shelbymotorsports Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Has Anyone Ever Heard Of This Truck? 1990 Shelby Power Wagon. Yes that truck is legit but it is not a "1990 Shelby Power Wagon", it is a 1990 Dodge Ram D150 Rod Hall Edition truck with final assembly performed by Shelby Autos in Whittier California.

Larry T Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 If this statement is true "build in southern California by Shellby automobiles" wouldnt it have a CSM number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 If this statement is true "build in southern California by Shellby automobiles" wouldnt it have a CSM number? No as it wasn't a Shelby product. It does have a Rod Hall dash plaque, in this instance truck #15 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The 1990 Dodge Ram Rod Hall Edition truck was an attempt by Chrysler to keep Shelby Auto's alive after the cancellation of the 1990 Shelby CSX and the 1990 Shelby Dakota. Unfortunately the Rod Hall truck was a sales failure that coincided with Carroll's failing heart which brought to the end of Shelby Auto's, Whittier California. Shelby Auto's was also going to build a Don Garlits Supercharged Dodge Omni, another vehicle without the Shelby name on it, but that too ended abruptly. The economy had started a downturn in 1990 which certainly didn't help. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glhs0075 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Great info Steve, it's nice to learn something new. Is there any Joel Jackson input? I know that in "Fast Days" he indicates that off road racing was a passion of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLHS0136 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Nice looking truck. Has that familiar steering wheel. Did it have a 5.9 under the hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Nice looking truck. Has that familiar steering wheel. Did it have a 5.9 under the hood? 5.2 just like the Shelby Dakota except that the RH Ram had a belt driven cooling fan so it was rated at 170hp.

GLHS0136 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 5.2 just like the Shelby Dakota except that the RH Ram had a belt driven cooling fan so it was rated at 170hp. Steve Makes sense now why the Shelby 5.2 hop up package was also listed in the Rod Haul section of the Shelby performance catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrampage1 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Surprisingly, I can still see the ad from eBay. Just wanted to point out a small discrepancy in that seller's ad. The seller states that 33 were produced. I've seen higher dash plaque numbers. I've seen over the years, a white and a red Rod Hall Signature Series. The dash plaque serial numbers on those were in the 30s. The white one was like #35 or #36. Somewhere, I have a picture of the dash plaque of that white truck. Also, the truck left Dodge as a factory 4x4. The proper designation is a Dodge W150, not a Dodge D150 (2 wheel drive). The dash plaque denotes this as being a Dodge W150S.
