Vehicle Description
From the ivory paint, to the interior - this 1988 Dodge Dakota is
terrific time warp of a classic pickup. So whether you had a truck
like this or your family had one, you're looking at an affordable
way to capture some memories...and make some new ones, too. And
yes, the ultra-low odometer is believed to be this truck's actual
mileage!
This one grabs attention because everyone wants to know how a truck
like this can still look so good. For starters, there would be more
mileage on this one if we just went from our showroom to the beach
once a year! So it's a true time capsule that has been preserved
with a terrific shine and a factory level panel fit. And the Light
Ivory paint is even believed to be the original application. It has
that ideal yellow-beige tone that represents the 1980s correctly,
and there are just the right hints of age so that people really
understand the originality. The bed looks like it has never seen a
big load; the chrome front bumper is mirror-like; and it's
complete, right down to the factory wheel covers. So while this one
could certainly get to work, we bet you're thinking more about how
to turn your garage into a 1980s Dodge showroom to showcase this
special survivor.
Inside is more of that time machine feeling. And it's easy to see
with it all dressed in a bright tan/yellow. The bench seat has the
classic comfy cloth pattern, and there isn't even a coffee stain
because this one wasn't part of the morning commute. The dash is a
true marvel considering you'll likely never find one again that's
so smooth, clean, and saved from decades of sun beaming through the
windshield. The steering wheel, heater controls, gauges, and AM/FM
stereo all retain that day-one look and feel. And you still have
all the great old-school pickup features - from the durable rubber
flooring to the sliding rear window.
Under the hood is more of the great time capsule presentation. The
2.2-liter motor is believed to be original to the truck. It
certainly looks the part, right down to the factory decals that are
still clear and easy to read. This isn't a speed demon of a
powerplant, but it's also no slouch. You take full control of it
all with the five-speed manual transmission. And because this has
been properly maintained, it rides smooth and feels like a
brand-new truck. So while the odometer is amazingly low, we bet you
won't be able to resist adding to it. Especially because you have
easy driving features like power steering and power brakes with
discs up front.
Complete with owner's manual, this is rolling nostalgia offered for
an affordable price. So do you want to look through your photo
albums or drive them? Call today!!!
