shelbymotorsports Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Tip to ebay seller, Google is your friend. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge-Other-Shelby-Turbo-Z-Black-Dodge-Daytona-Shelby-Z-turbo-5-speed-hatchback-Carroll-Shelby-/261147506072?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3ccd9ab598 How a 1987 Shelby GLHS becomes a Dodge Daytona Z is beyond me. Best part of the sellers description: This is an 1987 Dodge Daytona turbo Z. This is a very rare car. Only 1,000 of these cars were made that year. I have done some research and only 29 of these cars are still known to be around. Dodge took a basic Daytona and handed it to Carroll Shelby to modify. What resulted was a FWD, Turbo charged hatchback. This particular car is the turbo 2 edition putting out 170 horsepower. Forget that its not a Dodge Daytona Z, forget that Shelby never modified Daytona's, forget that the 170hp rating is incorrect but I'd love to know his "research" led him to know that only 29 cars "are still known to be around". The seller probably should have done some research on his $4,000.00 price FYI, this car is GLHS #959 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glhs0075 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'd like to know how he came up with 29 known to exist! (I'm due for a new appraisal, should I point out that exhaustive internet research indicates that it's 1 of only 29 known to exist? ) He's edited the ad a little since you posted SMS, at least he doesn't call it a Daytona anymore. Too bad parts are missing, the body doesn't look too bad. Centurion II's would be a PITA to get shipped, but not too hard to find. GLHS fan might be hard to find, though. Looks like it still has the Konis and the Shelby interior bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Looks like the seller removed his $4,000 Buy It Now price but even then, a reserve opening price of $1,000 for a non running car is still pretty optimistic. Would be interesting to see pics of the engine compartment. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FILF Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 "The interior of this car is very nice for the age. There are no major cuts or discoloration" Guess he missed the big rip in the back of the driver seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
