 1989 Shelby Dakota #1238 of 1500. Just painted factory Exotic Red. New reproduction graphics. New ProComp shock absorbers. New ignition coil and Hall Effect module. New cooling fans. New bumpers, front and rear.

We rescued this truck from a used car dealer after its former owner used it as a tow and work vehicle. This was a father and son project. We considered keeping it to match or white Shelby Dakota #233, but we are out of room due to other projects. It needs nothing to be driven, but needs the following to be perfect:

Headliner repaired:

Mirrors and grille painted

Steering wheel re-covered.

Dashboard cracks repaired

Wheel center caps (there is a seller on Ebay with them).

The engine drives and shifts as it should. Compression is between 165 and 170 PSI in all eight cylinders.

The radio stopped working (not original) could be a fuse, I will take a look at it, but as of now it is not working.

This was a nearly two year labor of love. We literally brought this old girl back to life.

Fully restored, these trucks fetch between $10,000 and $15,000. Ours can be had for roughly half that. It does not need that much to be perfect.

The truck is also for sale locally.


On Nov-22-12 at 06:00:48 PST, seller added the following information:

The reserve price is not that high. I will not sell for the starting bid price as the truck is worth much more than that. I am not desperate to sell. if it does not sell, I will keep restoring. The more work I do, the higher the price becomes. I also own a white Shelby Dakota and would not mind having one of each color.


Note: I am being asked questions such as: "Does the truck run?" "What does it need to pass inspection?" "What kind of rust repair will it need." This is not a non running truck needing restoration. It runs very well. It has just been painted. The body and underside need nothing. Other than the headliner, dash, steering wheel leather, fog lights and wheel center caps, it needs nothing. The truck also qualifies for collectors insurance and is currently insured that way. 



Make a bid. I am negotiable. Please be aware that if your bid is accepted, it is a done deal.

 

I will consider trades or partial trades. Interested in Classic Beetles, Turbo Subarus and C4 Corvettes.

Ram exec: first 30-mpg pickup truck will 'win'

Fri, Aug 8 2014

It is totally possible, today, to take the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup truck, load it up with gear and people, and drive it from Texas to Michigan while getting 38 miles per gallon. We know because we did it. Officially, though, the 1500 gets just 20 mpg combined. A more impressive number is the 28 mpg on the highway. Bob Hegbloom, the Ram brand director, thinks that there's a more important fuel economy target to hit: 30 mpg. Whichever truck company can manage that feat, he recently told Automotive News, "wins." It's kind of an obvious thing to say, but in the 1500 with both the EcoDiesel and the V6 Pentastar engine, Hegbloom said, "fuel economy is so important." Hegbloom didn't promise that the next EcoDiesel truck will manage to get on up over the 30 hump, but he did say that Ram is not sitting still when it comes to fuel economy. "I just want to have continuous improvement and to keep gaining every day," he said. "We sat still in the past and it doesn't lead to a great place."

Highway To Hellcat: Dallas to Vegas with 2,000 HP

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Fort Davis, TX. Early November. Late Sunday afternoon. The 1,200 residents of this small town are using their day of rest to quietly enjoy the breeze rolling off the hills. There's an older couple walking down the street, holding hands. A young lady working at a general store, where milkshakes and antacids are purchased at the same counter. It's a peaceful, quaint scene, right down to the tumbleweed rolling across the street and the rickety wooden porches outside the old storefronts. I hit the throttle of the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat while turning left onto the road leading toward the town square, sending the sedan's rear end swinging to the right with a few puffs of rubbery smoke. I coast down to the 25-mile-per-hour speed limit and spot the line of Challengers, Chargers, and Vipers in my rear-view mirror, the drivers all mimicking my quick jolt of enthusiasm before pulling up the reigns on their V8s and V10s and idling into Fort Davis. Our posse would roll some 5,000 horsepower of pure American muscle into that small Texas town that day. It was only the first stop on an epic journey that would take us from Dallas to Las Vegas, on a winding route down toward El Paso, up through New Mexico, Arizona, and finally north into Nevada, ending at the ritzy Palazzo casino and hotel on the Vegas strip. It was an opportunity to see parts of America I never knew existed, and a chance to bond with some American cars that until recently, I sort of failed to understand. And most importantly it was an opportunity to drive really, really hard. Charging Through Texas Unless you've driven across it, it's hard to understand the massive space that is Texas. In places, scanning 360 degrees of horizon reveals absolutely nothing. Nothing. On its own, driving from Dallas to El Paso covers some 630 miles. Veer south to Fort Davis and you'll add another 70 onto that, not including the 75-mile Davis Mountain Scenic Loop where I found bliss behind the wheel of this insanely powerful sedan. I always expected to like the Charger Hellcat – comfortable seating for four (five in a pinch), equipped with the latest tech, wrapped in a stylish yet muscular body, like a quarterback in a tux. And it moves. The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 pumps out 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, which makes for one quick sedan, especially considering its heft.

Here are the cars Fast 8 characters will drive in Iceland

Tue, Jun 28 2016

The eighth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise will feature some characteristic wheel-to-wheel adventuring, this time on Icelandic ice. As revealed by the F&F production team, here are some of the vehicles that will be seen in the film. What else could Dominic Toretto drive than a Dodge? The previous film showed a Charger fitted for off-road driving, and this time the classic shape has been formed into an ice racer. The muscle car is still recognizable, but the altered wheelbase and fender flares make this something quite different. And as the bullet holes testify, the matte black machine is definitely going to see some action. Letty drives a Local Motors Rally Fighter, which might be the best fit for the ice scenes. The off-road coupe has been modified with a brush bar and some serious roof-mounted lights. Roman will be seen behind the wheel of an orange Lamborghini Murcielago, easily standing out in the frozen wastes. To top it off, there are some tank-like machines: There's a tracked Ripsaw for Tej Parker and an "Ice Ram" for Hobbs, who is played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Both of these look like mean machines, and on the screen they'll probably prove to be the admission ticket's worth.
