Description:
I am selling my 1985 Dodge Shelby Charger Project. Here is a copy of my Craigslist Ad:

This is a non-rebadged 85 Shelby Charger Turbo 2.2L 5 Spd. Black with Silver Stripe. Needs overall work put into it and I do not have the tools or patience to lift the motor to deal with the current transmission problem.

Backstory:
I Bought the Shelby and a parts car a year ago, the Shelby had a snapped rod and the parts car had been smashed up. The Parts car had about 70,000 miles on it. I lifted the Engine and Computer from the Parts car, had the flywheel resurfaced, and Dropped the motor in the Shelby. I replaced the Fuel Lines with rubber ones, and replaced the spark plugs. I put about 10 miles on it, and the clutch started to smoke a little. Then I noticed it was leaking a lot of trans fluid from the bell housing. I believe the transaxle main seal is broken. The clutch came from a crate engine and has about 14,000 miles on it, as did the pressure plate. The trans still goes into all gears and the clutch should be OK. The Water Pump is new and the PS and Alt seem to work OK. The A/C is off this car, but I have the A/C parts from the other car. It needs a tuneup and some TLC. I am selling it because I do not have the means to repair it efficiently at home. I would be willing to negotiate on price/trade.
