MuscleMopars OP master Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 4,697 North Central USA (MN-WI area)	I just picked up this '89 Dodge Dakota Sport Convertible. It is all original including the tires and only has 30,000 miles on it. Only 23 years old but still a survivor I guess? 7217252-89DakotaConvert.jpg (107 downloads) Thanks, Eric email eric@musclemopars.com 715-426-HEMI (Shop) 612-669-CARS (Cell and Texts) Go to my Moparts "Profile" to see my web site

This Dakota Convertibles' paint is beautiful and original! Thanks, Eric email eric@musclemopars.com 715-426-HEMI (Shop) 612-669-CARS (Cell and Texts) Go to my Moparts "Profile" to see my web site

I have only seen some real beat up ones in Mexico City but I always thought them and the Shelby Dakotas were cool. Thanks for posting. Hecho en Mexico and stayed in Mexico

I am thinking of getting something again next year to keep the miles off my 04 Ram 4.7 4x4. I've had two of them in the past and I miss the 90 2wd base Dakota Convertible I sold. Kicking myself for that as it was a solid California truck. I also had a salvaged 89 4x4 with a screwed up body lift on it.
