Junkyard Find: 1994 Dodge Shadow ES

You still see some of these cars on the street these days, though hit-bottom-years-ago resale values mean that a running Chrysler P is becoming semi-rare sight. I think the low-buck Shadow America and Sundance America are interesting enough to photograph, as is the Sundance Duster, but most of the time I just tune out the Ps when I see them during junkyard expeditions. The Shadow ES, with its goofy 80s-hangover tape graphics, manages to attract my attention, so let's admire the exquisitely of-its-timeness of this '94 that I spotted in Denver a couple months ago.

Look, 20 years old and not faded or cracked!

Grab the turbo hardware off a wrecked Stealth, experience the joys of Xtreem Torque Steer®.
