Description

The early '80s could quite possibly be considered the dawn of compact performance. The good ole days of fire-breathing muscle cars were long gone, but enthusiasts still thrived. And a new generation of gearheads latched onto small, easy to own hatchbacks like this all-original Shelby Charger. The L-Body Charger, American style with a touch of international power, was a pretty rare car; and it made no qualms about catering directly to enthusiasts. Because of that, most of these global featherweights were whipped to an early grave by three or four different owners. And, as any '80s car fan will tell you, finding a Shelby Charger that's in good condition is becoming extremely difficult. Well, until now… This 13,336 actual mile coupe is an exceptional example of just that. Pampered and paraded its entire life, this Dodge is an impressive time capsule that'll transport you right back to the days when performance was more than just horsepower!

By 1983, this Belvedere-built coupe had become an established player in America's re-invigorated compact car market. Eccentric gearheads knew if you wanted to look cool, you bought an L-Body. And if you wanted to look cool and go fast, you bought a Shelby L-Body. Averaging just over 430 miles per year, this pint-size MoPar appears to have rarely seen anything other than sunshine and warm summer days. A quick check of the car's undercarriage and suspension reveals no evidence of catastrophic rust or abuse. A quick check of the car's profile reveals its body has never seen any major repairs. And a quick check of our pictures confirms its original Santa Fe and Radiant Silver skin is both bright and glossy. That's right, even 31 years after it rolled out of the showroom this spry sports coupe is still a true head turner everywhere it goes!

With its low window sills and 2.5-box proportions, this Shelby is a model of early '80s cool. At the front of the car, an aggressive, Shelby-designed air dam centers a black pentastar and clean “DODGE” script between clear parking lamps and bright halogen headlights. At the top of that dam, a sloped hood leads the eye to tinted and “SHELBY” branded glass that's flanked by small mirrors and aerodynamic C-pillar trim. At the base of that glass, a planar profile hangs black door handles and a body-matched fuel filler above straight Shelby stripes and pentastar-branded rocker extensions. And at the back of that profile, a dramatic Shelby spoiler frames clean tail lights, a full array of decklid emblems and an original dealer decal.

In their effort to improve the Charger, Shelby and Chrysler did not overlook the car's mechanicals. They tweaked the engine, milling the block 0.030 inches to raise compression to 9.6 to 1. They changed the camshaft timing by advancing the cam a few degrees. They also made modifications to the 2.2 liter's electronic controls to extract optimum performance. Consequently, the Shelby powerplant develops 13 more horsepower and 10 more lb./ft. of torque than the standard Omni mill. These enhancements, plus a lower final drive ratio, make the car a tick quicker than the standard Charger and its early '80s competition. Specifically, the Shelby has a 0 to 60 time of 10 seconds flat and a 117MPH top speed. The engine compartment in this L-Body is mostly original and in great condition. And, decked in black and blue, it's as serious looking as the rest of the car, with just a hint of color here and there to add both texture and contrast.

Shelby Chargers came standard with an A525 5-speed that feeds the front wheels. Holding that tossable drivetrain off the ground is an original Special Sports Suspension that utilizes shorter springs, stiffer shocks and correct power front disc and rear drum brakes to both lower the car and improve already responsive handling. At the center of that chassis, an original single-pipe exhaust system snakes spent gases through a factory-correct muffler. At the corners of that chassis, original 'pizza' wheels spin original 195/50R15 Goodyear Eagle GTs around locking lug nuts. And, still dressed in most of its blue overspray, this Charger is a clean, fully sorted survivor that's ready to hit the road as soon as it rolls out of our showroom!

This coupe's tri-tone cockpit, which nicely complements its 2-tone exterior, shows hardly any signs of wear. The reclining seats keep you as comfortable for quick blasts of speed as they do during long road trips. In front of the driver, a pliable dash, which shows zero defects, is packed full of gauges that work exactly as they should. At the center of that dash, you'll find a correct AM/FM stereo. Between the aforementioned seats, crack-free consoles prop a black shifter on gray carpet that's protected by carpeted and color-keyed floor mats. At the sides of that carpet, factory door panels, which are typically faded and ballooned from heat, look good-as-new. And when you open the car's hatch, you'll find a clean cargo area that's showroom fresh in virtually every way.
