1982-84 Shelby Turbo Rampage TII
A concept by Shelby in the early ’80’s. Code Name Streetfighter
http://www.allpar.com/omni/rampage/index.html
New Paint-base clear with decals.
Custom Ground Effects.
Shelby Etched back glass
New head gasket, Struts, Front end bushings, Brakes, alignment etc.
5 spd trans works great and it is a blast to drive.
All glass removed and car was painted, New window belt mouldings,.
The Custom Fiberglass bed cap is one of a kind.
This car was built to never be sold.
In addition a newly painted black and silver color matched topper is included. Professional restored wheels and New tires with 200 miles on them.
Turbo works great. Car is very snappy.
This is a conversion. The front of a Turbo Charger to the back of a rampage. Very slick. . Mechanically in very good condition. Fuel System is set for high pressure needs of Turbo. First time offered.
The FRONT half of a turbo Charger mated to the BACK half of a rampage. If you have ever tried to turbo a non-turbo car it is a ton of work. the wiring and body plugs/popouts are very different not to mention the turbo stuff. It made more sense in this case since we were going for a turbo Rampage to just start with a turbo Charger and mate it to the back of a rampage across the floor. In a sense it was like building a street rod. Nonetheless it was a MAJOR undertaking with thousands of hours. This is not some backyard highschool Bevis and Butthead project. The paint is show quality with two blemishes.
To re-clarify this was a major project… The car is titled as a Dodge Charger. A turbo Dodge Charger was used… 5 lug front end and back end. Done right and done very strong. Again titled as a Dodge Charger. No this is not one of the Shelby built cars. This one was made to look and act just like one of the street fighter cars.
