5k: Jennered: 1987 Shebly CSX

The Shelby CSX was a Carroll Shelby hot rodded version of the Dodge Shadow that added a high power engine, stiffer springs/shocks, Shelby specific interior, and Shelby fiberglass composite wheels to what was otherwise an abysmal front driver economy car.  The CSX was meant to be a fun car for a twisty road or a track day, so this one, like all CSXs, was only available with a 5-speed manual gearbox.  However, this next CSX has pulled a bit of a Bruce Jenner.  Its had its transmission swapped into a stickless version and now its setup for the 1/4 mile sprint.  Find this 1987 Shebly CSX here on eBay currently bidding for $3,550 reserve-not-met with 1 day to go and buy-it-now of $5,999 located in Tomball, TX.
