Vehicle Description
Step back into the 1980s with this 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger Turbo,
a car that exemplifies the unique partnership between Carroll
Shelby and Dodge. This collaboration aimed to transform Dodge's
compact car lineup into performance-driven icons, and the Shelby
Charger Turbo became one of its most exciting achievements.
Built on the Dodge Omni platform, the Shelby Charger first appeared
in 1983 and underwent steady refinement over the years. By 1987, it
was powered by a turbocharged 2.2L inline 4 engine producing an
impressive 174 horsepower. Paired with a five speed manual
transmission, this lightweight hatchback delivered exhilarating
performance and precision handling, rivaling European hot hatches
of the time.
The striking Burgundy over Silver two tone paint scheme perfectly
captures the bold styling of the era, while the car's low mileage
of 51124 miles showcases its careful preservation. Inside, the grey
leather interior with cloth inserts reflects the sporty nature of
the car. The embroidered headrests add a unique touch that pays
homage to the Shelby legacy. The factory installed sunroof enhances
the driving experience, bringing an extra sense of openness to
every journey.
As one of the final Shelby branded Dodge vehicles before Shelby
returned to his partnership with Ford, the 1987 Shelby Charger
Turbo represents a key moment in automotive history. Its completely
stock configuration ensures that it remains a time capsule of 1980s
performance innovation, making it highly appealing to collectors
and enthusiasts alike.
Owning this Shelby Charger Turbo is an opportunity to celebrate the
creativity and vision that Carroll Shelby brought to Dodge. This
car stands as a testament to a fascinating era in performance car
history and delivers a driving experience as unique as its
backstory.
