Just a quick pic and hellow to everyone here. I just heard about this site today, so I figured I would check in. Here is a poor pic of some of the Shelbys I have eating me out of house and home.  



Vic in Phoenix

Well I'll be, welcome to Team Shelby Vic. It's been awhile since anyone has heard from you  

Glad you found us and hope you'll be a regular poster here. It's always great too see a long time Shelby Dodge enthusiast show up and share their knowledge.

So when are you coming out to SoCal to visit us? It's still the first Thursday of every month at Applebee's in LaHabra. You have many friends there that would be glad to see you.

Does it start properly with the key now? LOL

OK, so I did have to bump start the Rampage for the first 8 years I owned it Funny thing is, I never 'figured out' what was wrong with it.  I pulled the head for some porting/polishing and replacing a weepy HG, and when I reassembled the top end, it starts fine and has ever since   How about you come out and degree the cams for me now? That's gotta be worth a few more ponies

The trophy is for Best Domestic BTW. What a riot. The car looks like it was painted with a mop. But I did add the drilled / slotted 11" rotors ($185 for 4 rotors and pads from brakeplanet.com) off a 89 Shelby Daytona. Then it has the 17 x 7.5 Konig Feathers and 225 40 17 Nitto 555 tires. Other than that it looks stock. Getting into Silverwood normally is about $40 per adult, when you get into the show you get 2 tickets into the park and enter the car for $30. So I washed up the CSX and loaded the kids and hit it. I added the CSX brouchure, the 89 Motor Trend, and some other rag on the car and put them on the dash opened to be read through the windshield. Then into the park with the hood left up. After I was tired and ready to leave I went over and started packing up the car and the judges cornered me and asked "where I was going". So I told the massive import judges I was "going home" and they started whining about it and asked me to stay. Compact people have always been treated as lesser people, the idea of a Shelby made compact floored them. They have never heard of such a thing. They stared at it wondering how such a car could exist and they had never heard of it lol. So I told them about the VNT / VVT turbo. Then I went on about the fiberglass fiber ride wheels. Fact is only 2 true tuner manufactured compacts have ever been made, the N02 Focus sucks as they only did suspension and body kit.

So I listened as they went through best Dodge and thought I stayed for no reason. They went through all the manufactures that were domestic. Then they came to best domestic. With many V8 guys there at the Compact show, with trash cans of cash thrown at them, they loved my Shelby CSX best. Amazing, I build these things to piss off the import lovers with an American car that doesn't need a V8 to beat them. The American V8 crowd can't stand the car and the Import people absolutely love it, crazy. Had to share...

some old man in Vegas bought the car and took it home to paint it. He filled in spots on the hood and doors and then squired dots with primer. Then he painted the car, most of it with red pain and no flex. There are curten runs on the rear fender and the paint was almost clear so you can see dots all over the car. Not to mention fish eye spots and general crap in the paint. But from 10 ft away she looks good, so I drive fast lol. The wheels and rotors really help the CSX in looks, big time.

The 1988 Shelby CSX-T is the one car Carroll doesn't have in his collection so if you run across a clean, original one drop me a note. I would like to get one in the Shelby museum someday even if we have to get one on loan.

Steve

PS- Hope to see you in Vegas. Lots to see there.

Steve,
There was a low mile one on the bay about a year ago 12,000 miles. Mine's clean...not original though.... This was the car that was featured in High Performance Mopar on how to intercool your 2.2... She was quite a mess when i got her...but she looks good now.... .... And no it's not coming out this year.... Most likely I'll be renting a MOOOSetang... Can you bring me a Birthday Poster to have signed?  Here's a pic of the racecar.....

Tim, if you come out to Vegas I'll give you a ride in the red S    It's pretty unlikely that it will make an SDAC event any time soon, it's just too many miles to get there *with* a car

We are still interested in a Vegas SDAC, but I don't know if we have made any progress on it or not.  Last I heard was that even with some substatial subsidies from members, club mngmnt feels that a Vegas event would be seriously under attended and hence be a big money loser    I don't share that veiw and there are many who don't but more discussion needs to take place
