Shelby is perhaps most well-known for its Mustangs; however, the company has tried its hand at plenty of other performance vehicles, including the 1989 Dodge Shelby Dakota. Only about 1,500 Dodge Shelby Dakotas were built, making it a rare collector’s edition. While most Dakotas were equipped with small four or six cylinder engines, Shelby managed to cram a 5.2 liter Magnum V8 under the hood. Add in some other modifications and the engine was cranking out 175 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft of torque. This enabled the truck to hit 60 in a respectable 8.5 seconds.
