Default Re: Cars for sale worth mentioning

Back in 1992, I stopped counting how many of the 80's era "turbo-Dodge" cars I owned when I reached 100. These were literally everywhere, and being one of the first generations of computer controlled, fuel injected cars, they might suddenly die due to a failed hall effect pickup (HEP), which is the equivalent of a crank position sensor in the Crossfire, or a bad MAP sensor. People couldn't work on them, and I would pick these cars up for sometimes as little as $50 (the going rate on scrap cars at the time). Some of these cars were breathed on heavily by Shelby Automobiles, and I have had the privilege of owning many of these particular vehicles. Absolute missiles, and underrated by absolutely everyone, including the factory, which would frequently post HP and torque figures well below what they really made. Friday nights out cruising saw many Mustangs and Camaro IROC-Z's go home with their tails between their legs, after seeing my little GLHS disappearing in front of them!
