DAKOTA FRIENDS,
MY NAME IS JOHN BRAXTON .I OWN A 1989 SHELBY DAKOTA THAT I DRIVE
DAILY (FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS). THERE ARE ONLY 1500 OF THESE TRUCKS AND
MINE IS #1036. THE SHELBY DAKOTA CAME ONLY IN RED OR WHITE (MINE IS
RED).
HERE IS A LITTLE HISTORY....
THE DAKOTAS ARRIVE AT SHELBY AUTOMOBILES IN WHITTIER, CALIFORNIA,
WITH A V6 UNDER THE HOOD, BUT CARROLL AND THE BOYS REMOVED IT IN FAVOR
OF A FUEL-INJECTED 318 V8 COUPLED TO A FOUR-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION, COMPLETE WITH HIGH-SPEED CONVERTER. THE DAKOTA IS ALSO
EQUIPPED WITH A 3.90-GEARED REAR END WITH LIMITED SLIP TO PUT THE POWER
TO THE GROUND. NEW GAS SHOCKS, OVERSIZED GOODYEAR EAGLE GT+4 RADIAL
TIRES, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ASSURE WELL-ROUNDED PERFORMANCE ON STREET OR
TRACK. IN ADDITION TO THE MECHANICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE SHELBY, THE
SPECIAL DAKOTA ALSO FEATURES STYLING TOUCHES SUCH AS A LIGHT BAR
EXTENSION, FRONT AIR DAM, AND FENDER EXTENSION, SPECIAL SHELBY GRAPHIC
AND 15X6.5 ALUMINUM WHEELS. SPECIAL INTERIOR FEATURES INCLUDE AN AM/FM
STEREO WITH CASSETTE AND FOUR SPEAKERS, SHELBY CHARCOAL CLOTH IN THE
SEATS AND DOOR PANELS, AND A THREE-SPOKE WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL.
SINCE I HAVE OWN MY SHELBY, I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE ROT0ARS AND
FRONT WHEEL BEARING, THE WATER PUMP, OIL SENDING UNIT, NEW GOODYEAR ST
TIRES(3,000 MILES NOW). BEFORE SELLING I PLAN TO REPLACE THE HEADLINER,
SHOCKS, BATTERY,COMPLETE TUNE UP, AND DETAIL INSIDE AND OUT. THE SHELBY
HAS 120,000+ MILES BUT 90% ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I ALWAYS CHANGE THE OIL AT
3,000 MILES OF LESS, AND KEEP IT WELL MAINTAINED. IT REALLY LOOKS
GREAT!!!!
I HAD PLANNED TO RESTORE MY SHELBY. BUT WITH FUTURE FAMILY
ENLARGEMENT I NEED MORE ROOM I WOULD LOVE TO SALE TO SOMEBODY WHO THINKS
AS MUCH OF SHELBY DAKOTAS AS I DO. I WOULD LIKE TO WAITING UNTILL AUG.
TO SELL BECAUSE THE SHELBY WILL THEN BE PAID FOR.
I'M ASKING $10,000 FOR THIS RARE SHELBY.
