I have a knack for picking vehicles that people would rather part out
than keep whole (Shelby Dodge cars and Buell motorcycles). I hate seeing
them get parted - they're great cars (and bikes) and have incredible
performance capabilities. The flip side of the coin is...I have a good
stash and
I would hate to be the one selling a Shelby Dodge right now but getting this
much bang
for the buck gives a lot of us (like me) the chance to build a good
performance car for not
a whole lot of money. When Mr. Shelby built these cars they were the first
genuine tuner
cars and every time a V8
Rob,
I can understand your position. I have owned at least one of every vehicle
offered by Shelby from both his facility in Whittier, CA. along with ones
bearing his name built by Chrysler corp.
I have found when trying to sell these car that the only ones with any real
resale value to
Seen the gas prices? I don't get it, my Shelby dak with a new muffler got 25
MPG average. Sometimes I got over that on the highway. Thats doing REALLY
well for a truck with a V8.
As for the rest of the BS. The Little Red Express is a total POS and real

The biggest problem with Dodge Shelby vehicles is they used the Shelby name
as a test bed, then improved on performance. Who wouldn't rather have a
89-90 TII instead of a 86-87 Shelby motor. As for the Dakotas, it was the
first non full size truck with a V8, but only 175hp, next thing you
Well said,
I'm just thankful the prices are low. I love the cars and more than likely
will NEVER be able to buy another Challenger R/T. It was easy when I graduated
in 1974.
I got my 87 GLHS for $1,500 a year ago. This was after a guy I know bought it
off ebay and made at least $400
