Shadow Convertible pics

[blk86trbo]

Today I did some work on the Shadow, in preparation of the upcoming winter weather. Replaced a bad ignition switch and swapped on a set of wheels with some not so decent tires. The original pumpers had a great set of Goodyears that I plan on using for another project.

I'm the second owner, the original owner was an older lady. No doubt the car needs a new top, and it has it's fair share of has rust...floors, wheelwells, doors...but man does this thing go down the road smooth and tight! Engine and auto tranny with the L/U torque converter work perfectly. It's one of those cars that's just a blast to drive, even though it isn't worth much or look very good.

Just figured I'd share pics because I really enjoy it when you all do
Please feel free to post your own Shadow convertible pics!!!

Holly hell does that car need a top bad.
But not bad. If its a solid driver thats awesome.
2nd owner car is also nice.
Rust sux but alas I am sure you will take care of it

It's crazy how well this thing runs, and the suspension is incredibly tight going over tracks and everything...damn I hate putting stuff away for the winter months. If you're ever up this way, you can take it out and tear around in it

Ha ha yeah, no kidding Alan, I couldn't pass it up...even though I'd rather have a 5 speed like the one you posted a few weeks ago (what ever happened to that). This whole household has a thing for blue cars, it's not just me LOL

Heck yeah it runs great...put 45 miles on it today

So when do you want to tackle putting a new top on it?

[Captain Chaos]

Yeah, it doesn't look too bad, just too many projects and not enough time. I hate to do it but nobody seems overly interested. Come get it, I'll sell it to you for cheap.

I'm not sure...after watching you wrench, I can just imagine the convertible top getting a boot kicked through it and slashed the hell up before finishing

Road trip!!!!!!! Let's go get it Paul.

Hey, I did some work on my Outback recently without even swearing at all... and also did some crap to my Voyager without injury or anger... I think it's just those damn Neons and Grand Caraturds that get me angry and injured.

Edit in: Boots? What are those?

It's those things you should wear to cover up your hairy feet, you freaking Sasquatch

[Dodge Aries K]

Does not have hair on his feet... wtf dawg?

With a hole like that, I bet its tough to tell if the top is up or down.

Nice color combo though. Shadow verts rule!

[WickedShelby88]

Still looks good Paul. Its gotta be in better shape than my mom's shadow. That poor thing will be a flintstone mobile if it doesn't get some attention fast. Pretty soon these cars will be rare like the Cuda' verts if they keep ending up in yards.

[turbokid]

Well Paul,
You have all year. Get the car all nice and show worthy then bring it to Monster Mopar in September. I am there every year with a topless something lmao.
3 years ago it was a lebaron, and the past 2 years its been a topless superbird

The blue Shadow ES turbo convertibles are one of my favorites. Paul I think you had that car at an SDAC didn't you?

Maybe at some point I'll get one of these.

All I can say is, you lucky sonofagun!

That's right Scott, it was at SDAC 15 in Cincinnati...I don't think the top was up all weekend LOL!
