers!

Thanks

I say restore it, and make it nice again, what do you need to prove by turning it into a drag car? the car is 22 years old, very few are still around, and I don't see many color. Make it nice.
Yes I know I am the only one on this site about restoing these cars, but heck so many guys just go blow em up, part em out, and there just are so few left.

I agree about restoring these cars tt.

I had rather get out and cruise than beat the crap out of it.

I think they are great drivers after all of the mechanicals
are up to par.

Going to cruise my Red '88 Z out to Fountain Hills, Arizona
in Oct.



In closing I agree with tommyturbo........restore it.

Just my .02

Nice. Save the car. I have a rust free 87 hardtop z that I saved.
I just wish the car would cooperate =(
