I'll let Ray give you the story behind his cherished Dodge...

"This is my 1985 Dodge Shelby Charger. 2.2 turbo with a 5-speed manual transmission. The production numbers are as follows 7,709 Shelby Chargers produced in '85, with 3,846 being made in the Black/Silver combo. This car has remained stock but has had an engine rebuild, rebuilt transmission, new paint/stripes, new tires/ brakes, and a new headliner installed."

"I had the pleasure of owning a 1986 Shelby Charger when I got out of high school in the same color combo. I missed that car ever since, and swore I'd find another one day. Luckily, I finally did and it was ironically where I grew up 45 minutes south in my home city of St. Petersburg Florida."
