Whats the first numbered car you ever saw?!

[vntned]

I was 16, just had gotten drivers license and was out cruising in my '90 Daytona and I spot a bright red '87 Shelby Lancer with super dark tint sitting in front of some kinda construction shop. I turn around on the first available road and get back to the parking lot with the Lancer. I of course get out to inspect. It looked to be all stock other than a fairly low stance and the super dark tint. It also had a large exhaust based on the size of the turndown out the back. I didnt realize then that the fact that it was a leather 5 speed car made it quite rare.

I only saw it once more a few months later driving down the road. I didnt see another numbered car for probally 2 years until I spotted an all white CSXT(which inspired me to paint my current CSX-T all white) for sale locally.


When did you see your first numbered car?

I saw my first #'d car in '02 I think. Ended up buying it a year later It was my '87 GLHS, #392.

My friend Ralph's 87 GLHS # 726... he bought it new

1987 Shelby Lancer, owner had 2. This was in 1994 or so. One of them is still under the same carport on Moorehead Street just down the road from Charlotte motor speedway.

'89 CSX-VNT at Carlisle in 1999. I just walked into the fairgrounds for the first time and seen it coming in through the gate. I pointed and told my dad I wanted one someday. Now I have one haha.

87 GLHS #0041 when my mom bought it new in July 87, I was 9. Instantly fell in love.

Todd Nelson's GLHS at Mopars in the Park years ago . . . 2004 maybe? He had a polished valve cover and a wire tuck done. Sweeeeeeeet car!

Wow...same, except mine was 319, Bill Bigness.

[GLHS592]

It was a Shelby Lancer back in the late 80's in Franklin, TN. The first one I ever drove was a 1987 GLHS I found in the "Wheels and Deals". I still can't believe the guy let me drive it.

A de-SHELBY 86 GLHS, in a junkyard.

Wow...same, except mine was 319, Bill Bigness.

yeah i might be wrong, but i think 317 and 318 were owned by brothers, and bill came across 319... OR 318 and 319 were owned by brothers. and i am wrong about 317.
either way the one I saw was FS for like 3500 back in 1997/1998? maybe its the one bill bought? a few other ones too i cant recall, but i do remember seeing a 89 csx there once too... for a while syracuse was number car heaven to me.

[Orangetona]

Haha, yeah I know theres a story behind it but I dont know it. lol.

Me and bill went to a car show and his buddy (Mike I think) was there with a real clean 87 GLHS Low milage idk the number on that, but possibly one of them. Never saw the CSX.

[ShelbyTC16v]

The first numbered Shelby I saw was 87 GLHS #0002.

[MILKCARTON]

Mine was #210 1987 sl that I bought in 1992 for 1,250 bucks!!!! My family enjoyed that car until two years ago :-(

The first one i ever saw in person was an 89 CSX-VNT. I worked a parts store where A kid my age came in buying parts for various turbo mopars and one day he came in and said "you have to see this" and in the lot was his just purchased CSX. I knew what it was but i didn't know what it REALLY was, and i'm not sure he did either. We both commented that the valve cover had "shelby'' on it and not the regular ''chrysler turbo''. We were so dumb.........

Todd Nelson restored #276 in Brian Quackenbush's Dad's garage back in 2005. It was just taken out of it's "storage bubble" so I could go over it. Absolutely flawless. Kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on it. He said it would take about 30k to duplicate and I think that may be low estimate. The second one I've ever seen was the one I brought home from Ohio, car #168.

Hmmm... the first numbered car I ever saw would have to be this one....



or maybe this one...
