You won’t remember it by that first photo, as my phone didn’t focus in time.

Kinja'd!!!

But these were a little clearer.

Kinja'd!!!

Enhance!

And here is one with the top down.

Kinja'd!!!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen one.

Have you seen one before?

I have seen a few, and I love it. Though that one I am not sure on if it is a legit factory deal, missing the 2 tone paint scheme or the Dakota Sport decals on the side. Regardless, cool as hell

No its 2 tone. Barely noticable navy blue and black. Look closer

There were some ‘verts optioned as stripper models, like this one seems to be with its basic paint scheme and steel wheels.

Oh yeah, I remember these! In fact, until a year or two ago, someone in my neighborhood had one.

Yes.

And they even made a Shelby versions of it, too.

And of course, there is a Dakota convertible fan site.

No kidding. If they’re the only two left, we should get them together to make More.

Funny, I saw one this morning and thought about how rare they are and also what a dumb idea it was (to make, not to have). The only other convertible pick up I could think of is a Chevrolet SSR and that barely qualifies as a truck..

More than I would’ve thought, but still not many. I bet way fewer survived.

I had a neighbor that had a white Shelby and a red Sport. The Shelby had a 318 5 speed and the sport was a 3.9/auto. Interesting trucks, sure, but not very good at being a truck or a convertible.
