Description:
Sunlight yellow ES 89 turbo Shadow for sale. Just too many cars, just bought another, and not enough place to park them. Has around 84K miles. 2.5 turbo with 523 5 spd. (was originally auto). Very rare one year only color. Quite possibly the cleanest yellow P-body left. Factory sunroof car. PS/PB, A/C, power locks, power mirrors, cruise, light group, rear defrost, quartz interior. No winters that I am aware of. Sheltered in garage last 15 years or so. Car spent most of it's life in Louisville, KY. I am the third owner. Paint is good driver single stage paint. Was painted probably 15 years ago or more by 1st owner. Most importantly, no rust & runs great. Interior is nice.

Bone stock long block. Stock correct M/T SMEC, TII airbox, balance shafts, etc. Recent A/C & HVAC work done. New Kimberly-Clark all weather car cover, have original wheels, extra interior parts (inc. passenger seat), spare sunroof, grille, and misc. spare parts that will go with car.

Significant performance mods to vehicle include;
94) 523 with OBX LSD, Cummins intercooler, Turbonetics .63 S-60 turbo, +20 injectors, 3" exhaust, ported exhaust manifold, Clutchnet Ceramic 6 puck disk with RPS PP. New Italian Crono HT 16"x7" OZ wheels with 205/50/16 Continental Extreme Contact W/D tires.

Only time to dragstrip by me it ran 13.1 @ 104+ on modest 17 PSI. Very consistent ET, going 7 rounds in eliminations. Also 30 MPG on hwy. Up about 5-6 MPG from auto at 70 MPH.

PM or email me for phone if you have any questions or want more info. Lots more to list, just posting the highlights. Needs nothing but perhaps a new owner. Fly in, drive home. This car could be driven cross country in comfort. Looking for $5995. Not interested in trades, as I'm trying to thin the herd. Hardly desperate to sell, so low ballers beware (lol). Eager to answer any questions to people serious in purchasing.
Thanks for looking,
Todd

Nice car and great price. If it were only a red Omni it would be in my garage already. Jump on it now people before he changes his mind and decides to keep it. GLWS.

Not many Mike, but here is a couple during the changeover to 5 spd. Interior is nice. What wasn't up to snuff, was replaced. Comes with spare passenger seat which looks like it was hardly sat in.

Thanks for all the positive words guys! Kind of hate to sell it, but somethings gotta go. Wife thinks maybe I should go . Just kidding, she knew what is was getting into when she signed on the dotted line. Garage is bustin at the seams, and have more cars in storage.

Damn this is a good looking car, wish I had some storage space myself...Shadows of this caliber, not to mention it's rare 1 year only color, don't pop up often. Best of luck Todd!

[ScottD]

Awesome car. Love the yellow!

No kidding. Shadows are somewhat unique in that they produced a number of configurations that have very small production numbers, but dont have the obvious collectibility that has kept a higher proportion of CSXs out of the junkyard (if not actually in good shape...). So, to find a car like this which falls outside most people's 'radar' for preserving over the years, to still be in this condition, is definitely cool.

Awesome car Todd. If it was a 4-door, I'd be at your front door already! I was kinda wondering what you were going to do with it had you decided to keep it.

[wheming]

Wow that is nice.
Someone is going to end up with a very well kept and equipped/built shadow.

Jeremy,
I had a white 89 ES 4 dr. I too like the 4 drs. better than the 2drs. from a function standpoint. About 3 months after I bought this car, I found a 4 dr ES 5 spd yellow Shadow on Craigslist in Boise, ID. Tried many times to contact owner but he would not return any calls. It was rustfree but pretty dinged up and lots of miles. Bet they didn't make many of those.
Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Wayne, Yes It is a pretty nice car. My next door neighbor says she gets hungry for sherbet whenever she sees it (lol).

White is my favorite car color. But, I have a soft spot for yellow. I have a Dandelion yellow (Dupont color) CJ5. Yellow does catch the eye...
And come to think of it, I am hungry for sherbert!

Vehicle is out of storage and back home in garage.

I saw this car in person a couple weeks ago, and it looks great!! Bump for a damn nice car!! Todd's a good guy to deal with too!
