Carroll Shelby's Unlikely Euro Fighter - The Dodge Shelby Charger

Video Description

In this Rare Cars documentary, we are covering probably what is one of the most overlooked American Cars ever made - the Dodge Shelby Charger. These cars were an 80s expose for Chrysler to reinvent themselves with a performance car edge thanks to the help of Carroll Shelby. Shelby would work to turn the Dodge Omni-based Charger into his own affordable yet compact sports car that was built to punch up at the Porsche 924 and Volkswagen Golf GTIs of the period. And while often overlooked - the Shelby Charger was for the period a real performance bargain!
