1990 Dodge Daytona Shelby VNT
$5,000
2.5 Mopar short block, ported 782 head with ~ 1 mm + valves, Super 60 turbo, 3" swingvalve, downpipe & catalytic converter, 2.5" exhaust cat back, stock VNT intercooler, Mopar Performance 2.5TI High-Torque SBEC, and manual boost controller (car has never seen >14 psi of boost, and is currently running ~11 psi), Audi BOV, stock 1990 roller cam, full instrumentation.
Owned since 2000. 3rd owner. Purchased from friend, who purchased from original owner ~1998.
The shortblock and turbo were installed in 2000, and prior to going into a 6-year indoor storage in 2005, all of the bushings in the front end were replaced, as was the power steering rack, and the 568 replaced with a refurbished unit.
Starting in 2011, and at ~146,720 miles (TMU, the cluster was replaced but it’s close), the car was gradually refurbished, with most the work/improvements below completed by 2015, except where noted. There are ~ 35k miles on the bottom end & turbo. Current mileage is 148,010, so there are less than 1,300 miles on the below components. The 568 was installed right before it went into storage, so it has less than 5k miles on it.

The driver side fender was replaced ~2005, The drivers floor pan was patched around ~2003. The interior is mostly complete, but being a 30-year-old car not everything works and the replacement headliner is starting to sag. Radio is a take-off cassette unit out of a 1999 Dakota.
I have records, receipts and pictures of work completed.
