RE SD> Shelby Z, 1987 4-Sale
ron i feel your pain. this is why i am totally restoring a 1988 daytona shelby Z t top car and NOT trying to sell it. i am redoing the car because i owned one when they were new and had to sell it for financial reasons back in 1992. i found a well worn example of an 88 model and started my restoration. i dont care if these cars wont ever be worth anything this car brings me back to when i was 18 years old. god willing i want to be 65 years old and still driving this shelby i am currently rebuilding. i let one slip thru my fingers i wont let another one go. hell you dont get rich doing car rebuilds / restorations for profit. unless you restore brass era motorcars, or duesenbergs or something. build up and enjoy the car for what it is. the grandaddy of sport compacts. chrysler was way ahead of their time back then in the 1980s. it will take some time before these cars will be worth something. i could remember when i was 16 years old back in the mid 1980s i bought a 1968 dodge charger with a 383 inch V8 in running condition for $400. you cant do this today. just empty 68/69 charger body shells with titles are hitting $3,000 on ebay. then you gotta dump a wad of cash just to make it drivable. i think turbo mopars will end up this way. forgotten then found again. only time will tell, but for now i am hoarding cars and parts while they are still cheap and plentiful for when that day arrives. mat 1988 daytona shelby Z turbo ll T top 1987 daytona pacifica T top 5 speed 1987 lebaron turbo coupe soon to be T ll and 5 speed (new arrival) 1987 lebaron turbo coupe parts car ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD> Shelby Z, 1987 4-Sale
Ron, Once again, I apologize for coming across in a bad way, and yes, after I reread it, I can see why you would think that I would. But my question to you is this: Why would you pour that much money into an almost 20 year old car and then sell it? It seems that a lot of people sink a ton of money in these cars and then sell them not too much later. If they are "wonderful", why sell it and work on a Ford product? Maybe I am sounding negative again, but I have my 85 SC that I bought when I was in high school 13 years ago, and I have no intentions of selling it. Granted I have not poured thousands of dollars into this car, but I see no point in selling a car that has brought me tons of joy and has cost me very little to maintain. Plus, I doubt that I would get more than half of what I have in it if I did sell it. Once again, I am sorry for sounding negative, but someone please let me know if this is out of line at all. Thanks. Mike Ron ZImmer wrote: Mike, Your response is exactly why I no longer want to keep this car. I have dumped thousands of dollars into a Dodge that will beat the crap out of rice boxes in all types of racing and even the loyal SDML list members will talk trash about these wonderful turbo cars. When supposed turbo Dodge enthusiasts talk negative about our rides it is time to move on!! So I will. Since this car is worth vary little, maybe some energenic SDML soul will buy it to part it out or maybe I should! It is a red 87 Daytona shelby Z with grey valour interior. Has undercarriage rust but overall body and paint look good(doesn't have the typical paint peeling problem of Chrysler cars). Has the infinity stereo/cassett player with great sounding speakers and has the crab wheel with good rubber.

Re: SD> Shelby Z, 1987 4-Sale
Here's my answer Mike's question: Why would you pour that much money into an almost 20 year old car and then sell it? I have poured a lot of money into an old car then sold it. I have done this several times... Why? Usually due to burn out. It seems I'm always sinking money into a car, the problem is/was that the car wasn't exactly what I wanted. I sold my 87 Shelby Z T-Top, T-II (very nice but not a perfect car) a couple years ago. I loved the car but I sold it(it was my last TD for quite some time). The last time I did this was because: 1. It was an 87, 87s are nice, but I really want an 89-up Daytona Shelby, or IROC R/T 2. I didn't have a driveway, much less a garage at the time. 3. I had sunk a bunch of money in it and was "fed up" at the time. 4. I needed a truck and bought one, I didn't have anywhere to keep the Daytona and was afraid of keeping in the yard or on the street. 5. I had lost my good job and was making a small portion of my former employment, hard to keep multiple cars. 6. I used to drive them hard on occasion, not good for the car's longevity. I tried making it both a race car and daily driver... not a great combination. 7. The 87 was a T-Top car and I really wanted a factory sunroof car so I would have to worry about finding the weatherstrip and other unique components of a T-Top car. Now at this time, I bought a house with a large garage, I'm in a much better job and my financial situation is starting to improve.. (I was also in turbocar withdrawal) Now I have a 91 Spirit RT Project, an 89 Spirit ES for parts for the R/T. I have an 89 GTC Convertible (always wanted one, found a great deal on a solid car) And I have my 89 Lebaron Coupe that I drive to work every day. Even though its a stock 2.5 T-I AT it's still a LOT of fun to drive! I'm getting close to double the fuel mileage I get in my truck. Still looking for a Daytona Shelby or Iroc RT, has to be a 5 speed, factory sunroof, great shape, great price. So far no luck. But I am confident I'll find one someday ;o) LOL Chad = Thanks, Chad Lyons, Hartford City, IN **PARTING OR SELL COMPLETE 89 Spirit ES T-I AT needs engine ** 89 Lebaron 2.5 T-I,AT My Daily Driver 89 Lebaron GTC Vert, 2.5 T-I, AT hibernating (come on spring!) 91 Spirit R/T 2.2 DOHC,A-568 5spd.Red, long term Restification 93 Ram 150 5.2 MAGNUM Ext cab Long bed "Moby" 232k and still going strong 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee AWD Magnum V8 Seeing lots of use in the snow http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/indyshelbydodgeclub/ __ Do you Yahoo!?

SD> Great Support from TurbosUnleashed.com - Fixed my lean WOT problem
I wanted to let everyone know about my discovery this evening...all to the great support of Paul at Turbosunleashed.com. I've been chasing a lean WOT condition on my TII conversion. In addition, I've had a very shaky boost guage. At wide open throttle, the boost needle would bounce around +/- 3 psi, my A/F gauge would read lean, and my EGT would climb to 1600F as I would get off the throttle. The problem was with my vacuum routing. I had used basically one vacuum source for the fuel pressure regulator, map sensor solenoid, and wastegate solenoid. Herein lies the problem, the wastegate solenoid opening and closing created a vacuum leak, making the FPR see lower manifold pressure and thus supplying less fuel pressure. The map sensor must have been going crazy based upon what my boost gauge was showing. Anyways, I rerouted the vacuum lines. The FPR, manifold solenoid, and boost gauge all share one source. The wastegate solenoid now sees WOT manifold reference pressure at the throttle body small nipple. The boost gauge is now steady as it climbs to 14 psi. The A/F gauge reads a beautiful shade of blue (.9 volts) and EGT maxed at 1550F on a sustained 4 gear pull at max boost. Please support our vendors, especially Paul and Chris at TurbosUnleashed.com. They work tremendously hard and provide us with invaluable information. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions? Visit http://www.sdml.org/ To be removed, visit http://www.sdml.org/pages/leave.html
