$100.00 well spent?

[Stretch]

Look what one can buy for about $100.00!



Yep she’s a Shelby z turbo II car! It needs a clutch and a rear brake caliper. That’s about it.

 

[XLR8R]

Whooohoo! Good score!

Where?

Is that going to be a new daily driver?

 

[Stretch]

Yep. I plan to drive the hell oot of it. Once I get a clutch kit and a left rear caliper for it. The trany is out. All I need to do is pick up the parts and reassemble it. The odometer says there is 51000 miles on it and it runs like that is true. The only rust I have found is in the trunk where some dipshit stored a battery. There are only a few small holes from that and the trunk carpet is shot from that too.

That's always handy I wish I could score vehicles like that around here. Sounds like it'll be a fun ride once back together. I'm assuming it's a 5-speed?

Well it doesn't have the ultra rare clutch operated torq-flite in it.[smilie=i:

 

[mopar_man]

Yikes. I don't know how I missed that [smilie=k:

:shifty: Got a complete clutch setup and a spare 5spd layin' 'round here.

I got parts for that mitsu-mishap, trannies dont last long with a sportin right foot but they DO move. As long as you run a narrower hard compound tire that will light instead of hook the output case support will live for a while. Inquiring minds wanna know what the dirty deed was to make THIS happen. Im impressed.:dave:

$100 very well spent, good score big guy.:banana:

[OrphanedV8s]

That's great Stretch!

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Cool! I've been eye-balling cars like that around here - not at that price though - and I'm really not sure why. I don't need a car and my money would be better spent on parts for the Charger, but hell, they just look like fun!

 

[Stretch]

With the price of gas jumping from $2.79 a gallon this morning to $3.19 to night and a supposed $3.50 by tomorrow I had better get it together soon because I sure as hell cant afford to drive anything with more than 4 cylinders. So much for enjoying the charger for the rest of this year.

Indeed. I have a lovely flower planter sitting in the shed also.:doh:

Nothing Mitsubishi in that one... all 100% American Mopar, right down the Detroit-bred, Trenton-built 2.2L. Might be a Getrag-designed trans (still made by Ma), but I thought those came later; I'm not sure.

Its along the same lines as the toyotas that are built stateside, might be assembled here to get over on the import tax but its still jap to me.:toot:

 

[Robertson_Tech]
