  • An Urban Legend Lives? Alleged Shelby CV525

    An Urban Legend Lives? Alleged Shelby CV525

    The seller claims this is a Shelby CV525, which is basically an internet rumor, and that is it one of ten, with only two in the US.  Why would ANY Crown Victoria exist outside the US?  Why is this interesting, you ask?  Because it claims to be a Panther with supercharger and manual trans.  Unfortunately,…

  • Rare Shelby-Dodge Collection

    Rare Shelby-Dodge Collection

    There’s been a lot of talk about 80s cars lately, with some of the most collectible starting to go up in value.  This means Gen Xers are starting to enter the collector world to snap up the IROCs and SVOs they dreampt of back in the day. At the Auctions America Fort Lauderdale event in…

  • From Humble Roots Came Something Interesting

    From Humble Roots Came Something Interesting

    Is there any car more humble than a Dodge Shadow?  I’m sure you can come up with one, but you get the point.  Most Shadows fell into the category of “basic transportation”, but some interesting, turbocharged engines were available here, just like on all other K-car derivative.  A Mitsubishi V6 even snuck in late in…

  • 80s Shelby in the right Color Scheme

    80s Shelby in the right Color Scheme

    Here we have a 1985 Dodge Shelby Charger with a later engine swapped in and wearing later wheels.  The good news is it’s in the proper silver and blue regalia.  The bad news is that paint has more than a bit of patina. The car is not without issues, so bid accordingly.  The seller provides…

  • Speaking of Dodge SUVs, here’s a Shelby SP360!

    Speaking of Dodge SUVs, here’s a Shelby SP360!

    We’ve posted one of these before, but these Shelby SP360 Durangos are rare finds and this one is in the same town as Oddimotive HQ.  The price is high, but the miles are low…good thing I have no toy car budget at this point!  Short reminder:  Kenne Bell Supercharged 5.9L V8 (360 CID and 360…

  • Claimed Shelby Museum CSX-T

    Claimed Shelby Museum CSX-T

    We’ve featured a Shelby CSX before, but it was in fairly poor condition.  This one claims 48K miles and museum history. The condition certainly appears to be excellent, including original wheels and interior.  These make cool little sleepers with their 2.2L turbo I4 engines.  The previous car had a plaque indicating it was a Thrifty rental,…

  • Goes Like Hell or Project from Hell?

    Goes Like Hell or Project from Hell?

    Here we have one of the original pocket rockets – the Omni GLH from the mid 1980s.  Who wouldn’t love 80s domestic mediocrity in the form of a shitbox hatch, but stuffed with a turbo four yielding impressive straight line performance in this light car?  Carroll Shelby himself was involved, and even bought the last…

  • Remember the Shelby GT350H?

    Remember the Shelby GT350H?

    Well, this ain’t it. However, this was an attempt at doing the same thing during Shelby’s Chrysler phase and working with Thrifty. Of all things, they chose a Dodge Shadow.  Despite that, the CSX is one we’ve always wanted to try out – quite a bit of power in a small package.  One can only…
