PRIVATE SELLER. This is an all original , stock truck exactly how it left the showroom in 1989. It has been garage kept its entire life. All new tires, new battery, all just serviced. The body and undercarriage is no rust at all. The paint has a nice shine. The top is brand new with no wear at all. The interior has no rips or tears and is in amazing condition. The truck starts, stops,shifts through all gears without issue, and runs as it should. I have a clear Florida title in my name, that matches my fl drivers license. There is another Dakota truck on here for $16,500. This one is less than half and just as nice condition, this is to show that I am listing this truck to sell, not waste anyone's time. This truck is a 4X4, perfect winter and summer. A local inspection is welcome. The usual, as-is where-is, with no warranty or any type. The truck is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. I put the "buy it now" at a very fair price for a truck that is in this condition. I am happy to bring the truck to any local port or work with your shipper to transport at your expense. This is a pickup and a jeep all wrapped in one. It needs no restoration, just a new garage and owner. ITEMS to be addressed: there is a small crack in the dash, the drivers side front fender has a very slight discoloration in the clear coat( wet sand and re clear) , the paint is fine. There is a small noise from the front wheel, not sure what it is, but nothing that has needed to be addressed while I have driven. The radio is factory, it works, but it's factory. The speaker grill is broken in one door. That is about it, those minor items and the truck is perfect. Payments and delivery: deposit via paypal, balance via bank wire transfer or cash in person. Will release the truck\title when all funds clear my bank. Happy to store the truck(if paid in full) , for up to 30 days. Yes I would fly in and drive this truck anywhere . Questions : Philip 954-234-5770 text or voicemail is best, can return messages/calls when out of the office. Great google info on the truck: There's no denying that the Chevrolet SSR is a sexy hot rod. Its cab magically transforms from a fully enclosed state to convertible form in less than 30 seconds. Chevrolet even advertises it as the "American street machine." Chevy rightly claims that it builds the world's first production truck with a retractable hardtop, but the SSR is not the first convertible pickup in the industry. Ford began offering a factory-built roadster with a truck bed in the spring of 1925, and continued to offer the combination through 1934. When Ford concluded production, the convertible truck idea faded away. It wasn't until decades later that customized convertible trucks began to gain status on the West Coast. By 1989, Dodge capitalized on the growing popularity of the specialty pickup market with the introduction of the Dakota Sport convertible. This was the first postwar production ragtop pickup, and Dodge billed it as "the ultimate fun truck." {It is still the only postwar production ragtop pickup.} The Dakota Sport convertible featured a manual vinyl top that could be folded back and covered with a boot, or completely removed. The unique hauler was based on a two-door pickup with a metal roof on its cab, and was assembled at Chrysler's Dodge City truck complex in Warren, Michigan. From there, the trucks were shipped to American Sunroof Co. (ASC) several suburbs away. ASC sliced the roof off and added the necessary components to turn it into a convertible for open-air excitement. These Dakota Sport convertibles were sold as either as 4x2s or shift-on-the-fly 4x4s with a base price of $14,425. All {only in 1989} trucks came fitted with a 125-hp, fuel-injected V-6 mated with a five-speed manual or optional three-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment included an integral padded sport roll bar; 15-in., cast-aluminum wheels; a tachometer; an AM/FM stereo cassette radio; deluxe wipers; power steering, power windows, and door locks; dual remote outside mirrors; and fog lights. Exterior paint choices were red, black, or white with the grill, bumpers, headlight bezels, wheel lip moldings, door and tailgate handles painted black. Decorative details on the convertible included an acrylic ram's head hood medallion plus added tape graphics on the body sides and tailgate. Dodge impressed 2,842 Dakota Sport convertible buyers in 1989. While the Dakota Sport convertible continued for 1990 with the 3.9-liter V-6, it was joined by a second variation, the Dakota SE convertible truck. The SE came powered by a standard 2.5-liter engine and smooth-shifting, five-speed manual overdrive transmission. Colors for 1990 were Colorado Red, Bright White, and Daytona Blue, or black. A mere 1,039 {writer's mistake, there were 909} units were sold. Legend has it that another eight Dakota Sport convertibles were built in 1991 by ASC to complete the remainder of its contract with Dodge. Beginning in 2003, ASC was once again involved with the realization of a convertible pickup, but now it is with Chevrolet and its SSR, and this time the manufacturing procedure is reversed from how the Dodge Dakota convertible used to be constructed. ASC first partially builds the SSR before it is shipped to General Motors for final assembly in the Lansing factory. Obviously, the Chevy SSR is ultra cool, but with a 2004 base sticker price of $41,370, it's a rather pricey vehicle. |

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
FCA and UAW deal could mean huge production shakeups
Thu, Sep 17 2015The big labor contract between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers is likely to lead to some very serious production shakeups across the company's North American manufacturing operations. That's according to a new report from Automotive News, which details the sweeping changes at no fewer than five production facilities in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Mexico, and Poland. So without further ado, here's what's going where, presented in easy to digest bullet form. Ram 1500 production would move from Warren, MI to Sterling Heights, MI Warren, MI would be retooled for unibody production and would handle the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and could potentially build Grand Cherokees to ease the strain on Detroit's Jefferson North factory Chrysler 200 production would move from Sterling Heights, MI to Toluca, Mexico Dodge Dart production would move from Belvidere, IL to Toluca, Mexic Fiat 500 production, which is currently handled by Toluca, would be concentrated in Poland, where the Euro-spec Cinquecento is built Jeep Cherokee production would move from Toledo, OH to Belvidere, IL to make room for Wrangler and Wrangler Pickup production Like we said, those are some big changes. But, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said in an earlier interview with Automotive News, this kind of shakeup would make a lot of sense. In that August interview the exec said that automakers moved truck production to Mexico because they were "threatened" by the UAW. "The only thing [the UAW] want is to move the truck back. Which is right. If you move the truck back here, which is [the UAW's] domain, [and move] all the cars that we get killed on somewhere else, we could actually make sense of this bloody industry and actually increase the number of people employed in this country and really share wealth because we are making money," Marchionne told AN.

The Dodge Demon is leaked in Fast 8 video with Vin Diesel
Thu, Jan 19 2017It's only week two of the twelve-part Dodge Demon teaser roll out, and it already appears the metaphorical Hellcat is out of the bag. A YouTube video featuring Vin Diesel discussing The Fate of the Furious ( Fast 8) has what are almost certainly two Dodge Challenger Demons parked right in the background. So much for three months worth of build up and mystique. The two cars in the video appear to have the new logo affixed to the fender, right where the current Hellcat logo resides. In addition, the wheels and the massive hood scoop both appear to be the same relative shape as the ones briefly flashed in the latest teaser video. While we can't be 100 percent certain this is really a Demon, all the evidence points to yes. Even if this spoiled Dodge's plans, actually seeing the car here makes us even more excited for the full reveal. We still don't know all the final specs, save that it'll be 200 lbs lighter, so there is still some mystery to be had. The Challenger and Charger Hellcat twins, some of the most brazen and brutish machines currently on the road, were already cranked up to 11. The Demon, with its wide fender flares and comically large hood scoop looks makes the standard car look tame by comparison. We can't wait.
