OK before the stones start to fly yes I'm seriously trying to get away from the project side of the hobby before my back surgery gets here. But.....
I couldn't pass this deal up ,I've wanted one of these since I was a kid I still remember the day when a blue Shelby charger blew my dads doors off I was amazed I asked what it was and he said I think it's a mustang well being young very young I didn't know any better so I wanted a mustang. One day my dad brought me to a car show and there my "mustang" was I went and insulted him right away telling him how cool his mustang was . He corrected me and explained that mopars are the gods of the car world and I should never waist my time with anything else other then a mopar . He then proceeded to talk my father in to going for a ride in the Shelby he wanted it to stick in my head and boy did it ever I remember the thing was like a rocket ship (yes I know it's slow as can be) but back then we rolled in a Mazda 323 so yeah rocket ship. I still remember that car and the old man to this day we actually still talk (his Shelby is long gone now )
But I came across my very own and the price was right (extremely right) (yes I actually payed real money for it ) (yes I might be insane) but I don't care I've always wanted a Shelby charger since that ride and now I have one . So what to do with it??hmmmm?
I got nothing! What do you guys think?
Here's a few things bouncing in my insane head .
1:Stock build just get it running use it to practice my painting skills (non as of now) and just drive the hell out of it .
2: build a bad as motor bigger turbo and leave it as it sits 100% ugly and then proceed to scare woman and children
3:Find and buy a 91 Mitsubishi gaunt vr4 there awd 4cly turbo 5 speed. The wheel base is very very close to the Shelby ,so I was thinking of grafting the awd system under the Shelby and using the better motor and trans setup and make a track car for the scca or just a sweet driver.
But nothing is going to happen till I get fixed it will sit in my storage lot covered as not to get worse . I really don't know what to do I had 2 offers on it today a few guys wanted it . I told them no not yet maybe in a month who knows with me .
So what do you guys think I know it looks rough but it's actually very solid only rust is the deck lid and a bubble on the driver 1/4 that's it. The motor turns free gas smells like varnish .I don't know I drove 3 hours each way to get this dirty girl I would love to just drive it atleast to a few shows maybe get a kid interested in something other then a turbo Honda. They can relate with the Shelby being it's a turbo 5 speed ,then you add the cool factor then the mopar following . And if I build the hell out of it ,there will be the small detail of me destroying them all .
OK I'm done here's some pictures be honest. Is it bad ?
Except for r.c your a mean honest you can lie
