The above photos are the most recent (April 08) of my '87 GLHS,number 0693 of 1000 built, bought with 29,000 miles on the clock. It has been in England since '91 when it was imported from Pennsylvania. I am the fourth owner (third in England) where it had covered only 9,000 miles. It is immaculate and is complete stock - apart from a K&N air filter. The vehicle is now my daily driver. I have owned this car since October '05 and have all the original Pennsylvania Title, Dodge Dealer invoice from Jim Sarvas,(in Sharon, PA), owner's manual and Shelby Warranty cards.
This vehicle runs strong and is a blast to drive getting the looks wherever she is driven.

This photo above was taken before I bought her in Portsmouth, Oct 05.
The front indicators have been modified for English law - we aren't allowed orange running lights - so these have been split to white lights and orange indicators. But as you can see in one of the first four shots on this page - I've wired up the orange running lights back up. I'll have to change them back for its yearly safety inspection though!

These three shots above were taken at HMS Sultan, near Portsmouth.

Look at correct angle and you can see the number 0693 on the plaque.

The interior condition reflects that of the exterior.

The rear lights have been modified to pass European laws - orange indicators/hazard lights, and rear high density foglight (in the right hand cluster in leau of the back up light). European laws states that the car must be fitted with at least one foglight and one back up light.

Both vehicles turn heads, and are a rare sight here in England, I believe in total there are two GLHSs across this side of the pond - mine and #622 - up in Lincolnshire which has it's own page on Cardomain under ''87 Chargers'. (Unless I am proven otherwise)and four SCs. 0693 is the only driveable one in England.

Below is the GLHS with its old garage buddy my '87 Dodge Shelby Charger which I have now sold.

The start of the show prior to most of the other vehicles turning up.

Moved to a better position later in the day, but that damn Rustang (the Wife's) still followed!

WOW!!! That's about all I can say. What a SUPER clean "S". Great job keeping it that way man. Keep it up. You've got one of(if not THE), best GLHS's I've yet to see. It's like the ads and commercials they used to run in 1987!!! Great car! 5 starts all day long!

Ever think about selling this one? I'm in the market for a new GLHS. I sold mine#309 like an idiot! If you DO know of one for sale, please lead me to it. Condition matters not. Thanks.
