I think the convertible Daks were 88 or 89 and were only made for a couple
of years .
I bet that insurance killed em cuz I asked about insurance on one a few
years ago and I almost had a stroke !
As I recall , they didn't have a V8 in the Dak at the time they made the
rag-top , they were all V6s . (I think)
All the ones I have seen have been 4wd and have all been severley punished
. From what I hear , a nice un-destroyed original is hard to come by .
