Be redone over the years. new paint. decals. wheels restoed. new center caps. original bed liner is great shape all Shelby items there and intact. only issue is dash has 2 small spots where the PO tried to fix a crack. One is lower drivers side. and can't really be seen and the other is in the pass shelf corner which is very common. The outside is a 9. 0/10 with the exception of the hood decal has some minor fraying at edges. and the light bar has some waviness in the fiberglass on top side. I bought it with the intention to use. but is was so nice I just kept it in the garage and never drove it. This needs to go to a good home with a Shelby lover who will enjoy more than I. The Shelby Dakota was a limited-production performance version of the Dodge Dakota Sport pickup truck. Offered by Shelby for 1989 only. it was his first rear wheel drive vehicle in many years. The Shelby Dakota started with a short-wheelbase. short-bed. standard-cab pickup. The 3. 9 L V6 was removed in favor of the company's 5. 2 L V8 with throttle-body injection. On paper. the swap looked simple since both engines were similar. but the tight space in the Dakota's engine compartment meant removing the engine-driven fan in front and using electric ones instead. Removing the belt-driven fan increased the stock 5. 2L V8's output by 5 hp (3. 7 kW) up (to 175 hp) but torque was 270 ft·lbf (370 N·m). Special wheels and trim. as well as individually numbered dash plaques proclaimed the car's heritage. At the time. it was the highest-performing pickup truck in existence. and would set the stage for later factory efforts like the GMC Syclone and Ford Lightning. Total Production: 1475. 480 in white and 995 in red.
