That black Daytona in the background is mine!!!!

Exactly what John said about remembering the car from when we were young. That's why I'm watching this video.

I had an 85 turbo. when it ran, it ran great! most of the time I spent my days fixing the damn thing, but i must say i got my mechanical skills because of this car 👌🏼

Nice! This car is super clean. You can tell alot of TLC went into the restoration. I've always liked this body style on the Daytona. Thanks for sharing it, Lou!

This particular edition had 175 hp, but I had 1 in the Army and was a mechanic in the Army. All my buddies in my unit had various go fast cars at the time also from Mustangs, Iroc Camaros to Starions. But this Shelby could be tweaked to put out up to 300 hp with the right mods. I tweaked mine to around 230hp and it beat everything back then except the Grand national & Syclone truck.

Stunning with that red interior. These are my favorite of the Daytonas. What a looker!

Very nice car! Clean like it just rolled out of the showroom. Thanks for sharing Lou!

More late 80s early 90s turbo cars! Great video!

The exhaust sound great. Lou thanks for sharing this car. John did an excellent job at restoring the Dodge Daytona Shelby's engine bay, exterior, and interior.

What a beautiful example of the Daytona Shelby!! Glad to see he's kept it so nice. And the fact that he added the intercooler is a nice touch!

Nice! That engine sound reminds me of the '84 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe I used to have...and wish I still did. Thanks for sharing!

Love the Red and Red leather . The IROC Z and Corvette always used that color combo .

Outstanding little Dodge! Love the colors inside and out and it sounded healthy for a single exhaust and a four cylinder. That 2.5 litre was a great engine a take off from the previous 2.2 litre which I had both of. I had a 1991 Plymouth Acclaim with the motor this has and it was a great peppy motor. It ideled smoother than the 2.2. He had a awesome little machine there! Love the options too! T.tops or a sunroof would really set that off! I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing this with us Lou!!

I had an 89 Shelby. Miss that car like crazy. Dodge should have never canceled it.

Very nice example.great job .thank you for showing it.

Lou I remember these cars in the 1980s. Pretty sporty car! You don’t see these at shows too often. Nice car.

If you've never ridden in one of these, you'd be damn surprised how fast they actually are. My friend had 1990 in a 5 speed that would pin you to the seat. He went to Abilene, Texas to buy it in 1993. I had just gotten home from work, 5:15pm. I wanted to see how the car buying went, so I called him at 530 at his mothers house. He was a few minutes away from pulling out of her driveway. At 6:40PM he pulled into the parking lot of our apartments in Arlington, Texas. 1hr and 10 minutes, 150 miles.

Deadpan delivery from the owner belies genuine enthusiasm for his car. The lowly power output was a surprise and is at odds with the words “Shelby”, “Turbo” and “Dodge”, but I’m betting it goes well enough when the turbo kicks in. Thanks for showing a car I’ve never seen before.

It's really nice to see you do videos on cars that are so different from typical videos you would normally see. I wish someone would do a video on the Iroc Daytona race cars.

What an oddity a turbo Daytona 1991 I remember them when they were new 👍

I absolutely loved this generation Daytonas with the hidden headlights! I was in high school during these years and I had a friend who had one of these. The Carroll Shelby option package was seriously expensive compared to the regular Daytona. They did have a Daytona Z that looked similar but WITHOUT the turbo if I'm not mistaken. I love when an owner restored a car that others would consider not worthy. I wish I had one of these cars. Honestly when was the last time you saw one of these cars on the road? What 15 years? They are rare.

Just bought myself a plain Jane 91 Daytona. No AC, no power doors, no nothing. Loving it so far, my first standard and a good car to learn on. Reminds me a lot of my first car, which was a 94 Dodge Spirit.

I had four Daytona’s from ‘86 to ‘91, all bought new. I’d love to have any one of them back.

I love it..I would love to get mine redone

Nice little Dodge! Pretty red, attractive design, love the look of the rear... the taillights are good lookin on it and the louvers really add to the style. I like the squumphy lookin seats and the ninja throwing star wheels best!! That engine..... music to my ears... ahhhh! Great vid, love it, thank u

Daytona is King!!! King of the road!!! And yes the black one in the back looks great too!

Owned an 85 shelby dodge charger. Had the turbo. That car was FUN!

Awesome Lou《☆》I remember having rented a Shelby Daytona Turbo and had fun experimenting with turbo boost launches. The front wheel drive K car platform is one reason why FCA is still making cars today. Hunter cop series on tv & Deede McCalls Daytona Yessir. Seems like the good guys drove Dodges on most of the old shows ☻

Love it

One of the Best design steering wheels of all times.

Awesome. I bought a new 1985.5 Chrysler laser xt turbo. Red with black interior . All digital and talked. That car got a ton of attention . Loved the turbo hiss . Driving through Oklahoma and no one on the road for miles and got up to 100mph and decided to go top speed . fun .

I was a Junior in HS in '91, and I remember a teacher had a Daytona. We (the car nuts) would sit by the window before the opening bell and wait for him to drive in. We all thought it was the hottest thing. It was just a regular Daytona, but it was the coolest to us. It was right up there with another teacher's Eagle Talon. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Had one as a Chrysler Field Car. Loved it. Loved J body Coupes and convts.

Chrysler or Stellantis now should use the Pentastar more these days, looks cool Sweet looking grandpa, looks like a nice guy

Love that bodystyle. I had an 88 Pacifica with the turbo 1 and 5 speed. Wish I had kept it. The hottest Daytona was the iroc r/t with the 225 horse turbo 3 2.2. My humble turbo 1 was a lotta fun.

Love the interior leather. Those seats look comfortably padded. Wish more seats had plush padding like that.

Haha the memories. My sister had the standard Daytona in high school. It was an 89. Brown in color. It had the run of the mill Chrysler K 2.5. It was a decent car, did its job. We used to laugh and say the car looked like it hated life when the headlights were in the popped open position. Between the front fascia "frown", and the design of the headlight doors (which gave the impression the vehicle was looking at the ground), the car looked depressed! 😂 She had it for several years into college before she wrecked it in NJ.

In 91 my dad was in the market for a Shelby Daytona 5 speed in black. Couldn't find 1. Loads of ES's and V6s with autos or turbo 1s. He finally got frustrated and special ordered a black on grey 92 Shelby Iroc turbo 2.5 5 speed , which took 7 months! to be delivered. This was right before they released the rare R/T. That 92 was a surprisingly good car with only the radio going out, otherwise just routine maintenance. He got rid of it after ten yrs and rust started to creep in. The featured car is really nice! Most were just abused and thrown away, Shelby name or not.

My first car was a 91 Daytona. I found out they had a turbo model and bought a 92 a few months later. Loved these cars.

As I've said before, my dad worked for Chrysler. This video inspired me to take another look at this car. I was eager to see what Chrysler would come up with on this car's debut. I was disappointed at that time because it looked too K-car like and including the dashboard which I didn't find sports car-like. I really like the 1992 Iroc Daytona with it's rounded door windows. The taillights were rounded too. Last but not least, the engine bay gets a nice red accented intercooled Turbo.

I had a closely related Shadow ES turbo (2.5L). Was a great car and the platform for the Shelby CSX. Wish I still had it. Love the Shelby Daytonas.

What a gorgeous car! Those 16" "Pumper" wheels look so good on these cars. I like the intercooler/radiator setup that he added. It probably makes 25+ more horsepower than stock. I sure miss my black 1991 Daytona Shelby.

Nice car 👍🏻

I always wanted one of these . Sweet car!

Nice car. I liked these in White with the neon 90's colors

These Shelby dodges are nice looking cars. It's nice to see a Shelby that isn't a mustang and they are so hard to find. I have a 87 and 89 CSX both if good shape. My plans are to completely restore them. Love this daytona.

Nice :)

I had a 91 Shelby Daytona 2.2 inter-cooled brand new. It was a very fun nice car to own. Never gave me a bit of trouble! Miss her nowadays. Wished I had kept it!

looking at an 84 daytona. im 21 and these cars are sick

I love Daytona’s.

Nice car...I had an 84 Plymouth Laser Gold and a 1988 Daytona all black back in the day...I use to be in love with these cars. I believe the last year made for the Daytona was 1992 which basically it had different headlight and tail light orientation. They had horrible engines and transmissions though....wasn't a week that went by where something wasn't going wrong.....finally the money poured in outweighed my love and I cut it loose!

my brother in law had the turbo lazer around the same year .for about a dollar fifty a T connector to a vacuum line nearly doubled the boost and it was not just messing with the gauges you would feel it .

Jet stream design. Love the owner. Look lil' rx-7.

I'm pretty sure the HP was still 174. That's what it had on the 88 Shelby Z.

What a nice looking car. The only reason I opted for the ‘90 Mustang GT was because it had more HP than the ‘90 Daytona Shelby. But the interior of the Daytona is just so much better than the Mustang. “Works for me”.

WOW my ex girlfriend( from 20 years ago) had 1 exactly like it ! I loved that car handled nice , ran pretty decent .... but wouldn't keep up with my 91 eagle talon TSI 😂 Thanks for the memories Lou !!!!

I had a 91 ES with the 3.0 and a 5 speed, economical, rode well, comfotable, handled great, fast, and good looking. Was a fun car that made you feel good to drive it for the reasionable price range, they need to make cars like that again. @chrysler

A nice looking car, should've race in Group A touring car.

152 hp but 210 pound feet of torque! The little turbo 2.2 kicked some ass!!

I currently own a 1990 dodge daytona. I also don't see many around...

My friend had one in highschool.He said the dealer refused to fix it again after replacing 2 exploded engines.Third blown engine had exposed pistons.Fast car ,but couldnt handle turbo+teenager.lol

One of my friends who worked in Prudho Bay AK bought one of these and he was notorious for killing cars. well it came with a hell of a warrenty and of course he beat the hell out of it but the only thing that broke was the rear end. Over and over until they quit fixing it hahaha. He got rid of it after that but it was a fun car.

That Daytona is in great shape! The red and black interior is pretty sweet. Does anybody know where to find interior and exterior parts to restore one of these things? I have a '91 ES in blue with a grey interior, V6, and 5 speed manual. It looks decent, but it needs some restoration. It's in great shape mechanically, especially since I replaced everything to do with engine mounting, suspension, brakes, ignition and fuel in the past few years lol. Super fun car though. Strong mid-range torque, great handling, impressive brakes (all discs), great transmission, and the most comfortable seats I've ever been in

If you wanted a more refined Daytona, from 1990 on, you could get the 3.0 mitsubishi v6.

They also had a 140hp V6, the Shelby Daytona was 175hp and it was a guaranteed 140mph car. Now the bad thing with these Shelby Daytonas was if you overheated it, it would blow the head gaskets. A truely wonderful car. This and the Ford Probe LX w/ the 3.8L V6 are the 2 of a few cars from the late 80s and early 90s that I wished I could own today. Aye next find a gen 1 Probe LX for a video, you might like the car

This is an 88 or 89, 91s were Iroc z's by that point. Different body style & engine.

I had the non turbo version in highschool in 2011 and then wrecked it sadly. Slid through a intersection while raining.

I love all Daytona’s but I just don’t care for that style dash That car is a beautiful specimen by the way

Fantastic car!! The american way to do a japanese coupe!!! We have cars like this on Brasil, manufatured by Miura, a local company that made special cars in fiberglass. Was the most desired cars in 80's. Miura Saga 1986 was the most beauty.

IROC raced these and Dale Earnhardt won a IROC championship with these.

I liked this car, but the Starion/Conquest was more appealing…. for some reason, the space between the rear seats always REALLY bothered me.

Get a non-Shelby and do a V8 conversion. 😁 Saw a VERY clean one running a stroker 360/727 combo. Looked like it came that way from the factory.

nice car. still prefer the 4 doors

Mine is the same except window tinted, 1 of 99.

2.5T 152 hp, 2.2T 174 and 2.2T dohc 222hp

Had same car xactlly

I owned a 88 Shelby. It was quick, I rebuilt the engine after cooking the head gasket. It was the most unreliable car I ever owned.

The entire in the 1980s and early 1990s the word crap Was spelled with Precise title but the letters K. The Dodge Daytona/Chrysler laser Where parenthesis the and reliable And over complicated Chrysler K cars. When I was a little kid my much older sister had a boyfriend with a brand new Dodge Daytona Shelby. It looked exactly like this 1. Even when it was brand new there was always something electronically wrong with the Car. One of the most dangerous things it Would do Is suddenly lock up the brakes while driving CA at highway speeds. It was an issue that apparently happened quite frequently but Chrysler never had a fix for it.

SOHC engine?

He isn't too talkative now is he?

Thank God I bought a Mustang Gt instead

Great car, but your audio stinks. Aside from the wind noise, your interview sounds more like a police interrogation. John didn't look very comfortable with the questions.

I had the 1985 Dodge Charger, a very similar car and that thing was the biggest piece of crap. You don’t see these on the roads today because they were throw away junk cars.

I was thinking... Hey cool. Then I saw it was an automatic transmission 🤷🏼‍♂️

These cars were great...in theory. The reality was that they were one of the most unreliable, poorly engineered cars ever made. It’s shocking to see one that still runs, quite frankly.

Fwd seems kinda lame....

Love it
