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?
Thanks, Gerry
