Yes
I have 4 Daytonas; 86 Turbo Z CS , 90 Daytona ES Turbo, 90 Daytona Shelby VNT, 85 Daytona Turbo Z, A 89 Shadow ES Turbo, 89 Spirit Turbo
Plus the 03 PT GT and a 00 Durango SLT+ and 02 Grand Cherokee
I just restored the 89 Shadow. Striped it to the shell, repainted with Spies Hecker BAse Clear. Put a 2.5 .030" over, Mahle pistons, ditched the balance shafts, put crank scrappers, windage screen, opened the oil pump hole. Everything machined. Have ported exhasut manifold, Garret T2 turbo, 2.5" SV and exhaust. Also did the complete
suspension, new rack, line, ball joints, tie rod ends, KYB Struts/shocks, SS Flex lines etc. ALso put a A555 with moly plate in it, T3/T2 clutch/PP. Used a 89 CSX intercooler. Car had 192K miles and engine needed a head gasket but was in pretty nice shape. However I decided to thouroughly rebuild it. Also ran new brake lines and the gas tank, fuel pump(Walbro 255ltr/hour) were repalced before.
Have about 1000 miles on it so far, car hauls ass even with the stock 2.5 T1 cal. Have a 15 PSI TU cal on order and will upgrade to a 3BAR Map with +40's and 20 PSI cal later on.
I did the essentailly the same build up to my 86, but didnt get as deep in the engine, just regasketed everything since it only had 120K miles on it. Used a 3" exhaust instead of the 2.5" Will have the 86 painted this year.
Next year I will build up the 90 ES. will use a super 60 or something that size and also have a Large NPR to stuff in the nose. Have a A568 in the basement waiting to go. Unfortunatly I can only do them so fast, it is nice to have many cars, all paid for
BTW, In the last month or so, I have been contacted by a couple of people looking for info on these cars, one guys is writing a book on Shelby and wanted info on his development with Dodge and another is a writer from Hemmings. Guess he/they feel these cars are probably the next good investments for performance cars which are likely to appreciate in value over time.
