dmyers151 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I picked this up a few weeks ago with plans to daily it over the winter. However, the more I look at it, the more I realize I can't subject this car to that kind of punishment. It's far too rare & cool (to me at least) to put thru a NY winter. It's a factory 2.2L turbo/intercooled 5spd Daytona, and a real Shelby Z car. The car runs great, just had a full tune-up and service performed at the dealership before I bought it, still has the tag on the key. The body and paint are in amazing shape considering how old the car is. I haven't washed it yet, but my brother waxed the hood and its very promising. A few things I'd like to add:- Compression is 148psi +/- 2psi across the board, very healthy- The OBD is throwing a code for the wastegate solenoid and speed sensor, I'm looking into these but they don't seem to have a drastic affect on driveability- Could use (2) tires, but not needed- Needs new e-brake cables installed (comes with them)- Odometer stopped working a short time ago, easy fix- AC belt has been removed, compressor wheel spins freely though- Has a small rot hole in the drivers floor pan, typical for these cars- Has a small dent on the drivers fender- Has a dent on the passenger quarter panel, just below the gas door- Hood has some dents & buffer swirling- Passenger door only opens from inside, needs handle adjustment- Comes with brand new front & rear drilled/slotted rotors and brake pads- Comes with (4) brand new spark plugs, correct part # per the FSM- Comes with a full set of Factory Service Manuals in almost new condition Here's some pictures (the hood is popped):http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/74d1160c.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/d9924d50.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/a9a8c009.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/c3da01ec.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/d6365665.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/5be9abea.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/b090f965.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/dc6a4c33.jpg I'm asking $2,500, that seems to be what similar cars are going for. Feel free to take me down a peg if you feel otherwise, lol. The car is located in Chester, NY and is being stored indoors and will remain there until it's sold or I bite the bullet and winter drive it. Post up or PM me with questions. Thanks,- Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coke Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 A local friend of mine has shown interest in this when I talked to him yesterday. Can you TXT me the pictures, then I can forward them to him? Or just TXT him directly... I can give you his mobile number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modifyd Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 DO you still have the Shelby valve cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 The valve cover that's on there is the one I got with the car. Not sure these models came with the Shelby VC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Also, now entertaining offers around $2,000. The guys over at the turbo-dodge forums are really taking me down a peg on this car, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah man, it's not looking like its going to sell. I can't believe how little interest it's gotten, bad market and all. I've only received a handful of super low-ball offers. Once I can scrape together the outrageous DMV fees (**** New York State) I'm going to register and drive it. Thanks! I love the trophy, it's definitely the highlight of my car stuff collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Nice lookin car and those 2.2's were near bulletproof. I put a few of them through hell and back and didn't have much for problems. Even ran one with a blown head gasket for about 3 months and she kept rollin.
