up for auction is a piece of Carroll Shelby history! This 1989 dodge Dakota truck was the last of the Shelby vehicles he did for Chrysler back in the 1980's. it is the only one built with a v-8, in this case a 5.2 LA motor. This truck was a barn find in the Dallas Texas area, and I was planning on restoring it but have too many irons in the fire before I will get around to it, so hopefully somebody else can bring it back to life.
Good, body is very straight and clean. It has a few small dings but nothing major and looks like it has never been in an accident. The underside is solid as are the floorpans. Has some surface rust on frame rails but all that will clean up nicely. The truck wasn't running when I got it and I haven't bothered to even look at it. It could be a running engine with a new battery or it could be totally bad. It is all there, and complete ready for a good go through. The battery tray, valve covers area looks a little rusty but the paint and body panels in the engine bay all look good and solid. The seat and carpet look to be in decent shape but stinks from the barn! The dash is cracked, door panels look good, some minor fading on the upper part of the plastic but no pitting or flaking, so a new coat of plastic paint and they would look new again. The truck has the front airdam, (corner is hanging, but can be reattached, has the fog lights and Shelby grille insert. It has all 4 shelby wheels, and I think 2-3 center caps, but not all 4. It still has the Shelby plastic bedliner in decent shape, sliding rear glass window, Shelby steering wheel and Shelby pull out beverage holder. It is missing the dash plague, fiberglass lightbar for the bed and the rear bumper step pads that say Shelby. It has step pads but they are the ram head logo not Shelby. This car will need to be towed/trailed obviously.

Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
SRT back to Dodge, Dart SRT, new Challenger, Charger and Caravan's death outlined in 5-yr plan
Tue, 06 May 2014The onslaught of news from Fiat Chrysler's layout of five-year plans continued with Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis this morning, including the unexpected announcement that SRT was coming back into the fold.
After just a few years existing as an independent entity within the Fiat Chrysler universe, an unceremonious press release hit in conjunction with today's lineup of announcements, saying "the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand." Group CEO Sergio Marchionne thanked SRT headman Ralph Gilles for his dedication to the high-performance wing, calling out is efforts in expanding the vehicle lineup and including more customized models. He did not reference disappointing SRT Viper sales today, but we sense there's a bit of subtext.
With the SRT reunion at Dodge, it's appropriate that some of the most exciting product announcements for the next five years have to do with upcoming performance products. First out of the gate will be a refresh for that flagging Viper in 2015, which comes as little surprise.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
