1987 Dodge Charger Shelby Turbo

$23,995 Cruisin Classics is excited to present to you today this rare, low-mileage 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger GLHS. If you haven't seen one of these before, it's because only 1,000 of them were made back in '87 and they don't come available very often. These cars were all black, limited production, high performance hatchbacks that represent the pinnacle of the L-body platform. Carroll Shelby purchased the final 1,000 Dodge Chargers produced and modified them at his Whittier California plant. The engines were upgraded from a Chrysler Tturbo 1 engine to an intercooled version of the Turbo II engine with a special 2-piece intake system, a relocated radiator (to make room for the intercooler), larger injectors and throttle body, and a Shelby-tuned ECM. These light-weight (2,500 lb) Shelby Chargers were rated at 175hp and 175 lb/ft of torque - plenty quick enough to earn their GLHS moniker, which is said to mean Goes Like Hell S'More. Making this car even cooler is the number on the odometer - a mere 37,422 actual miles! Let's take a deeper dive into this blast from the past... This Charger comes to us with a slick coat of black paint with a nice shine and only few minimal imperfections. The hood features louvered vents on the passenger side and a power-bulge with Intercooled decals on the driver's side. The molded urethane front fascia features a blacked out Pentastar at the top, rectangular bucketed headlights, an upper and lower grille, a bumper cover, and an aero spoiler. Silver stripe decals in good condition wrap around the car at knee height. The windshield has a Shelby decal at the top and you'll find other Shelby decals on the rockers, just behind the front wheels. The dual side mirrors are both body-color and so are the door handle inserts and door edge guards. The c-pillar sail-panels sport faux vents and GLHS graphics. Take a look up on the roof and find a tinted, removable, pop-up sunroof. This Charger sits atop a set of custom Shelby-manufactured Centurion II wheels all wrapped in Hercules G3000V tires. Around back is a large flat square hatchback with a spoiler at the bottom. The spoiler is outfitted with a third brake light and accented with a black Pentastar and Shelby&GLHS decals. Below is a black urethane rear bumper cover and a set of twin exhaust tips. Under the light-weight hood is a very clean engine bay that's home to a 2.2 litre inline 4-cylinder Turbo II engine topped off with a black finned Shelby valve cover. This peppy engine is mated up to a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear end. The impressive power-to-weight ratio of this car allows it to accelerate 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds and cover a quarter mile in the mid-14 second range - pretty darn quick for a car of this era! While under the hood, you'll also see that this ride comes equipped with factory A/C, power steering, and power front disc and rear drum brakes. Out on the road, this car is an absolute blast to drive - agile, responsive, and fast enough to throw you back in your seat when the turbo kicks in! The two-tone grey interior of this Charger is still outfitted the way it left the Shelby factory and it's still in very good condition. The door panels are a blend of grey vinyl, fabric, and carpet with a bright trim strip. Windows are crank-operated and there's an interior toggle for the driver's mirror. Grey factory carpet with carpeted Shelby logo floormats welcomes you inside for a cruise. The two-tone grey vinyl and fabric bolstered bucket seats are in excellent condition and they feature CS logos embroidered on the headrest area. The rear bench seat is in similarly good condition and also has the CS logos. We did note that the rear side panels and C-pillar covers are discolored from age. Betwen the front seats is an emergency brake handle and a leather-wrapped shifter for the 5-speed manual. The driver is treated to a uniquely styled leather-wrapped 4-spoke steering wheel on a stationary column (horn inop
