What's up everybody. I've always kind of been a lurker on here, but I finally have a car myself to talk about. I sold my 4 daytona's when I moved to Georgia about 2 years ago. Ever since I moved I've been keeping my eye out for a new turbo dodge. Today was my lucky day. My wife and I left to go shopping this morning. We went down the road about 2 miles and I noticed a wrecker in somebody's driveway loading up some junk cars. The car the guy was hooking to the back looked like alot like an old charger so I quickly told my wife to turn the car around and go back. She thought I was joking at first but soon enough we were heading back lol. We pulled in the driveway and I got out. Sure enough, the wrecker guy was loading up a Black/Silver 1986 Shelby Charger. He said he was taking it to the junkyard because the guy that owned it had got some complaints from the county about too much junk sitting in his yard. I asked if he would sell it to me and he said $350 and it's mine. I had a quick conversation with the wife and we agreed it would be my early birthday present. I went back and asked the guy if he would take $300. He said he needed $350, so I said tow it to my house and I'll give you $350. 20 minutes later the car was in my garage. The wrecker guy was really cool and happy to see me buy it. He thought the car was in way too good of shape to be scrapped, he was right too. Not a spec of rust anywhere. Floorboards are perfect. Interior is in almost mint condition. No rips in the seats, everything there. No dents, ground effects not cracked, engine and transmission there, rear louvers, sunroof with original leather sunroof bag in the hatch. All 4 aluminum rims with center caps. This car is in really really good shape, just needs to be cleaned up. Downsides: no key, but my neighbor is a locksmith so it shouldn't be an issue. No title, but I have a bill of sale which according to the wrecker driver is all I need in Georgia because the car is so old. According to the wrecker guy the owner bought it ten years ago and "the headgasket started going bad so he just parked it and was gonna fix it up." Sorry for the long post but I'm really stoked about this.
