1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby By ButchN

 

1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby

 
HI, here is my submission for Mopar of the month. It is a 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby intercooled turbo.  This Daytona came from the factory with a 2.2 liter intercooled turbo engine mated to an A555 Getrag gearset 5 speed transmission which produced 174 bhp/200 lb/ft torque at the flywheel.  This car came fully loaded with leather interior, tilt, cruise, power windows & locks, 8 way power adjustable seats & the highly sought after "T"-bar roof package.  1989 was also the last year the Daytona line up would receive this option & the intercooled 2.2 Turbo II engine.  Other intercooled options for later years were the VNT for 1990 (turbo IV) & the 16 valve engine for 92/3 (turbo III).
 
I bought this car from an auto salvage yard in February of 1999 for $600.  It has taken over a 1.5 years & over $5000 but I have restored this car to nearly pristine condition.   In July of 2000 I attended the Carlisle all Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle PA & I put my car up on the Mopar Muscle Magazine Dyno Challenge.  The actual HP rating was 218.2/305.9 with only 16 lbs of boost. I ended up being one of the lucky 16 that Mopar Muscle picked to be in the Dec '00 issue which can be seen on page 35. I also took the car out to a Mopar car show where out of 7 FWD Mopars, I was able to take home a 1st place trophy. I plan to do a little more work over the winter of 2000/01 to make the car look like show room condition & I also plan on a lot more HP with the  addition of a larger turbo, larger intercooler & more boost. Thanks for your time & hopefully interest in my car for Mopar of the Month.
