Hello everyone!
I've been seeing so many threads about projects as a lurker that I decided to share my little Shelby!
How I got a hold of this rare beast? I was riding my Ruckus past the lemon lot on base and it just caught my eye. The rear spoiler and ground effects had me. I had to get closer, I turned around and checked it out. Only 96k on the clock and the owner had a bunch of stuff to go with it! I immediately snapped this pic and told my wife "I gotta have it!".
Well I set up a test drive and turns out I knew the current owner and the owner before him too! It was basically a three owner car. A man bought it in 1990, then gave it to his son in early 2000's, then he sold it to the man that sold it to me. I got a bunch of stuff with the car. The front bumper, service manuals, the original Fiberides, magazines from 1989, extra window trim, full decal set, extra boost gauge, a stock controller, extra driver side fender in red, driver side ground effect, and a couple other things I can't remember right now. Needless to say my truck bed was full of stuff when I bought the car!
As far as mods, it has a 15 psi tune from FWD Performance and a smaller underdrive pulley.
Goals for the car are just to make it run real good, it already does mechanically. It can obviously use some cosmetic issues addressed (some have been done already ). It just needs some good TLC to put on parts that I already have. It is my daily driver right now, and that's the whole intent. Have a fun but reliable daily driver!
Here she is in all her glory when I first layed eyes on her! This was back in October.
I've done a couple things to it already and looks a hundred times better but I
ll slowly update this thread to not overload it!
