First of all I'm new here so hello. Second of all I owned a 1989 2.5L Daytona as my first car--unfortunately a 1985 F350 truck hit me head on and took her away from me. Anyway, I'm in the process of restoring and modifying my Camaro when one of my Fbody club members asked me if I wanted to buy his '88 Shelby Z...FOR TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. I said yes...naturally. The car itself only has 61k miles on the engine and chassis--but has been sitting for years and years. It needs quite a bit of TLC but I think I can live with it. It needs a clutch, battery, fuses, and a few other minor things to get running again. I pick up the car and trailer it to a safe location next weekend. I'll get some pics up then of the car's cosmetic condition. What bothers me is the sheer lack of replacement parts in good shape on the market. I need the rear bumper+taillights among other things. I'm not looking to change any performance, infact I'm only interested in restoring this to factory spec and using it as my daily driver while I rebuild my Camaro.
I do have a few questions maybe someone could answer.
Thanks, looking forward to reading your replies.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum...its the closest thing I could find.
I do have a few questions maybe someone could answer.
- What else should I look for to repair/replace to ensure reliability as a daily driver?
- Where would I find the Shelby plaque with the unit #?
- What's one of these run in the ¼mi stock?
- How much boost does the turbo run stock?
- Does it really have 174bhp and 200 torque stock like Wiki says?
Thanks, looking forward to reading your replies.
