I am new to the Shelby Forum and have never used this type of media before. I hope to find other Dodge Shelby owners who may have an interest in my cars. All advice is welcomed! Todd
Welcome to the forum, Todd! It tends to be a cross between a Town Hall meeting and a Block Party.... there's a tremendous number of good folks stop by from time to time; hope you enjoy it. Good luck with your car(s)
I have an original 1983 1/2 Dodge Shelby Charger with ~81K miles on it, and two 1984 Dodge Shelby Chargers. I spend most all my time traveling with my job so I have very little time to play. I owned a 83 1/2 when they first came out and never got away from how much I loved the car and enjoyed driving it. About 8 years ago I purchased the 83 1/2 I have now and began bringing it back to original condition mechanically. All it needed was a new carb, shocks, and some good basic tune up parts. The previous owner was young and didn't realize the value of the car and wasn't great with maintenance. Luckily he hadn't owned it for very long. The car is overall in great shape but needs some cosmetic work in the form of new carpet and headliner, and tires. My other two cars are great for restoration but no time means they are just sitting in the barn. I am considering selling them if someone is truly interested in them and has a passion for the Shelby legacy and what it means when a car has his name on it.
Great to know that I am not alone with my love for the Shelby Chargers! Let me know if you know of anyone who might be interested in buying my Shelbys. I hate to do it but they really need someone who can devote more time to them instead of just letting them sit. Todd
