Description

Well....I can't believe the time has come for me to sell my 1986 Shelby Charger. I bought this car back in Jan 2009 with the intention of building the most bad ass, street driven, stock appearing Shelby Charger out there. The car was originally from Arizona and was there most of its life until the owner I bought it from moved to North Carolina. The car was only in NC for 1-2 years and kept in a garage before I bought it. The car is 100% rust free.
Once I got the car home, I enlisted Mike Demoss from Forward Motion to build my vision for the car. I wanted the car to be powerful (yet streetable) and look completely stock from the exterior. The vision started with the drivetrain and here is what we ended up with:
Engine

Rear disc brake setup from 1990 Shelby Daytona VNT with 11" vented brakes, emergency brake shoes, calipers, pads, rotors, and brake lines
BFG Rival radial 205/50-15 tires
The engine is managed via BigStuff3 so all tuning can be done with a laptop. I have not dyno'd the car but based on Forward Motion's calculations, the car should put 400hp down to the wheels at 23psi. The car is very fast and light. Once the drivetrain was done, I turned my attention to the exterior of the car. Here is a list of things I did to the body:
Exterior
BCT Custom's in Collegeville PA brought the car down to bare metal and completely repainted the entire car.
Paint was used to replace pin striping where possible
Shelby decals were replaced
Original wheels were polished
This was not your run of the mill paint job. It was done right and cost $5500.00. Once the exterior was finished, the last piece was the interior. Here is a list of items that was completed:
Interior
Installed roll cage (this was done prior to painting the car)
Installed Sparco racing seats
Had a custom interior shop install new carpets and headliner, build a new center console, remove rear seat and replace with custom carpet and build platform to cover rear seat area.
Installed 4 point racing harness
Installed Racepak UDX Display dash on custom made mount
The car came out really nice and I am very happy on how the project turned out. Since the car has been completed, I have put roughly 800 miles on the car. I mainly drove it to cars and coffee meet ups and when the weather was nice enough to drive it. I spared no expense on building this car as I wanted it done right from the start. When all said and done, I have 40k in receipts into this car, so you won't be disappointed in it. Mike Demoss from Forward Motion knows this car very well, since he's the one that did most of the work on the car. If you would like his take on the car, feel free to reach out to him. The only reason I am selling the car is to purchase something else that my wife and I can both enjoy and drive together. Let me know if you have any questions.
