Four Brand New Shelby Dodges for Sale
Allpar alerted us to four Dodge Shelbys for sale on eBay. Why the big deal? They are all unused! Stored from day one and never registered, they include an ’87 Shelby Lancer, an ’89 Shelby Dakota and two Shelby CSXs, an ’87 and an ’89. Do that with the proper cars and it could be a great investment. Not sure about this lot getting $120,000.00 though. Not helping matters are skimpy photos and a CSX is missing. Follow the eBay bidding here. More pics after the jump!

Ultra Low Mileage Dodges at Auction
Four ultra low mileage 80’s Dodge vehicles went across the block at a recent Mecum auction. The tem “low mileage” may be misleading. The 1987 Daytona has just 22 miles, the 1986 Lancer has 28 miles, the 1988 Colt Vista wagon has 41 miles, and the high mileage (for this group) 1984 Mini Ram conversion van has a whopping 71 miles! While they’re not Hemi ‘Cudas or Superbirds, these time capsules are still somewhat intriguing. Find more info at Hemmings. More pics after the jump!
