1989 Dakota Hardtop Converible?
« on: November 11, 2008 - 07:42:43 PM »
I know that they made these Dakota Convertibles from 89-91. The only ones that I have seen on the web are true convertible conversions, with the fold down vinyl convertible tops.  There is a local auction that has one advertised as a hardtop convertible. The pics show it to have a hardtop and not a softop. My question is, does anybody know if they made a few of these with a removable hardtop?

To my knowledge they never made a hardtop vert, they were all softtop and I wish I could find a good one. I thought they were cool. It looks to be a regular truck that someone customized.

I only remember seeing them with fabric softtops.

Oh and 2 cupholders that popped out of the dash ;)

So, this one is bogus? I will take a look at it on Friday, the auction is Sat. If anyone might be interested in it , let me know. It is in Tucson, AZ.

Maybe it's the first one ever made, a one of a kind factory prototype :grinyes:. Or not!!

 :clueless:  Is there a roll bar for the upper seatbelt anchors?  If it doesn't leak, looks like a nice truck!  :grinyes:
