I've never seen one.. rolling down the road.

Always in junk yards for some reason.
 
Yea... I'm not sure why I like it...*shrugs*
 
this is one of the reasons the mirage is not called the lancer in the US until 2002. take note.
 
I have infact seen one of these. Likewise i've never seen it in motion, but it sits at the community center in my town. i haven't been there in a long time, but if i do i'll see if i can catch the guy who owns it leaving and ask him about it. 175, shit thats not bad for a little car like that. could be built if you wanted to. I believe the body was used for a shitty little car ford put out in the 80s. A kid i knew had a hatch version. Said the Mustang body kits would fit it, but i can't remember for the life of me what it was called. Sorry, guess i kinda fail. Nice ass lookin car though. Confused the shit outta me the first time I saw it. I was a little stoopider than i am now, and i saw the factory lancer vinyl it had on it and i was like "Say what?? A mitsu that looks like a ford? that doesn't make any damn sense. they're dodge's bitches!" I wouldnt mind having one, but it definitely wouldn't be my first pic for a shelby.
 
my $.02, someone would have to offer me $10k + that car for my CRX. i mean the shelby is obv. in great shape but....it lacks the style and sport of the rex. :shrug2:


ps it is not rational how much i :wub: my rex :D
 
I would probably pass on this car for the simple fact that if something broke or needed replaced, I probably wouldn't be able to get parts for it. You can get parts for a Honda everywhere.
 
Shelby GLHS > Shelby Lancer. That thing weighs over 3000lbs.

Collector car? Maybe. Turd? Definitely.
 
You're all too young to appreciate this car. It's actually a phenomenal car. They used to be pretty common - I think 5000 of them were made. This makes it a monthly sight back in the 80s.

The car wasn't that special though - It was during a chrysler crisis - where Shelby just put his name on it. But the bra on the front tells me that the bumper is fucked.
