*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

Dodge Hellcats getting price hike
Fri, Aug 21 2015Dodge plans twice as many Hellcats on the road for the 2016 model year, they are going to be a bit more expensive when buyers sign on the dotted line. According to CarsDirect and confirmed to Autoblog by Dodge, 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat costs $65,190, an increase of $4,200 over 2015. That figure includes $995 for destination and $1,700 for the Gas Guzzler charge. The latest Charger SRT Hellcat retails for $68,640, a $3,650 increase. Other SRT trims of the muscle cars also see a price hike. The 2016 Challenger SRT 392 is $51,190, after destination and a $1,000 guzzler charger – a $3,500 increase. The Charger SRT 392 also jumps $3,000, to $51,990. Even at 2015's prices, Dodge was having problems keeping up with demand for the Hellcat, and the higher price isn't likely to change that. And before you think the company is going plum crazy, the 2016 models of all four muscle cars come standard with Laguna leather seats and navigation. According to company spokesperson Dan Reid to Autoblog, both items had a "very high customer take rate," and the previously optional features are valued at $2,490. Dodge previously announced a discount for those who had a sold 2015 Hellcat order canceled in the switch to 2016. Those amount to $5,000 on the Challenger and $4,000 Charger, which seems like a sweet deal for those customers. Related Video:
Demon's NHRA competition ban: Good talking point, bad feature
Wed, Apr 12 2017One of the biggest headlines for the Dodge Challenger Demon is that, in stock form, it's so fast that the NHRA won't allow it to compete in the organization's events. It's the ultimate humble brag, "I can't drag race my car because it's so fast it was banned by the sanctioning body." Certainly Tim Kuniskis, head of FCA brands in North America, was excited. He told the press that he hugged the guy that brought him the letter banning the Demon from competition. Unfortunately, the reality is that not being NHRA-legal is kind of silly, and frustrating for owners who would want to actually race. Before we go too much farther, we should explain exactly why the Demon is illegal for NHRA competition. The car is capable of a sub-10-second quarter-mile time both on racing fuel and 91-octane pump gas. Cars that fast are required by the NHRA to have a full, certified roll cage, and the Demon doesn't. Now there are certainly ways to get around this. The most obvious would be for a Demon owner to have a company install a roll cage. Using less grippy tires than the barely street-legal Nitto cheater slicks would probably help bring that time down, too. There's also the option of putting the car into Eco mode, and, yes, the Demon has one. In Eco mode, the Demon makes just 500 horsepower, and trips the lights at the quarter-mile in 11.59 seconds, which will avoid the roll-cage requirement. However, none of these options are ideal. For one thing, if you bought an 840-horsepower car, you're not going to want to limit it when you get to a closed course such as a drag strip. Similarly, you're not going to want to ditch your super-sticky tires at the strip, especially when they're standard equipment. Finally, having to go aftermarket for a roll cage is an inconvenience at minimum, and it seems like a strange oversight considering the rest of the car. This is a car from the factory that comes with drag radials, no passenger seats, a racing fuel tune, air conditioned intercooler, and even skinny front wheels for drag racing. Its purpose is clear, but for some reason, Dodge stopped short of giving it a roll cage that would allow it to compete. Perhaps adding a roll cage would've made it difficult to pass safety regulations, and we would be more disappointed if the car wasn't allowed on the street. Even so, it seems like an odd stopping point.
Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
