The Dodge Dakota convertible, according to forum poster “dakotaquadsport,” was the result of a 1988 contract with ASC, the American conversion shop. In 1989, Dodge sold 2,842 Dakota convertibles, but that apparently saturated the market; just 909 were made in 1990 and a mere eight in 1991, made to fulfill the contract with ASC. The convertibles came in 4x2 and 4x4 varieties. Standard equipment included a five-speed manual transmission, fog lamps, padded rollbar, velour seats, power windows and locks, rear anti-lock brakes, full gauge package, 3.9 V-6, and tilt and cruise control. Air conditioning and an automatic transmission were the only options. The convertible top itself was manually operated.

For 1989, all Dakota convertibles were based on the Dakota Sport, and were painted red, white, or black; for 1990, there were Dakota SE models with blue available, and “supposedly four cylinder five speed trucks available.” One person claimed to have a black 1990 Dakota SE V6 Dakota convertible without power options.

Its not a convertible

That's called a 'Phantom' roof. An over-padded vinyl roof imitating a convertible top with what's called 'Hammer-on Binding' on the top rear edge. That's the same stuff used on a real convertible to hide the staples on the rear bow. Also has fake ridges to make it look like it has bows under the roof.
Mopar liked to do this in the '80's & ;90's on vehicles like the Magnum. They don't fold down. It has the stock roof under all that B.S!
Butt ugly! That roof & that truck!
Poor truck!
Shouldn't have parked it where it is.
Shoulda just kept going and parked it right off the end of the wharf!

[silverado13]

i believe in different levels of customization of a vehicle, i think this would go into the full sustom catagory, id love to see one but its too much for me

 

[sierra4.8]

Yea an actual convertible gmt800 would be pretty cool to see though but its definitely not my style
