I'm here for the GLHS goodness!!! I have GLHS #754 as well as a standard 87 Shelby (non-GLHS). I've seen/read about the elusive red GLHS for a while now. I'm excited to see this thing come alive!
Ahhh! Nice! This one caused quite a stir on the turbododge.com forum where we found part of the cars history. www.turbododge.com/threads/the-red-glhs.56592/page-4
We used to own this exact car #941! My husband did a lot of work and is the one who put in the Mopar Stage 2 computer into it. But seeing its condition when you purchased it definitely is heartbreaking. Thank you for seeing its beauty and saving it. ❤️
OMG!!! I did some major digging and found your husband's facebook page. Tried to send a request, but I don't think I could and also tried to send a private message! I would love to get in touch with either or both of you sometime!
I remember seeing these on the road on a daily basis back in the 80s my childhood. Not easy finding these in the best condition. God I want a classic myself.
Great project car. I've owned a GLHS for over 20 years now. The condition of mine was very similar to yours when I bought the car. I would check the forward frame rails for corrosion. I had to replace both of them along with the forward floorboards. Hopefully they are ok, but it can be a trouble area for these cars. Good luck, I'm really looking forward to seeing the restoration!
That's a cool car I had a 1986 Shelby Charger in the 90's it was blue and grey and such a fun car to drive it was all stock and back then there was not much info on the performance side but it was still awesome. I have always wanted to get another one of them if I could find one in good shape. Anyway that's a cool car and can't wait to see you get it going.
Awesome car congratulations! I’m glad it’s found a good home. With a little work you’ll have a reliable fun car that’s a blast to drive. I’ve been into these cars since they were new, and still enjoy driving them. They’re just fun!! I own a 86 GLHS, 86 Shelby Charger with the old DC intercooler kit, and a 88 Shelby Z. The turbo Dodge Community is a great group of people. Welcome ;)
Nice no car like a Mopar should be fun i have a little 15 Ford fiesta ST and i love it broke lots of heart with a much bigger budget i have a 83 d150 stepside SE Royal Dodge Ram pickup that is not stock and lots of fun God bless from Canada eh Mopar mean old Plymouth's are rad!!!
I had one of these. Blew the head gasket, coolant went into the oil and wiped out the bearings in the turbo too. About a $2k to repair back in the day. A fast and fun little car!
I had a Plymouth Horizon back in the early 90's. I think it was '84 or '85 and blew a head gasket. Was going to cost $500+ to fix it and didn't have the money at the time, so it went to a scrap yard eventually.
Its a Turbo 1 car. I would not have an intercooler. You have a draw trough intake setup meaning the throttle body is mounted on the inlet side of the compressor housing. Plenty of intake manifolds out there if you would like to add the intercooler.
Grate Project car, I watched your post and quit intrigued. I am cleaning house and have several part you may need, one sun roof still in roof, one rear window louver use only summer of 85, one rear window Shelby with original decals in tack . I am looking for the radiator Intercooler Assembly and the two-piece Intake and new Inter cooler in and out hoses they may be in the trailer, no other place left for parts. If you are in need of any of these parts I will watch for a reply I have 3 Cars One 85 GLH I bought new it has 38,600 miles on it was Auto-X from 85 to 91 Been in storage one 66 Charger My currant Auto Cross Car one 59 Belvedere Next project car
This car is definitely intriguing! We did post a video of the parts we do have. Unfortunately it’s been so cold lately here in Ohio and no heat in the garage makes it hard to move forward right now.
i think my glhs came with black rear window louvers too, the real thing all the way thru, be aware that computers may log it in as an ,..86 model,i had so much trouble with chrysler,an computer not matching, i think its really a late year 1986...
and a manual/ book with it,and a way for 300 horsepower, mopar 60 or whatever it was, you must give it posi though, unless you like tire smoke an,...torque steer, mine was real,an numbers matching etc...
Nice Stealth... Those are cool little cars, I prefer the Shelby Omni. You could possibly put a moon/sunroof back in it. Didn't those cars have luvers on the back window?
The stealth is his and it’s a twin turbo! That thing is fun as hell too!! As far as putting a sunroof in, I have one on my daily and NEVER use it! 😂 It’s just so loud!
they came from shelby chargers like 1985 or 86 with 146 horse power.....they weighy 2483 pounds....omni is lighter an set records running 14.40,s an charger would do high 14,s no good for drag racing unless changed to rear wheel drive traction, posi,i found out, torque steer is the pits...
We did a quick search last night and apparently those had the turbo1 in them not the turbo 2. We will follow up on that in the next installment. Stay tuned.

This is going to be a lot of fun, I can't wait for you to get the Charger(ette) going!
Thank you!! I'm excited as well!!
I’m pumped for this project!
Welcome aboard and thanks for the support!
Good Luck with it 👍👍💪💪 it'll be a Badass little toy when you get finished with it 🙂👍👍💪💪
It should be fun! I mean, It's a 5 speed manual with a turbo!

Love these cars , I owned 2 83 shelby chargers and my first and only new car I have ever bought new was an 83 tourismo 2.2.
Glad u are saving this car.
We are too! Excited to get it moving!
That's an awesome little car!
Thank you! Can’t wait to see what she does!

We can’t wait either! Hopefully it won’t be too much of a headache!
Liked, subscribed (no. 128) and will eagerly watch this build. Wishing you much success in your channel.
Thank you very much!

Great find! Love the GLHS!
There's more history on this car that we do know of, and a lot that we don't! So more history to come!
Nice to see you giving it a go on your own channel. Luv watching you on Lucore Auto. Oh I like Rich and Austin as well
Thank you! I fought it long enough and finally relented! We will see how it goes!

Love those little Chargers...
I vaguely remember these on the road back in the day!
Finally an American Car thats " England Sized " like the Capri ! Yey !!!
Good Luck with this one !

It is a 2.2 Turbo! with the Mopar performance computer
Really neat car!
Thank you!’

Thanks for the follow and the support!
Even better. I have 2 of those Lil girl dawgs
Our girl is a Min Pin Doxie mix. Little dog with big dawg attitude!
Give a big shout-out to SRC garage I love the old man

@@73chargerchic4 o cool
@@Sercumference search Mommas mopar for all the vids on my 73 Charger 400BB 451 stroker build.
The 4 cylinder with proper modifications in that light weight car will be awesome.
First problem with it is that it does not have the original engine either. That is a non-AC Turbo I engine.
Had an 86 Daytona Turbo Z. Put nearly 300k miles on that car! I know these engines quite well…
Wow! That’s awesome!!
I want to see the build on this very much!
Well stay tuned. We are doing research right now!
So what is glhs about it, no Shelby valve cover, no speedometer that was in the glhs. Looks like a regular Shelby with glhs stickers on it.
I would recommend Watching the second video. It gives the backstory and the proof. We do a tour of the car inside and out.
an yes i been driving dakota r/t 18 years....
Curious why my posts about the SDAC were deleted?
I haven’t deleted anything. I did see it.
I have also had an issue where I will respond two times to a comment and my comment doesn’t show.
Katrina, your never going get that charger into the 10’s buying more cars!

Not going crazy like “someone” I know!! I promise!

The key will open the hatch
We did not see a keyhole on the outside, but did find a release inside the car, but it wouldn't work.
2.2 turbo 1 engine. Not the turbo 2 engine.
We did a quick search last night and apparently those had the turbo1 in them not the turbo 2. We will follow up on that in the next installment. Stay tuned.
What reference did you use, I started at a dodge dealership as a tech in 88. And I'm pretty sure the turbo 2 was standard engine in that model for 87
