Default One-of-One "Power Wagon" Edition Dakota

I'm interested in selling, trying to get some feedback from other dakota lovers... This 1987 Dakota was contracted from Chrysler to a company in Michigan called "Autostyle" (who, I believe, designed Ford's Edie Bouwer Edition vehicles). They wanted to release a "Power Wagon" Edition Dakota. When they began to switch over to the larger V-8 engines, they decided not to release this V-6 Dakota as a "Power Wagon". To my knowledge, this is the only "Power Wagon" Edition Dakota in the world.

First time online today... I don't really know how to use the site very well. I only registered yesterday. I have an album up. How can I give you guys access to it? I guess I assumed there would be a link to my forum from my screename ..?

the site doesn't show a link to the album by default.
I had to click on your profile to view it.

Decent looking truck, and it would be interesting to see the authenticity verified.
I'm sure you could get some decent cash out of it, if it were confirmed to be a 1 off.

I'm working on getting it verified right now. Knowing the story is one thing, but I think you're right that official papers from Autostyle would add major depth.

I found them online, but they've proven a bit difficult to track down. I'm trying to figure out if they're even in business anymore. I know that they at least moved from the location my Father purchased the truck from. He said they had it on their showroom floor for like 2 years... everything granted, it was almost 20 years ago...

Want! Especially like the seats and the giant rams head on the hood. Skip the camper shell though.
