If I had the additional scratch it would make a good donor for my Rampage turbo swap. Tax man beat me up too much

Seems that a lot of people in the day ran shelby chargers. I just looked at the 85 event and saw 3 alone.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
there was a guy that came into my shop 1 day, saw my charger parked on the side (blown tranny), asked a little about it. he told me that he was the creator of a synthetic oil line called hps, you can see it on the fender (or door) of the daytona, letter spacing like

he had an old panflit he gave me with that charger sliding into a turn at pikes peak, throwing up some dust, he said that "his" oil is what made the difference between the cars not loosing power 5 minutes into the race because it didnt break down like the other competitors oil. some how he lost funding or contracts and couldnt produce his oil past 88 or something, but it was cool to talk to him and getting a panflit :-)
Wow, which car was in the pamflit, mine or yours????????
If you post something up on special stage those guys should know the history of the car. The sensor on the rear wheel is for a rally odometer. It is used for precise navigation.
it would really be a shame if this was parted, probably alot of history behind it
Not my car :-( but on further inspection of the pamflit, it looks like the charger in it has the number 6 on it not 10, but it looks like a silver with blue car, and yours looks like silver with blue but a blue with silver door ans nose, so they may have been combined at some point?
Il take pics of the pamflit and send it to someone if they want to post it...
send it to me, milkcarton7@gmail.com
If you email it to me I'll post it up if you want. This is an exciting mystery.
someone buy this thing, 600 without gages and steering wheel or 700 complete
why don't you put it in the "For Sale" section, more people with $$ looking to buy will see it there, I have seen this thread but never clicked on it (until now) because it wasn't in the for sale section. It couldn't hurt to try at least.
It would be cool to see someone use it and have some fun with that !
+1 to that, same thing with me... Fortunately for the wife, we don't live on a 1/2 acre and closer to you CO, or I'd be owning that thing! Heck, paint aside, it's in better shape than my GLHS!

Bill Lambros just called me and he thinks the driver owner? was John Crawford and Shepard. He said the 4 digit were prototypes and Direct Connection sponsored the cars. Bill still has his car from way back when.
