    Cool Shadow's 92

    Hello 3sgto, I've been wanting to do a build thread for the last few months but haven't gotten around to it. We' haven't had a good camera but I bought the wifey one for Christmas so now I can document my work a little better!

    It all began many years ago. As a kid I grew up in a all mopar family. Nothing else was ever acceptable. The Stealth was my dream car as a kid. I still remember my grandfather talking about these supercars.

    Roughly 2 years ago my cousin MC#4 bought a N/A RT with a bad automatic transmission in it. He owns a nice garage and buys and fixes cars for a profit. Up till this point I had never seen a black Stealth. Everything I seen had the black lights and roof or was just a es or base model. He ended up swapping out the ATX for a MTX. I knew at that point I wanted that car! I put my Dakota up for sale and snatched up the Stealth RT within a few weeks.

    Paid $2800 for it with just over 110k.



    After owning it for a year or so I decide to run it up at the 1/4 mile track. My cousin @ this time had a little dodge shadow with NOS. The stealth ran a 15.6 and well..it was faster then the shadow

    A few days later My cousin buys a white 92 RT/TT with another bad tranny in it for $3100. (guess he had to be faster)



    The very next day I stumbled across a craigslist ad for a 92 RT/TT for $2000. It was black, almost identical to the one I owned already.

    Bone stock, 6 hours away, sent the guy a message and asked him if it'd make it the 6 hour drive home. He said "I have no idea, the car has been sitting for over a year" I told him I'd make the trip and buy it site unseen if he'd do it for $1700. He took the offer. I drove 6 hours there. Once we got there had no way of transferring the title over.

    We wrote up a bill of sale and had it notarized and I drove that car all the way home with no license plate, inspection, or anything! 1/2 way home we had a tire blowout. There we sit along a 4 lane highway trying to change out a tire. on a highly illegal car.

    We made it home!

    Now the fun stuff begins!
