The Dakota was a compact pickup truck from Dodge that was sold between 1987 and 1996. It was dependable, tough looking, and came with various engines and trim levels. However, Dodge wanted more, and in the late 80s, the company conceived a performance version created by legendary Carroll Shelby, who was currently working with Chrysler Corporation. Shelby took the regular production Dakota and installed a 5.2-liter V8 engine with 175 HP.
