Hey,
Haven't had a turbo dodge in about 15 years. Parted out my last rotted out 86 Turbo Z back then.
My daughter is now 15 and I've been looking for a cheap car for us to work on together, she's in autoshop learning herself now too.
Ended up finding a great condition 1987 Daytona Shelby Z only an hour from us. We got it for $2500 and she's happy as hell! It's even got aluminum louvers like my old one.
It needs some engine work, we were told it overheats, popped a core plug but is still running. Guy popped a new plug in but leaks a bit. I'm assuming it just needs a good clean up, going over prob a rad, T stat etc. Blows a bit of blue smoke at start up likely valve seals.
But the rest of the car is in great shape.
Has a Blue cloth interior, White car, crab wheels, 140k Miles. Its a US car and not a chrysler (most Canadian branded cars).
We've got about 2 years to get it going again.
Going to start with some diagnosing on the engine then pull it. To clean it up etc.
Pick it up tomorrow morning.
I've been building and wheeling a '79 IH Scout II the last 5 years, just finished an LS swap on it and need to build a full cage.
one tons, 40s, NV4500, doubler, NP205
