I am selling my 1989 Dodge Dakota Sport convertible. As you probably know, they only produced about 3,700 of them in 3 years of production. It has 51,000 miles on it. Very strong and smooth 3.9L V-6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. It has near perfect Centerline wheels with white letter tires with about half tread.
The body is in good condition. No rust whatsoever. The red paint shines very well. The frame does not even have any surface rust. Still has the original black paint on it. Early in its life, it was involved in a fender-bender and was repaired. Appears to have received a new fender, hood, and bumper. It was done well, but I want to be very honest about its condition. The paint has minor scrapes on it. It is not perfect, but it is very nice. In fact, it received a trophy at a large Mopar car show last weekend. Everyone was very impressed with the great condition of the truck.
The interior is also in good condition. Not perfect, but nice. One small defect in the dash. A couple of cigarette burns on the bench seat. No rips, tears, or major defects. Radio works just fine.
The truck runs very well. The clutch and transmission works very well. It truly drives like a low mileage truck should. It has a bed liner. The top is in good condition. Goes up and down with no problems.
The air pump for the emissions system has frozen up and has no belt on it. Does not affect the operation of the truck and is very common to this era of Dodges. It has had a new muffler installed recently. New rear shocks.
I am going to sell this for a reasonable cost. It is not a zillion dollar vehicle, rather it is a very nice cruiser that is a great bang for the buck and has low miles to boot. A very rare truck that most people have never heard of. Putting gas in always results in questions from people wanting to know if I had it converted at some specialty shop.
I am sure that I am forgetting something, so let me know if you have any questions. I will also pick you up at the local airport so you can drive home with the top down and the radio up. I would not be afraid to drive this truck anywhere. Gets 20 miles to the gallon also.
EDIT: EBAY has determined that due to the fender-bender on 6-30-1992 that it has a rebuilt title. IT IS NOT A SALVAGE OR REBUILT TITLE. CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE IS IN MY HAND.

Will airbags sandbag the 2017 Dodge Viper?
Thu, Jan 14 2016The Dodge Viper is speeding down the road to cancellation for the 2017 model year, and at least part of the reason for the V10 monster's death is a problem fitting it with federally mandated side curtain airbags. An anonymous source close to FCA US told Motor Trend the automaker can't install the parts because they would further limit the coupe's already tight headroom. The government believes the side curtain airbags can reduce occupant ejections during accidents, and all vehicles must have them for the 2017 model year. The Viper's slow sales also don't provide FCA US much motivation to work out a solution to this problem. The automaker moved just 676 of the handmade sports coupes in the US in 2015, which was down 11 percent from 760 deliveries in 2014. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne hinted at the Detroit Auto Show that the Viper could return eventually. He doesn't like that the current model has a dedicated platform but indicated a new one could share the underpinnings with another of the company's products. Marchionne's current business plan for FCA stresses building the automaker's value, so it might be a while before we see the sweater-clad CEO focusing on a niche vehicle like the Viper.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport
Tue, 29 Jan 2013We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.
Driving Notes
Dodge Challenger Hellcat drift video is pure horsepower porn
Fri, Mar 27 2015We could listen to the whining, snarling 6.2-liter Hemi V8 in the Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcats all day long. The noise just sounds like power that's being barely restrained and is everything about a muscle car that's right. The team at Pennzoil apparently understands that allure, too. The oil company has a new video where it lets the engine roar for over a minute, while a Challenger does some big, smoky drifts through an abandoned city. The whole stunt is edited together in a slickly produced way that looks fantastic. Although, the big finale might go a little too far and starts straining believability. Nonetheless, the Hellcat's wonderful noise is still the star of this show. Related Video:
