☕ The Last True Frontier: The 1989 Shelby CSX Sales Brochure and 1987 Magazine Ad
When Carroll Shelby teamed up with Chrysler to build the ultimate pocket rocket on the P-body hatchback platform, he didn’t just add a ground effects kit—he built a historic, high-tech engineering marvel that rewrote the rulebook on turbocharging. This print-to-order ceramic mug combines the rare factory graphics, bold typography, and technical layout from the official 1989 Shelby CSX and Shelby Dakota prestige sales folder endorsed by Ol’ Shel himself.
The custom wrap is a certified goldmine for 80s Turbo Dodge purists, archiving the exact moment Shelby went all-out for his final Dodge-based production car. The blueprint layout proudly features the world’s first production vehicle equipped with a Garrett Variable Nozzle Turbo (VNT) strapped to a intercooled 2.2L Turbo IV inline-four. This computer-controlled setup completely eliminated turbo lag by adjusting internal turbine vanes on the fly, feeding a brutal 175 horsepower and 205 lb-ft of torque straight to a heavy-duty Getrag A555 5-speed manual transaxle.
Look closely at the high-resolution graphic lines to catch all the ultra-rare P-body specifics detailed across the national dealer ad (of the 1987 CSX).
From the signature Kaminari Aerodynamics ground effects package down to the revolutionary, lightweight 15-inch gold “Fiberride” carbon-composite fiberglass wheels—another industry first that predated modern carbon fiber wheels by decades. Complete with Carroll Shelby’s introduction text, original list-pricing grids, and the bold “Exotic Red” paint callouts, this mug is a premium homage to No. 1 through 500 of the ultimate Shelby pocket rocket ever cast.
