Description:
I am selling my 1991 Dodge Shadow “Shelby CSX” convertible to make room for another recent purchase. I am moving this car due to space limitations, there is no problem with the car.
For the record, the last production vehicles produced by Shelby for Dodge were the 1989 Shelby CSX and Dakota. Dodge Shadow convertibles were made from 1991-1993. So this is obviously not a real Shelby, and I am not presenting it as such.
This is really a tribute car, or a concept of what a CSX convertible might have looked like if the relationship had continued into 1991.
This car was made from a 1991 Shadow that had over 100,000 miles. It was stripped to the shell, and rebuilt using NOS, or like-new components. The mileage (16,7xx) shown is the true mileage from the conversion. That is the true mileage for the drivetrain, suspension, etc.
The car is well maintained, clean, and drives like new. The major flaw is the headliner (the 6” strip) needs to be replaced. The glue dried, and the fabric was removed when it started sagging.
The highlights of the car include:
- 2.5 L inline four, turbo and intercooled
- Rear disc brake conversion
- Koni adjustable shocks with performance springs at all four corners
- Cross drilled rotors with powerdoated calipers, and SS brake lines.
- Turbos unleashed Garrett turbo
- A555 close ratio 5 speed transmission
- 1989 Sheby CSX fabric on doors, seats
- Recaro front buckets
- Custom Shelby dash plaque
- Carroll Shelby autographed tachometer
- Shelby Turbo boost gauge
- 1989 Shelby CSX ground effects, including front air dam, rear fascia, side skirts with door panels, and grill
- Fiberride Shelby wheels from an ’89 CSX (Fiberglass composite)
- Powdercoated gas tank
There is more that I probably cannot think of. The pictures will tell more than I can say about the condition of the car. It is garage kept, babied, and wins or places in every car show I have taken it to. Most recently was awarded a Gold award at the 2014 Florida Mopar Nationals (March), and placed 3rd in the front drive class at the 2013 Don Garlits Mopar Show (Oct ’13). This is a very fun car to drive, show, and just look at. Looking for a good home for it!
