Thought I would start things off here with a thread to show your car. I'll go first.

These are great! Thanks for sharing! I personally don't know anything about this car, so this will be my first lesson! Very old dog here though!

[CSX-VNT #414]

Hey guys! Here's my VNT-#414. Picked up on June 6, 2007. Thankfully I was able to pick it up, even though it had been VERY reasonably priced to sell for roughly two years. I had inquired about it upon its first for sale ad being posted in a PA newspaper, but wasn't able to finally bring her home until after I had graduated and waited for the weather to get better.



As you can see, she will be a project. But, that's exactly what I wanted, something that I can put a great amount of time and my own personal touch on in order to make it my own. I have acquired all necessary parts that were missing upon the time I purchased it in June, included reproduction front and rear air dams, complete set of fiberides, very nice weatherstrips, brand new door panels, brand new rear floormats, CSX nameplate for dash, rear window louvers, black headlight eyelids for rad. support, and center console. The car needs a windshield, and currently does not run due to what I suspect as a fuel pump problem.

More pics. and info can be seen if you email me! I am looking for a set of recaros if someone has them for sale. In addition, I need one more fiberide as one of mine are damaged.

Thanks for looking! I'll post progress pics. as the project moves along!!!

Check this out and tell me this isn't neat guys! After tracking down and talking with the second owner of my CSX (I'm fourth owner) over the weekend, he dug up some pics of it that he took right after he bought it from an auto auction... in 1993! Talk about a major flashback! This was my car, 15 years ago with just about 16k on the clock! :















^^^ Original tires were still on it!



Notice the absence of the front and rear airdams. They were gone when he bought it he said. Evidence can be seen of the front apparently getting crunched on the left and right side of the front bumper cover - notice the paint chips.

The fiberides were on the car when he sold them to the third owner (who I bought the car from). Unfortunately, they traded them away!


What do you think?>?

Not at all it seems With only 16k miles, and the obvious good condition of the car at the time, I'm sure they would have been salvageable. Wish they wouldve folded the back seat down and threw them in the trunk, as I think the they broke when it was being transported from the auto dealer to the auction where it sold to the second owner

The problem is a sports car driven by morons. You wouldn't baja a Vette or Viper through a parking lot and not expect it to be damaged. The turbo Daytona Shelby and the turbo Shadow are both an inch lower with stiffer springs stock. The 89 CSX goes father lowered another 3/4" and even stiffer springs. Which are wonderfull and I wish I could buy more of them. The ground effects are fiber glass, not that plasic. People LOVE to come straight into parking lots going 40 MPH, then ram the front air dam into the bump stop breaking it off and pinching it to the tire. A moron at Altons here aligned my front end on my Shelby Dakota, then rammed the parking stop with it folding the front Shelby only air dam under and lifting the nose up 2". When I got to the truck it was resting on the air dam were the moron left it. Like many Mustang GT owners I park back a couple feet from the stops when I park. But all it takes is to let your girl friend take the GT 500 KR to the 7 11 and front end is smashed all over the side walk lol. My 89 CSX has 108,000 miles on it now, all the origanal air dams are ok. Except for a crack in the rear one from last summer, a branch came off a turck and went under my car and hit the rear air dam. But it isn't more than an inch and is getting fixxed this spring. The writers of Motor Trend don't know how to drive a sports car either. They completely destroyed no less than 3 front ends on a SRT 8 300C, then blamed Chrysler for there lack of driving. If given a SRT 8 300C for a year as a free daily driver you can better that baby would look new when it went back.

Nice photos!
My CSX is also a restro project. I'm in need of those window belt moldings, as well; which sucks. It also needs a new front air dam! *surprise!*

Here's some more pics:
when we picked it up from chicago: (previous owner brought it from TX to IL...)


After its first wash/was in probably more than 4 years... made a huge difference!

and I just like this picture that I call "turbo car staredown". The black talon was turbo, too. (Its gone now in favor for a white one. lol)

[twobjshelbys]

Great pictures. I just wish we'd warm up and turn green.

It was only in the high 40's today but the sun was totally warm, it felt like high 60's. When the sun went behind a cloud it was cold. I worked outside putting in the HD radio and my feet got cold.

Any one own CSX-VNT #68?

I sold it a few years ago right after I got my mustang, to buy a supercharger for it.

Man I loved these cars!

[CSX-VNT #414]

Well, it says a guy named Ron Ferdinand owns it on the registry for these cars:

I own it. I bought it in 2005 from a guy named John in La Crosse, WI. I am in the process of rebuilding it but it has been a slow process since the Army keeps me pretty busy. Let me know if you want pics and I can email you some. shelbycsx@gmail.com.

Take Care and thanks for taking such good care of her.

Jake, Welcome to the Team Shelby forums. Glad you found us.

Your CSX was originally sold from Mitchell Dodge in New York in case you were curious.

Also you can post pics here on Team Shelby for free. And we all love pics so when you get a chance take a few.

Feel free to post any questions or if you have any restoration tips that you want to share feel free to post them.
