    Spirit R/T registry from the mid 90's

    Anybody on here have info on a Spirit R/T registry that was around in the mid 90's? I had one back then and registered it but since then the car and info on the car is gone. Trying to figure out if it's still around. Also wondering if there is a registry for the 1990 factory built VNT cars? I also had a VNT Shadow I wonder about its fate.

    Welcome to the site. I'm unaware of the fact that these even existed. That was all before my time, but I can say not a lot of VNT cars are around anymore. I'm waiting to find a silver 90 Shadow again. It needs to be a turbo and 5 speed. I've only seen a few of them in that color, so I'm not holding out much hope.

    The R/T registry was managed by Cliff Ramsdell. I have a few newsletters from back in the day.

    There were only 30 of the 1990 Dodge Shadows with the Competition Package. These were the VNT cars.

    Here is a spreadsheet of me finding 25 of them:

    Hopefully the pics work.

    ETA: They didn't... They're not working for me either right now. This is beyond frustrating.

    OK, it seemed to work, but I had to drop the file size below 2mb. That's a sad state of affairs in this modern world.

    It looks like you really took care of it well. I would love another 90 P body, but it must be 5 speed, and most likely I'll only pull the trigger on a silver one like I had. There was a comp package car around a couple of years ago, but it was apparently too rotted out to save. Perhaps another one of the ~30 comp package cars was silver and still exists? I can dream.

    Understood. I've been fortunate enough to drive almost all of my cars until they've rusted to nothing. I really wish I had a redo on my 90 Shadow. If I would have known how rare it was when I owned it, I would have kept it forever. Of course, there is a paradox of would I have loved it as much as I do without putting a few hundred thousand miles worth of adventures on it? We'll hopefully find out one day.

    That cylinder head you got from me when you bought the 89 came from Cliff.
