1989 Dodge Dakota Shelby RARE FIND ORIGINAL #1059 OF 1475 PRODUCED NO RESERVE !

Description

TheShelbyDakotawas a limited-production performance version of theDodge DakotaSportpickup truck. Offered by Shelby for 1989 only, it was his firstrear wheel drivevehicle in many years.

The Shelby Dakota started with a short-wheelbase, short-bed, standard-cab pickup. The3.9L V6was removed in favor of the company's5.2L V8withthrottle-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 5hp (3.7kW) up (to 175hp) but torque was 270ft⋅lbf (370N⋅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, except for the Dodge Li’l Red Express Truck, and would set the stage for later factory efforts like theGMC SycloneandFord Lightning. Total Production: 1475. 480 in white and 995 in red. 1 was made in two-tone with red below the stripe and white above the stripe. List price was $15,813 plus freight.
