Fun fact: If I'm not mistaken, Syclone was spelled with an "S" instead of a "C" because Cyclone was already taken by Mercury back in the late '60s.

I went to the front Gate. The MPs said we won’t come get you if you get stuck. We said we’re on a beer run. They gave us $150 an a Motorola in case we got stuck coming back. Funny how beer made friends. Lol The snow was so deep we could on see the top of snow markers. Out there they were doubled up. So the snow was over 5 feet in some spots. The S10 was so light with fat tires it stayed on top. The heater core was broken so we had to scrape the inside windows. Fun times.

Hello andrewdunbar828, You're 100% correct about the headliner-sag issue. This is thanks to The EPA requiring auto manufacturers to use environmentally friendly, water-based glue to adhere the cloth material to the cabin roof of cars, trucks & vans. This was an industry-wide issue in high-humidity regions; such as Florida; where this Dodge Shelby Dakota resides. It took several years until a glue was developed that resolved this issue & met the "ridiculous" EPA requirements. Best regards from Yucatan Mexico, Ben

I had a 91 Dakota club cab 4x4 for a bit in 1998..also a 318 2bbl in a Plymouth is quicker than a Shelby Dakota...Depends if you have the smog carb on the 318 some had it some didnt thats why some people say 318's move real good and some say it doesnt..Also the Dakota had 3.92's or something like that. I ran 15.80's in a 1973 Plymouth Satellite stock 318 2bbl,904 auto and 3.21 gearing.100% stock,single exhaust etc....They came with 2 different 2bbl carbs one had 20 hp less than the carb I had(one carb is also similar what they used on lean burn cars later on just robbed power/performance)..torque was also up by as much(I have the factory book dating 1973)..We also had same year Chargers with same everything but the carbs and it was over 2 seconds quicker in the 1/4 mile.We swapped the carbs made back to back run and cars ran identical times better carb was quicker.This was in the 80's and the cars were bone stock never messed with.. I put a strong 340 in the 73 and made a Road Runner clone in 1988,car ran high 12's with no traction for 100 feet! Also ran the 215-70-14 tires so that hampered traction too.Sold it bought 4 cars with the money and kept buying/selling and fixing up.

Owner of number 0828 Break boosting is necessary to break all the tires loose. Stock they can handle a little more boost from stock to get it past 300whp. The transmission is also what helps get the power down, changing out the stock torque converter for more higher rpm stall speed will help take advantage of the power. Power to weight is the strong point, next to doing awd donuts in the rain or snow. This vehicle was ahead of its time by mixing forced induction and awd into a pickup.

Regular cab, long box 2wd, 350. It was $13,744 out the door with my dad's gm discount. I got 285,000 miles out of it before it was involved in a accident by someone looking at their cellphone, relatively new in those days.! 2001.? Always had a need for a full size truck, but was still living at home, if I would have waited, who knows? I may have bought one.!

I inherited my grandfathers 93 Chevy regular cab long bed, 350, with 120,000 miles on it. Spent 22 years in a garage being driven just enough to keep it in good shape. Absolutely love that truck. It's the most reliable car in my driveway, ac still works, still looks beautiful.... It's a shame yours was taken my the road. My hot rod project truck happens to be a 4 speed, 454, 76 Silverado stepside.

@ryurc3033 with the square bodied chevies so popular now, I wish I would have kept mine. ! Or could've bought several at low prices back in the early 90s, dirt cheap. Now, their like $8000+ for a project truck. Same for a 90s. Funny how the hobby changes.

I bought one in 90 from a dealer in McKinney TX. They had 12 Syclones that they could not sell because of the price. I got mine for just over $21k. Wish i had it still. The only thing that was bad was the paint job. For some reason, the truck was built without clear coat. Every time i cleaned it, 2 days later the paint was more gray than black. The dealer wouldn't fix it other than wax it once a month for the 1st year. I got tired of dealing with the dealer and sold it to a retired AA pilot who was forced into retirement because he was over 65. I saw the former pilot a couple months after i sold it to him and he informed me that he went to a dealer in Dallas and they told him that GM had an open recall on the truck. They resprayed the clear coat for free. My original dealer was not willing to do the respray because i got it at a discount.

Dream vehicles. They are slow in todays standards, for most people these vehicle's are just some old cheap junk but man they are so cool

It was stated that the size of the engine was increased from 3.8 Litres to 4.3 Litres is not accurate. The 231/3.8 Buick built V6 in the GN/GNX was a totally different engine from the 262/4.3 Chevrolet built V6 in the Syclone/Typhoon but both being GM built Turbocharged V6s, they sound so similar. The 3.8 had a firing order of 165432, I believe that the 4.3 was a different firing order but I could be mistaken.

That headliner in the Shelby was already drooping with such low miles.

It’s not miles that causes it. It’s time.

What's truly sad is that less than 10 years after these Shelby models were produced Chrysler produced the Dodge Dakota R/T with the 360 Magnum, and I can attest that it was quick...but nothing crazy, it was just fun. I blew one sideways in the rain at 60 MPH with a heavy foot. I also drove one of the original OBS Ford Lightnings in black with red trim and a gray cloth interior with the 351 fuel injected V8 and it was alot of fun too, but still not fast.

@davidfoster5321 Nope. The Sylcone was twice as fast. Dakota had 8.7s 0-60, Syclone had 4.3s 0-60.

The Shelby Dakota doesn't have an electric fan because Shelby decided to give it one for better performance, it has said fan because the original Dakota was never designed to accommodate a V8 and therefore couldn't fit the mechanical fan/fan clutch, and that's why the Shelby Dakota has 5 more horsepower than the same 318 in a contemporary Dodge Ram pickup... it's also why the 91+ Dakota that could be had with a V8 had a nose that was not flat like this first gen Dakota but was instead more convex in order to give the room for the 318 and fan/fan clutch assembly.

That makes sense. Surely doing just for those 5hp wouldnt make much sense as a mod in comparison to other things that could have been done.
