That's pretty awesome for 400 bucks.
Off I go again...."Tires need replaced". Know what else needs replaced? An additional verb from your sentence!

Ok, I really want to know why there is such a surplus of cool cars for cheap in GA. I'm not kidding here. I'm in MI and I know a car like that rotted out here a decade ago, but there are thousands of cities in the U.S. below the rust belt. Yet you only see the cool cars in GA.

No kidding. When I read that in my head, I get the sound of two locomotives colliding between the words "needs" and "replaced."

I knew a guy that spoke like that. I punched him in the mouth everytime, in my head.

It's a mid-west thing I think. My brother-in-law and wife are mid-westerners and they talk like that...it drives me nuts!!

And yes, I know GA is not in the mid-west, just saying that the guy is probably from the mid-west. Thought I should clarify. :-)

Glad that's not conveniently close enough to go look at.
I don't know why, but I've always kinda liked those caras. Especially when you combine the parts onto a Rampage.

How do you tell if it is a real Shelby?

Mid-westerners don't talk like that.

Combination of perfect climate for preserving cars, a culture that doesn't want anything to do with anything that ain't a Ford or a Chebby pickemup, and a high concentration of GRMers (who are on the lookout) = an apparent glut of cool cars in GA (particularly Atl).
Not too much if you are interested in Subarus- Pacific NW.
Atlanta is a Northern city (culturally) in the South. Some people buy cool stuff there (new), but when it is worn, they move on to the next cool thing. The used market (poorer people) has no interest in this stuff (they want trucks), so the price drops.
Doesn't hurt to have a few nutjobs like DukeofUndersteer, poopshovel, and fastasleep living in the Atl area who are always feeding weird E36 M3 to this forum.

They aren't. They are like "Shelby" Mustangs, just a sticker/option package applied at the factory. In 89 the Daytona ES and Daytona Shelby were very similar. The differences?
Shelby will have Shelby decals and a 2.2L intercooled turbo (black valve cover and intake, intercooled nestled next to the radiator)
ES will have the 3.0V6 or the 2.5L turbo (silver intake and valve cover)
There were some suspension tuning differences, but not much really that you'd want to keep on a project car anyway.
They can both be optioned very similarly, but the Shelby's typically had everything, including power and leather.

My girlfriend wants a 89 Shelby Daytona since that is her birth year and her name is Shelby.

89 is probably one of the better years for turbo dodges. The intercooled ones seem to usually have bad rod bearings, but the 2.5 of the same year is common and doesnt have that problem as much it seems.
