I brought this car for $300.00. It was sitting in a yard. I was told the the engine caught on fire a year earlier. It was sitting since that time. Three of the six spark plug wires were burnt off. But when I try to start it, It turn over on the first crank. But I turn it off quickly. I brought new plugs and wires. Start it again, she purr. Drove it home. Got it tune, oil change, air filter and put new tires on it. I have done little to it. Needed valve cover gaskets. The car runs great. No other problems with it. I drive it to work and all over town. It still turns heads. Body is in good shape. Next a paint job. by the way it eat any 4cyl. car out there. Great on gas!!

I've owned a 1988 Daytona Shelby Z since new-got it the day before Thanksgiving, 1987)-and 4 years ago found a 1990 Daytona ES with a 3.0 V6. It only had 70,000 miles and looked great, automatic with ac. So along with my Shelby, now I have two Daytona's, and they both look and run great inspite of being over/under 30 years old. The 3.0 is a good engine with lots of torque, but the valve seals are a well-known problem so frequent oil changes help the smoking issues they are known for-it handles great, gets comments (hardly ever see one of these anymore), and mine are garaged and driven mostly for pleasure. both are bright red, the Shelby has leather interior and the ES has cloth, both are 4 wheel disk brakes (pretty modern back in the late 80's) and they are fairly easy to work on and maintain. If you can find one, they are a lot of fun.

i got mine for 300 from a really nice friend and i got it painted black with 2 yellow racing stripes rebuilt the engine and added some horses to it. the only reason i rebuilt the enngine was for the bad valve seals the car sat in one spot for like 5 years and even after that with a new battery it started right up but with lots of smoke i love this car its so fun they never have any problems that ive noticed after you work on them a little bit thats not even needed most of the time i just have lots of time to do stuff with it

Daytona's are the best car ever made, if investing in a high school student car this is the one...easy to fix.
