These Shelby's have a strong but small following. But even after having one with a 5-speed I'm still not one of them. They're kind of a fun tin can, but I could never consider it anything but a daily driver. :huh:

Right off the bat, there is/was no '86 Shelby car.

I dunno about the tin box thing; I was around a lot of these cars. I had an '86 (Chrysler Lazer, same car), Mom had a '90 for a few days' testing, and a good friend bought a '90 new. Stretch had a '90 Turbo IV for awhile, and another friend had an '84 in high school. They were all pretty solid, stable rides, being the same platform as the '87-up LeBaron coupe. The Chargers/Turismos were tin boxes for sure, but they rode on a totally different platform (L-body, a.k.a. Omni). Very few non-engine parts interchange between them.

The automatic transmission hurts here, as do the non-original wheels. The louvers are just plain tacky, but damn... that interior. It's freakin' gorgeous. I'm personally pretty fond of the pre-hideaway-headlamp cars--much more than their long-snouted later brethren--but I can't stomach that digital cluster (or the EVA). Never could; my Lazer XT had it and it was the one thing I truly hated about that car.

$9,500 for a Turbo I/stick would be a stretch, but with an automatic it's ridiculous. Too bad the Turbo II was still a year in the future.
