1989 Dodge Shadow Shelby Csx on 2040-cars
United States
|
I have owned the car for about ten years. Car has very high freeway miles and needs a full restoration. The car has numerous small rattles and other problems. I have been using it for my daily driver for three years now. I have bought a newer daily driver and need to clear driveway space. There is no rust on the car, even by the parking brake cable. It has also never been into an accident. The car does run and drive. I have a clear California title in my name. It is currently registered as non-operational and there are no back due DMV fees. The person I bought it from related to me in essence that he and his wife bought the car from a used car lot in the early 1990’s. He also used the car for daily transportation and had to sell it due to divorce. I can help with transportation (drop off at shipping company ect) and test drives are welcome but the car will remain with me until full payment is cleared. Car is located in southern California. Full payment due in thirty days. Car must be gone in 45 days. Again, the car really needs a full restoration. I have about 100 more pictures (including underside) send your email address and will I send them to you. The car is being sold as is with no warranty. The vehicle is also being sold where it is. If you have any specific picture requests just send them to me. I am available most days and weekends. If you need to speak with me please send me a message. Just to make it clear the car has very high miles and needs a total restoration. ENGINE: It currently has a 2.5l turbo common block bottom end. The balance shafts have been removed and the oil feed hole plugged. The engine does not make any knocking noise. This engine was installed about 50,000 miles ago. A new oil pump was installed when the motor was put in. The cylinder head is a later style turbo cylinder head. It has the original VNT/T2 intake manifold. It has a later T2 exhaust manifold and an 89 spec T2 turbo. The turbo has around 50,000 miles on it. There are stainless steel oil/coolant lines for the turbo. The VNT wiring harness is still in the car. It is running a 1990 turbo 2.5l SBEC. The check engine light is on due to the lack of an EGR valve. It has a new larger V6 radiator installed about 20,000 miles ago. There is also a large front mount intercooler on the car. There is 2.5 inch aluminum intercooler plumbing and a Bosch BOV. The car uses a stock SRT-4 air filter. The car body was not cut to fit the intercooler or plumbing. The AC system (when installed) did fit with the intercooler and plumbing. Boost is controlled with a Grainger valve (does overboost on occasions). I do not have the original block or cylinder head. I do have the VNT turbo (might be able to rebuild but consider as a core only), VNT SBEC, and VNT solenoids. There is a 92 turbo roller cam installed. There are polybushings.com front and right side motor mounts installed. It does have a Shelby valve cover, but I believe it is an early two piece design. EXHAUST: I got the car with a 2 1/2 ” cat back system installed. Has a stainless steel Magnaflow muffler. Also has a working Mopar catalytic converter. The original 2 1/2 ” downpipe is still installed. The exhaust system is quiet but does have some rattles. TRANSMISSION: When I bought the car it had a non original early A555 installed. I rebuilt the A555 30,000 miles ago. All bearings, races, snap rings, and oil feeder were replaced. I replaced all of the shift fork pads that I could get (four I think). I also replaced all of the seals during the rebuild. It does have an early four pinion differential. The transmission was rebuilt because the main shaft started to deteriorate (very common problem on 555 transmissions). To solve this problem the main shaft was turned and a sleeve was installed. A drain plug was also installed. It currently has production Spirit R/T axles that make no noise and do not have torn C/V boots. SUSPENSION: I installed Gabriel struts and KYB shocks about 65,000 miles ago. No better shocks or struts were available. It does have polybushings.com front sway bar bushings, control arm bushings, upper and lower rear spring perch pads. The car still has the original Shelby springs. BRAKES/WHEELS: Still has the Shelby four wheel disc brake setup installed. There are Porterfield R4S front brake pads and Porterfield brand front rotors installed. It has OEM replacement rear pads and rotors. A complete (six) set of stainless steel brake lines from FWD performance are installed. I replaced the rear wheel bearing (inner and outer) and races 30,000 miles ago. I also replaced the entire front wheel hubs/bearings at the same time. The car needs a new parking brake rear cable installed. I got the rims from another car that was parted out a few years ago and do not know the brand. It does have the correct size hub rings and Motegi locking lug nuts (I have the key). They do have some road asphalt on them and it doesn’t seem to affect the balance. The tires have about 40% tread left and are not cracked or repaired. Tire size is 225/45/17. EXTERIOR: The paint on the car is really bad. It was repainted about five years ago by a paint shop in Fallbrook. PPG paint was used but I think the red primer caused the problems. I never cared as it didn’t cost very much money and was a lot better looking then before. The clear coat was never able to be buffed out. I would plan on a repaint. Again the paint is really bad. There are road chips and several parking lot dings in doors. The headlights were replaced after the paint job and I have two extra sets. There is a small dent below the left rear tail light assembly. I do not have the replacement decals. I do have the rear CS emblem but did not reinstall it because I didn’t want it to get stolen. I also have the front ground effects/ air dam but it needs to be repaired and painted. It was installed painted with the car and one additional time. The air dam hangs really low and hits on every driveway or any road debris so I just left it off the last time it got damaged. It is the original front air dam. All of the other ground effects are installed and are the original ones. It still has the Shelby grille. The car will also need a new driver’s side door and door hinge assembly. All of the window trim is present but it is old and cracking. The windshield was replaced at the same time as the paint job but not has a crack. Both under hood Shelby tags are present and match the VIN for the car. The rear spoiler is on the care but has a crack. INTERIOR: The Shelby interior is still in the car. The driver’s seat is very worn. The rear seat and passenger seat are in OK condition. It has the Shelby sill tags and the CSX interior tag. I don’t have the Shelby dash plaque. The person I bought the car from related that it wasn’t there when he got the car either. The Shelby steering wheel is still in the car but the leather needs to be recovered. The Shelby horn button is also present. The Shelby boost gauge is also installed and working. There is a CD player installed. I also have the original am/fm radio. The previous owner installed the black carpet and redid the headliner. The headliner needs to be redone. The air conditioning is not installed. I do have a compressor and lines but no condenser. The evaporator also should be replaced. The driver’s side window does not roll down because of the door. All of the gauges are working. |

NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units
Tue, Dec 20 2016It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.
Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
The Chrysler brand could be axed under Stellantis management
Sun, Jan 3 2021MILAN — While running NissanÂ’s North American operations from 2009 to 2011, Carlos Tavares had a reputation for closely watching costs with little tolerance for vehicles or ventures that didnÂ’t make money. Experts say that means Tavares, currently the head of PSA Group, is likely to follow that blueprint when he becomes leader of a merged PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The low-performing Chrysler brand might get the axe as could slow-selling cars, SUVs or trucks that lack potential. Already the companies are talking about consolidating vehicle platforms — the underpinnings and powertrains — to save billions in engineering and manufacturing costs. That could mean job losses in Italy, Germany and Michigan as PSA Peugeot technology is integrated into North American and Italian vehicles. “You canÂ’t be cost efficient if you keep the entire scale of both companies,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for the iSeeCars.com auto website. “WeÂ’ve seen this show before, and weÂ’re going to see it again where they economize these platforms across continents, across multiple markets.” Shareholders of both companies are to meet Monday to vote on the merger to form the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker, to be called Stellantis. The deal received EU regulatory approval just before Christmas. Tavares, who for years has wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S., wonÂ’t take full control of the merged companies until the end of January at the earliest. He likely will target Europe for consolidation first, because thatÂ’s where Fiat vehicles overlap extensively with PSAÂ’s, said IHS Markit Principal Auto Analyst Stephanie Brinley. Europe has been a money-loser for FCA, and factories in Italy are operating way below capacity — a concern for unions, given FiatÂ’s role as the largest private sector employer in the country. “We are at a crossroads,Â’Â’ said Michele De Palma of the FIOM CGIL metalworkersÂ’ union. “Either there is a relaunch, or there is a slow agonizing closure of industry, in particular the auto industry, in Italy.” ItalyÂ’s hopes lie with the luxury Maserati and sporty Alfa Romeo brands, but De Palma said investments are needed to bring hybrid and electric technology up to speed. FiatÂ’s Italian capacity stands at 1.5 million vehicles, but only a few hundred thousand are being produced each year. Most factories were on rolling short-term layoffs due to lack of demand, even before the pandemic.
