This is the real deal...everything except for the tires is original..Dallas and I have spoken before for at least an hour each time...he is a huge Mopar fan...I have a 1968 440 Dart...a 1977 Dodge Aspen and this will put a pickup truck underneath me...Three reasons...It's a Mopar....It's a Mopar Truck and it's one that is never seen around here anymore...that will give it and my Aspen an upper hand in some of the car shows around here...rare is better..I will take several minutes posting all the pics I got so far...

 

Here's some more of those pics for ya...

 

and some more pics..these are of Dallas and his nephew cleaning it prior to taking it to a local Dodge dealers showroom...and then some close ups of Shelby badges and decals...

 

And the last of them with it showing at the Dodge dealer...

 

Very Cool find. Congrats.!

 

I think it is cool too...you know why...I never seen one until he posted the pics on another forum I follow...then all of a sudden I saw one on a side road here that I never would travel on...

 

I thought that the Shelby Dakota trucks were convertables? EDIT:turns out not all were.

Great looking none the less!

 

I don't think any of he Shelby Dakota's were convertables....but here is a pic of a convertable Dakota..

 

Thats looks like one clean truck!

 

There was at least one here in NJ, It was going for 10K. I saw the truck, and it was a true Shelby.

 

The Converts I believe were a year earlier. I remember at the time hoping to get a shelby Convertable but they discontinued it the year before. I don't think you would have been able to put the top down with the roll bar where it is on the Shelby.

 

Here is one that looks exactly like the one I mentioned above. So there are at least 2 of them and they are identical.

 

I am glad the one I am looking at is not a convertable...I think the hard top looks a ton better...just M2C..plus the one I am looking at is going to be alot more than 6500 bucks..

 

nice find, this truck is also the first dak to have a v8 in it.....mind you it wasn't a "magnum" but it was the beginning of it.
that is way too clean of a truck, very sweet!

 

Thanks down payment goes out this Friday...he is a stand up guy that I have talked to for a couple of years..he is a mopar nut and will keep it for me until mid September...that's when I be ready for another vehicle..

 

$1,000.00 deposit went to Dallas today...he will keep it garaged and not drive it anymore until I pick it up in mid-September

 

very nice.
just curious, whats the mileage on this thing? cant be that much in this good of shape

 

38,000 miles...but garage kept

 

looks like they couldn't have hauled anything more than cotton ***** in that bed!

 

Got my reciept back from Dallas yesterday....for the 1000 dollar down payment I sent him....pretty much a done deal now...just have to play the waiting game...2 months isn't a long time...have to finish up my projects firstopcorn:

 

Can't you just go get it and just park it till your ready for it?

 

No room, just downsized from two storages to one and I won't park it outside...my short driveway has 3 cars on it and I park in the street

 

Went out and checked the tow rig...left front wheel was locking up some when you hit the brakes hard. I backed off the adjuster on that one and it fixed the problem. Going to pick it up next weekend..700 mile haul from my house to Roby Missouri..will be sure to take pics.

 

Good luck and be safe on your trip. Can't wait to see the pix
