*1989 Dodge 4x4 Sport Dakota Convertible* * Relisted from 4/22/14, as overnight, eBay had an issue with a stated condition of payment. Apologies to those that had already bid. * Before you and up for bid is my 1989 Dodge Dakota Sport Convertible 4x4 Truck, it's a rare bird...the particulars of the truck are as follows: * In 1988, Dodge contracted with the American Sunroof Corp., (ASC), for a 3 year run of Dakota convertible trucks. These were offered in 2WD & 4WD variants with a 5-speed transmission. Supposedly, there were more 2WD's built than 4WD, I can't imagine wanting a 2WD, but, that's what makes a horse race. The only options were AC and an automatic transmission. The run is purported to have consisted of 2842 trucks in 1989, 909 in 1990, and just 8 in 1991. * We leased and then purchased off lease, four of these trucks from K&M Northfield Dodge, in Grand Rapids for two lodges in Michigan and Colorado. * Garaged & pampered non-smoker, no pets, and consistent routine preventive maintenance. * All original throughout with NO accident history, (CARFAX certified) 100% factory paint that still has a very nice reflective finish. (see pics to illustrate) * ONLY 85,424 actual miles! * A solid truck throughout, guaranteed to be ZERO RUST! The truck was not driven in winter conditions and therefore not exposed to salt or mag chloride chemicals. These trucks were reported at that time to have utilized the most corrosive resistant material ever in a Dodge. * Other than the aforementioned choices for rear or 4 wheel drive and transmission preference, save for color choice, these trucks essentially came one way. * 3.9 liter V6, the engine bay is clean, the engine fires right up, holds a smooth idle and has very good compression (155-162). There are NO annoying drips or leaks. Recent serviced with fresh fluids, hoses, belts, plugs, and filters. * Automatic transmission, shifts smoothly through all transitions. * Gauge package, all are fully functional. * ICE COLD AC, fully functional heat, defrost and ventilation * Power windows & locks, all operate properly * Cruise control, operable * Factory AM/FM/Cassette stereo w/4 speakers, it plays fine. * Shift on the fly 4WD, operates properly in both low and high * Leather wrapped tilt steering wheel * The dash does have a couple of hairline cracks, (see pic) DASHMAT protective cover. * The interior rates a 9.5 out of 10. The velour seats are in excellent condition as they were always covered, and show virtually no wear. * Excellent carpet, no wear, stains or fading. Weather mats included. * Excellent door panels * All safety features are fully operational, horn, wipers, high & low beams, directionals, emergency flashers, etc. * All weather stripping is soft and pliable * All original glass, no cracks, one small windshield chip out of the field of vision and epoxy resin repaired. * Padded factory rollbar * The manual top is the factory original and in great shape. There are no leaks, holes, or seam separations. Non-clouded rear window. Easy lowering process, up or down in under 10 seconds. * All knobs, stalks, buttons, etc., are present, none are broken or missing. * PENDALINER bed liner * 2" bumper mounted ball, these trucks are not tow horses, however, they will capably tow a small boat or jet ski. * Factory Sport alloy wheels, all are in good shape w/no curb rash, all 4 tires have approx. 50% tread wear remaining, they are not mismatched. * Original full size spare, jack and tire tool located in pouch behind the seat. * Original DAKOTA factory brochure, owners manual, warranty book, supplemental operational pamphlets, and two sets of keys. While the DAKOTA has a couple of door dings along with some minor scratches & scuffs, (see pics), at 25 years of age, it looks, runs and drives great! In addition, there is a dent smaller than a raquet ball located at the top front center of the bed. This was an oversight yesterday as the top was folded down. Being the first convertible trucks offered in America since 1934, they attract a wide range of attention from bewilderment to consistant thumb ups and "cool" comments. Enthusiasts are aware that DODGE built 'em, however, with 25 years having now passed since their arrival, there's a generation unfamilair with their existance. You are bidding to purchase the SPORT DAKOTA, not to be the first to "look at it". Inspections are welcome and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. Thank you. Please have your funding in place prior to placing your bid. Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. Thank you. I have set a reasonable reserve for the DAKOTA. It is commensurate with the ownership history, the present condition it is in, the care it has received, and the low miles. Please DO NOT ask what the reserve is, as I will not disclose it. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the nice 1989 DODGE Sport Dakota Convertible 4x4 truck that you see before you. A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable VIA PayPal within 24 hours of auction close. No exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 7 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will only accept PayPal for the initial $1000.00 payment. The DODGE and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. Transportation and/or shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. I am confident that the DAKOTA could be driven home safely to anywhere in America. If you choose to fly in and drive home, I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. Trailered delivery is possible within the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) I can recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. *IMPORTANT* If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, excessive negative feedback, years of inactivity on eBay, or less than 10 quality transactions...YOU will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid to express your intentions, otherwise your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This simple guideline is in place to protect the integrity of the auction from non-paying bidders. I am a legitimate seller simply seeking a legitimate buyer. eBay provides for only 24 pictures. I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the truck. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail. If you have any questions, call me directly. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a brief message and I will return your call promptly. The truck & title will not be released until payment in full has been received. I am not a dealer, I am a collector/hobbyist that is downsizing from my personal vehicles. Those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased with their purchases, their expectations exceeded. 100% eBay satisfaction rating. Given the age of the Dakota, the truck is sold in "as is" condition with no expressed, written or implied warranties. Clear Colorado title in my name. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me and PRESENT your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid on this RARE 1989 DODGE Sport Dakota 4x4 Convertible Truck! Jeff (719)-492-1234,c

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
Highway To Hellcat: Dallas to Vegas with 2,000 HP
Thu, Jan 15 2015Fort 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.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
