I am selling my 1991 Dodge Shadow “Shelby CSX” convertible to make room for another recent purchase. I am moving this car due to space limitations, there is no problem with the car.

For the record, the last production vehicles produced by Shelby for Dodge were the 1989 Shelby CSX and Dakota. Dodge Shadow convertibles were made from 1991-1993. So this is obviously not a real Shelby, and I am not presenting it as such.

This is really a tribute car, or a concept of what a CSX convertible might have looked like if the relationship had continued into 1991.

This car was made from a 1991 Shadow that had over 100,000 miles. It was stripped to the shell, and rebuilt using NOS, or like-new components. The mileage (16,7xx) shown is the true mileage from the conversion. That is the true mileage for the drivetrain, suspension, etc.

The car is well maintained, clean, and drives like new. The major flaw is the headliner (the 6” strip) needs to be replaced. The glue dried, and the fabric was removed when it started sagging.

The highlights of the car include:

? 2.5 L inline four, turbo and intercooled

? Rear disc brake conversion

? Koni adjustable shocks with performance springs at all four corners

? Cross drilled rotors with powerdoated calipers, and SS brake lines.

? Turbos unleashed Garrett turbo

? A555 close ratio 5 speed transmission

? 1989 Sheby CSX fabric on doors, seats

? Recaro front buckets

? Custom Shelby dash plaque

? Carroll Shelby autographed tachometer

? Shelby Turbo boost gauge

? 1989 Shelby CSX ground effects, including front air dam, rear fascia, side skirts with door panels, and grill

? Fiberride Shelby wheels from an ’89 CSX (Fiberglass composite)

? Powdercoated gas tank

There is more that I probably cannot think of. The pictures will tell more than I can say about the condition of the car. It is garage kept, babied, and wins or places in every car show I have taken it to. Most recently was awarded a Gold award at the 2014 Florida Mopar Nationals (March), and placed 3^rd in the front drive class at the 2013 Don Garlits Mopar Show (Oct ’13). This is a very fun car to drive, show, and just look at. Looking for a good home for it!

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392

Mon, Mar 9 2015

I've just started reading the third installment in a planned five-book biography of Lyndon Baines Johnson, Master of the Senate, written by the incomparable Robert Caro. Conveniently, a recent trip to drive the BMW X6 M and 228i Convertible was to be staged in Austin, TX, within easy driving distance of LBJ's birthplace, Johnson City. And yes, the city is named for his family. Having completed my duties with the Bimmers, I borrowed the spangled 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 you see above, to squire me around the Texas capitol for a weekend, and as a lift out to the Hill Country homestead of our 36th President. Johnson City isn't exactly a road trip mecca, but there's a pretty good brewery, a museum, the reconstructed LBJ house to take snapshots of, and it's a nice drive to get out there if you've got a 485-horsepower muscle car at your disposal. Driving Notes With the heroic Hellcat, this 392 and the R/T Scat Pack (that Brandon Turkus reviewed recently), there are more SRT-treated Challengers to choose from than ever before. There are 707 obvious reasons that the Hellkitty is the top dog (as it were), but there are important difference between this 392 and the Scat Pack, too. Both cars make use of the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 putting out 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, but the 392 also gets an adaptive suspension, six-piston Brembo brake calipers (instead of four-piston), wider tires, leather and Alcantara seats, a heated steering wheel, a louder stereo and HID headlights. When LBJ was campaigning for his seat in the House of Representatives, he would've loved to have something as potent as this monster of a V8 under the hood of his canvassing car. The 6.4L snorts with authority before it sends the big coupe forward to just about any speed I'd ask of it, and with a quickness. Johnson was known for haranguing drivers to step on it, when all that stood between himself and a few more votes was the ability to fit one more stump speech into the day. The 392 feels as though it could cover a quarter of the state of Texas in a morning if you throttle down deep enough (faster even than the Johnson City Windmill, I'd guess). Though there's a six-speed manual available, I'm actually quite fond of the eight-speed automatic in the 392. The two-pedal setup better suits the fast-cruiser attitude of the car, and it never served up any poorly conceived shift logic when I left it in D. Of course, the roads are better now than they were in the 1930s and 40s, too.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
