We ran a quicky compression test on the 2.5 and one cylinder came up zero, so we gave up on the van project for now. We walked a few rows down the Super U pull it and found a nice 87 Shelby (We have a non-Shelby 85 Charger). We took off the hood, all the ground effects, and the front bumper/grill/thingy, and a tail light. They charged us 30 for the hood, 30 for the front piece, 25 for the taillight, and 8 a side for the ground effects. Oh, we got both seats for 30, too. Took a couple of hours. We met a guy who's selling an 83 Shelby Charger for $900, and we might pick it up. Has a five speed and air, non-turbo of course.
So the whole thing wound up a Shelby Dodge kind of day anyway. This is the 3rd Shelby Charger we've seen in this Albuquerque junkyard, and eventually they all go to the crusher.
