WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK ?

the 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger GLH-S was faster than a 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 in some performance aspects. 

The GLH-S could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 6.5 seconds, while the GT350 took roughly 6.6 seconds. 

The GLH-S also had a slightly higher top speed, reaching 135 mph compared to the GT350's 130+ mph.

Roy,
I assume you were @ Willow when the GLHS 'ringers' were there, right?

I'm sure this is gonna be considered slightly off-topic to some people but I can't imagine anybody here, particularly for the money wanting this car in 1987 instead of a 1987 LX 5.0
And the LX would've saved you some pocket change

Yeah, but the LX is NOT a Shelby.......

Two cars I would have bought in 1987 (IF I had the money back then):
A-1987 Buick Grand National.
B-1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.
