GLHS Shelby Charger #742 of 1000 made

I drove this car today, and let me tell you, this is one of the most under-rated cars every made. What a blast it was winding 2nd and 3rd gear out! Make you wonder why they only made 1000.

@netrioter There was some rust on the rear hatch on the bottom left but considering the age, pretty darn nice! Alot of pictures, top & bottom. I think it had around 80Kmi on it, but again, for the year....I'd love to have it if for no other reason than to show up some of todays kids with their hopped up imports to show them they were'nt the first to turbo a 4cyl! ;-) Then again, that's probably a good reason my 79 KZ1000st has been off the road for the past 2yrs, I can't resist speed.

@netrioter I found an ebay add for an 87 GLHS w/the stage II chip for $3,500 in NY state, original owner (I live in NH)... you have NO idea how tempted I am! I knew a guy who tweaked a caravan from CT that showed up at the dragstrip every so often that was a daily driver... it ran 13's! Talk about a "Sleeper"! That was back when I worked top of staging in the mid 90's at New England Dragway.

@MoxieMike66 theyre supposed to have 146 hp and ive had one to 135 flat out (done it in a Chrysler Laser Turbo as well)...the GLHS version has 174 hp...and will hit almost 150. Just by swapping the chip out in the Turbo 1 for a Mopar Performance (still sold by Dodge for about $150) chip takes it from 146 to about 210 hp...works on any Turbo 1 engine....lol even the Dodge Caravan.

I'm jealous. I had an 86 Shelby Charger (black & silver, non-intercooled) that I did 120mph in while stationed in El Paso TX in 86-88 and that one supposedly only had 137hp! I agree, there were VERY underrated! Oh, I was blowing the doors off a mid 70s Chevy P/U w/a 350 4bbl at the time I was going 120mph..... and I didn't have it FLOORED. LOL!

These FWD turbo cars were and are the future of high performance
