A quick check of the Directory of Chrysler Employees with e-mail addresses shows there is a Raul Sosa who works for Chrysler at CTC (Headquarters) in Auburn Hills and his title is listed as International Program Management. I wonder if he could be the original owner. The Directory doesn't show number of years of service so I can't use that to determine if he would have been around then to have had the car.

Ayers Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 11:36 AM To: shelbydodge@imagilist.com Subject: SD> Rarity of '92 Shelby/IROC 2.5 Turbo I cars Hi all. I wanted to post regarding the rareness of the 230 1992 Dodge Daytona IROC's equipped with the 2.5 Turbo I motor. 148 were built with stick, 82 built with the automatic three speed. Mine was a former Chrysler executive car, and it looks like his name was R. Sosa (are you out there somewhere?). Build date on mine was 12-10-91, and it looks like these cars wewre built through the end of December to help deplete the supply of 2.5 motors which wouldn't be available in 1993. I'd like to see posts or hear from people with these cars. Is there a registry? Many of these cars were Chrsler "lease vehicles" to executives, than sold to Chrysler dealers for resale. Mine had approximately 25,000 miles when it came to the dealership (Laconia, New Hamphire...Fitzgerald dealership) for sale. Also, many people say the cars never existed. Wrong. I have the factory literature showing that the 3.0 6 cylinder Mitsubishi motor was standard on the IROC cars. The 2.5 Turbo was a "no cost" option. When ordered, you got "turbo" decals on the hood, and the "Shelby" decals on front lip of hood and rear fascia. I'm thinking this was THE LAST Dodge product to roll off the line with his name on it. At least in the Daytona line. I've stumbled across a few for sale the past few years. Most have been wrecked or trashed. Even more interesting...some say they came delivered with PUMPER wheels instead of NINJA style. Can anyone prove that with a window sticker or build sheet?
