1985 Dodge Shelby
Charger

| This is my 1985
Dodge Shelby Charger. I purchased the car in August 1995. In December
1996, this car was hit hard at an intersection. I decided to fix it
instead of sending it to the junkyard. I converted it to turbo 2 a few
years back and enjoyed beating up on Mustangs and Corvettes. |

Of course, I wanted to go
faster and got tired of the ratty look of the car, so I took it apart in
2002 for a repaint and new engine. After two years of hard work, here
are the results. Everything was done in my 3 car garage.
I'd like to thank my friend, Brian Hatton
for doing the major body work and spraying a flawless paint job. |

| Under the hood is a balanced
1989 common block with .040 over JE forged pistons, forged crank, and
shot peened factory 2.2 rods. The Turbonetics T3/TO4E hybrid turbo
blows through a front mounted Spearco intercooler, homebuilt 2.5"
intercooler pipe, a ported one piece intake manifold, a 52 mm throttle
body, and a fully ported/oversize valve "G" head. The fuel system
consists of a Walbro 255 l/hr fuel pump and Mopar Performance 52 lb/hr
injectors. Exhaust flows through a log header, mandrel bent 3" pipe,
and a Walker Bullet muffler before it exits in front of the left rear
tire. |

The car rides on fully adjustable Koni
coilvers with Eibach coils. The wheels are 1987 Shelby Lancer CSS
wheels. I redyed the interior plastic and replaced my worn original
seats and door panels with some from a rolled 1987 GLHS. There are
really too many current and future modifications to list. Hopefully,
the car will see some low 11 second 1/4 mile passes in the future. |
