i really have been in love with this car since i first saw it in high school. now i have an opportunity to actually buy one and work on it!

thoughts... yay or nay?

[QuickSilverGT]

I voted yes, but it'll probably get expensive.

[Vampyrate]

no doubt about that. the the interior is good, which is what a lot of people are concerned about. other than paint and a few engine tweaks, it should be good to go

maybe even a little body work

[soullesselantra]

i voted no, because in the cash and time it is going to take to have it shipped across teh country then rebuild and restored, you could find a better one closer

[Vampyrate]

there is one closer, but it has more problems and costs more

[QuickSilverGT]

Didn't even notice that shipping would literally be cross country. I'd still say yes because its a collector car. It's going to be expensive and I don't really agree with doing anything but keeping a car like this stock or as close to it as possible, but if thats the car your looking for and it goes for a low price I'd say go for it.

[Vampyrate]

trust me, this will be a full stock restoration... no complex high end stereo work... maybe a mediocore replacement/upgrade adn fresh paint to match the numbers on it and thats that

[metalfetish]

hey, you love the car right? they're hard to find right? and you're willing to work on it.....what are you unsure about?

[GrGaKC]

Just go for it! What are the chances you'll see one in such good shape anytime soon? If it's your dream car, forget everything else and go make your dreams come true!

[projectx515]

the auction says WILL NOT SHIP. in payment details....... might want to contact the seller about that

[Vampyrate]

im aware of that...

i was gonna ship it here anyway, its been sitting for so long

[ghrpdx]

Shipping from Santa Monica to Leesburg starts around $800 plus pickup and drop off. That's another $250 or so. Is the extra $1,000 worth it for you? I see a LOT of rust on the car so it's going to need a lot of money sunk into it beyond just a paint job.

I vote no.

[CornbreadXD]

man, i have an 87 daytona pacifica. I'd sell mine if you wanted but it needs a steering colum and probly some engine work.

thanks for the offer, but i like the shelbys

they came with a turbo in a lot of them, if not all

[BobMs_wht2k2]

If it's a turbo car you want I can hook you up with a 2.2L Turbo Caravan. Runs and drives great. Black, tinted windows. A/C doesn't work though.

[Vampyrate]

i dont need AC never used it in the first place...

now go on about said van

[BobMs_wht2k2]

2.2l TURBO AUTO, reg length caravan. Aluminum honeycom-style wheels. $400 and it's gone.

Sorry for the off topic post, but ...

OMG! :eek: Bob made a grammatical error! :D

Sorry Bob, I couldn't help myself.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

I have no idea what you're talking about sir. . . :D

[ba_feitl]

I say no buy this instead

[ilanpro]

I had one, the biggest POS I hever owned

[fgummett]

Much as I hate to come down on your dreams... I also voted no unless you have a bottomless pit of money to put into it. Body looks pretty rough and I'm also suspicious of the fact he says he has another and has swapped parts between them... I wouldn't be surprised if he has been taking the best from this car and putting it into the other... that's what I'd do if I had two to choose from.

[CornbreadXD]

Aaron, you should check out http://www.Allpar.com cuz there is alot of info before you try for a shelby.

[Doohickie]

Bottom line: That car was on the low end of the product line from Chrysler's darkest days. I'm a bit of a Mopar fan, and I wouldn't touch that with a 3000-mile pole (which you will need, by the way, since it's in California).

[Vampyrate]

thanks for the heads up guys and all the comments, ive made my choice

[OPZ]

Then vamp I hope you don't mind this, but bob whats the year of that van and all the other fun lil details...

[Vampyrate]

OPZ go for it bro! im working on getting a tibby out of my mom and "selling" her this car that i have now

[BobMs_wht2k2]

1989. Vehicle was SUPPOSED to be a 2.5L turbo. Had a long block installed before we bought it and they dropped in a 2.2L. We had to put a crank kit in it because the idiots impacted the flywheel bolts on and stripped all 8 bolt threads. Car had tires put on it 3 years ago. Left driveshaft replaced, brakes, exhaust. Had a newer manifold installed, old one was cracked. Black, tinted windows. Interior is a little rough. Headliner sagging.

Anyting else? Runs great. She got a warning for doing 70 in a 45. She didn't realize how fast she was going.

[OPZ]

Oh snap son I belive this is the project car, er, van i've been looking for...if its the dodge caravan I belive I might be severly interested. I'll pm you my email for pics if you don't mind.
