Story

1987 Dodge Shelby Charger

The 1987 Shelby Charger family combined two-door five-passenger hatchback coupe with 1987 Shelby Charger GLH-S configurations. This page keeps those factory choices together without treating an engine, stripe, badge, or trim package as a separate car identity.

Engines and transmissions

Turbo II engine, intercooler, injection, transaxle, GLH-S chassis, body, graphics, cabin, numbered identity, dates, and records must agree. Transmission, induction, cooling, exhaust, axle, emissions equipment, and dates must match the selected engine path.

Chassis and brakes

The GLH-S program paired its intercooled Turbo II engine with a five-speed transaxle, program-specific chassis, wheels, tires, aero equipment, graphics, numbered identity, and cabin trim. Brake, steering, spring, damper, axle, ratio, wheel, and tire equipment varied by configuration and must be reconciled to factory and car-specific records.

Body, trim, and proof

Start with VIN or serial, body tag, title, shell, and ownership history. Then reconcile drivetrain, chassis, protected finish, cabin, trim, dates, and records. Replaceable badges, stripes, wheels, or a swapped engine cannot establish factory configuration.

Still Researching

production No reviewed public ledger reconciles 1987 Shelby Charger production by body, model, engine, transmission, axle, paint, trim, options, plant, date, and surviving-car status.
paint colors Reviewed references establish representative factory colors but not a complete body, trim, stripe, special-order, plant, and build-date compatibility matrix.
interior Broad cabin equipment is documented, but the complete upholstery color, material, body, option, and production-date matrix is not publicly reconciled.
authenticity markers Public model references cannot prove one survivor's born-with shell, drivetrain, chassis components, paint, trim, options, or component dates.
