Best worst photo ever of a car.
Actually, worst worst photo ever of a car, since the best photo wouldn’t be able to show the car.

I still say there is sport truck resto-mod potential for this.
Instead of the likely 318 V8... swap in a nicely tuned 340 or 360 engine with fuel injection, and style up the body like a classic Mopar muscle car... Maybe with a 71 ‘Cuda style custom grille (D as in Dakota... ) And a tail band stripe with the Shelby name inset in it...
It kind of makes me wish there were a slick step-side bed option on these trucks... sort of like the 90’s era GM trucks that had nice, smooth step-side beds as an option. A simple sheet metal box with external boxed fenders like a 70’s Lil’ Red Express or Warlock wouldn’t be the worst thing on a Dakota, but it wouldn’t quite be a consistent look, either.
For some reason, lately, I have had step-side bed pickups with exo-skeleton-like bed bars on the outside of the bed, a tube-frame spare tire carrier in the bed, and off-road tube bumpers on my mind, sort of like a post-apocalyptic on/off-road thing, like a scaled-down Baja 1000 rig, but that wouldn’t fit the Shelby Sport Truck vibe here, either.
I could see something sort of like the RumbleBee or other modern RAM sport trucks that have taken on some old muscle-car cues.
