    End of the year price drop, $2800. In the garage all warm. New battery, new alternator, new lift supports for the rear hatch. I drove it maybe twice this year around town and up on I-5.

    dwh4784, noted. I added new red trim inlay tape from positive impressions to the front and rear bumper guards in middle of this year as well, originals were old, peeling, and cracking away. Bringing this ES back to looking stock as the way it did when it left the factory was always my main focus. I do have confirmed travel plans for the holidays, but not too far away, so PM me if you have any questions.

    I can't believe this vehicle never sold. A lot of car for the money! Probably only a handful of yellow ones left and how many are for sale and in this good of condition?
    Good car, great owner, maintained well, a no brainer... Someone needs to buy this.
    GLWS,

    Re: 1989 Sunlight Yellow Shadow ES Auto

    Yup,
    I just don't understand this either. When I owned mine and when it was at shows, it always drew one of two responses, either people thought it was the ultimate P-body color, or they thought it was the worst color EVER! I was talking to a guy at huge Mopar only show that LOVED the color. He was a Chrysler TC owner. Couldn't stop talking about it. While talking to this guy, another guy staring at vehicle was quite vocal about it being a really hideous color... I thought the two guys were gone start throwing punches at each other (lol).
    I'd be willing to bet if this was a 5 spd. car it would have been gone 2 years ago. I'm half tempted to buy it and flip a 523 into it. When I changed my yellow ES to 5 spd, it was like a completely different vehicle. Power was up, mileage was like 5-6 MPG improved on freeway, and it was a heck of a lot more fun to drive. EZ to swap too. Did you ever install the CSX springs Bill? On second thought, maybe that wouldn't work so well with the GR2 front springs? When I owned my 89 ES Shadow and my 88 CSX-T, I always loved the firmer more supportive seats from the 89 ES car, but I preferred the firmer suspension (springs and struts) of the 88 CSX-T
    Bump for a steal of a deal! Good luck Bill, It certainly is priced right, and you've done a excellent job maintaining/preserving it.

    Re: 1989 Sunlight Yellow Shadow ES Auto

    Todd, thank you for your short Sunlight Yellow story of the color being LOVED or hideous. Trust me, when I drive around I see drivers and passengers staring at the car. If I could listen in to the conversation in their car, I bet they are saying, "Wow that is a nice car" or"Wow, haven't seen a Shadow in years." Last week, a teenage girl and her girl friends passed by me as I walked from my Shadow to go in to a store and she said, "OMG, I had that Shadow as my first car!" I said to myself,"Cool, Dad knew what to buy." I had an 87 Shadow T1 and a 93 3.0L of which were both 5 spds. Blast to drive! Of course the V6 had a bit more power than the 87 2.2 T1. The 93 ES was Black with a champagne interior. Loved that car. I am sure if the Sunlight was a 5 spd, it would have been sold a while back. True to an easy AT to manual swap. Not many Shadows left on the road now days.
    Todd, I did not install the CSX springs yet, they are still sitting here in the garage. I replaced the PCV 3-way rubber connector on the valve cover last week with a new OE. They get hot, dry out, crack, leak, and become hard plastic. I will continue to maintain the car as I have always done. Summer is almost done even though we will have a nice 7 day or longer hot spell starting this week here in the PNW, so the Sunroof glass will come off.
