my 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger

[WalkS]

SO here is the story. When I was 14 years old, my dad bought me a 1983.5 Shelby Dodge Charger n/a H.O 2.2. Is was a basket case, rusted out, engine had so much detonation the pistons melted, so we junked it. I like that car so much for being so different since everyone has Honda's back then.



But after numerous cars after that. It took me 6 years to find another on. I finally found this a 1986 Shelby Dodge Charger, this is the non-intercooled turbocharged version. They are known as the first USDM sport compact cars back in the day.

It's different, ugly and rare and perfect for me.
haha.

2.2 SOHC, 8 valves, standard t3 turbo. And butt loads of torque.

A couple links here for more in depth information about it.

I'll keep this thread as my build/restoration thread.

Sick, My dad had one when I was growing up, Always loved that car.

[Double_0_Rusty]

That's awesome dude. Good find, and good luck with the build.

[Mad Mike]

I looked at one of these a month ago. It was in perfect condition inside and out with a newish motor and brand new paint. I like the hard to find cars but there was no way I could come up with the cash.

They are really good looking and rare cars. Good luck with the project.

[WalkS]

Thanks for the complements guys! Don't worry my Honda people, I still have a EF civic and a CRX Si I plan on running 10's in one of them. Just had to get back to my roots...

[SDBCIVIC]

[Catnip]

[On_Her_Face]

Hmm, I know nothing of this motor, are they able to make power? Any links or sources about this motor?

Same car...

[Jaimecbr900]

Cool car. I wanted one of those bad, back in the day. I actually test drove a brand new Dodge GLH once. I thought it was very pimp. I kinda wish I'd bought it. Maybe one day I'll run across one that's not been molested.


GL with your project.

Nice about how much money to get into the Mid 12 seconds like the red one on that guy's website?

The motor does not have to be "beefed" up as much as I thought to get it into the mid 12 seconds.

I would have to say no more than $1,500 bucks including the price of the car ($500). He had alot of used parts he used on his red daytona.

The Shelbys are nice cars. Restore that thing and take it out to some AllPar track days.

[Nissan Sean]

looks very similar to the starion... which im sure it has some stuff in common....but i could be wrong... cool car anyway..

[On_Her_Face]

too bad it is FWD..

[Glides]

I have always loved these cars. Those and the Old Colt Turbos, the round ones. The old Shelby Lancers and the GLH Turbos (STands for Goes Like Hell....Factory said that)

Awesome find. Rock it man.

And you know what the awesome part when I bought this car? The previous owner gave me almost a complete spare interior. Im talking about everything, front CS seats, rears CS seats, brand new OEM Shelby stickers, climate contro, arm rest and etc...

I plan on it...

Thanks man. Those colts are so hard to find, and i love those Lancers too same as the GLH(S). It's just hard to find one that's not rusted.

[RUFFIAN]

I love it! go forth and kick much A$$ REPPED.

[redmanhart]

Nice find man. When I was growing up, my mom used to drive the Duster variation of those cars. It definitely was not anywhere near a Shelby though lol. Don't remember a whole lot about that car sadly.

[puregroove]

oh man, I want to see what you got in the pockets for this.

[Stormhammer]

nice!

[WalkS]

oh man, I want to see what you got in the pockets for this.

Im pretty sure you mean what are my plans for it? Well first thing first I plan on replacing all the seals on the doors, etc. Mostly little things here and there to make it more road worthy. I swear this car has more vacuum lines than 6 civics put together. I don't want to be in a position chasing down a cracked vacuum line, I'll be in big trouble. Then I plan on doing a TII conversion, intercooler, bigger turbo, basically upgrades from there.

[WalkS]

I just ordered a Turbounleased 3in exhaust, Flowtech muffler, Dawes Devices Fuel Cut defender, and other little stuff. I'll have pictures up once they come in, and once there installed. Hopefully I can get them installed before the 31st, so I can run it at SDR.

[On_Her_Face]

I want to see this thing running low 12s

[WalkS]

Hopefully one day it will...haha, Im still a student. Budgets mods are only good for right now...

[WalkS]

I went to the SDR today for the first test and tune, and I ran a 15.0 @ 91mph!!! FU*K YEA!!!!!!! Sorry im excited for getting that time, I literally dropped 1 second off my first pass. And this is completely stock, 2in crush bent exhaust that's it. The reason why Im so surprised to run what I did was b/c the SAE rate hp is only 145hp for these cars. Pictures will come soon!

[MidLifeCrisis]

the torque is a bit higher buddy, lol.

[xdavidscenex]

not bad brain!!! time for more boost!

[WalkS]

the torque is a bit higher buddy, lol.

Shhh! Lol, only you and I are suppose to know that!

[WalkS]

Here is a couple redundant pictures from test and tune today.

[puregroove]

dang, man... that's one bad ride.

[Master Shake]

great looking car man, i'm diggin the interior.

i bet from a distance some people might confuse it with a supra celica from back in the day.

[SiChik478]

Repped +1 looks good...

[Glides]

Awesome car. I loved those when I was driving. Rock on man.
