That rear console could have come from any of the Big Three American automakers. Carroll Shelby's history with Ford is obviously well known. He had the Dodge/Mopar relationship, as this video and the Shelby Daytona demonstrate. And, at this time, he was also building the Shelby Series 1, which was largely composed of GM parts (Olds 4.0 v8, GM switchgear up the wazoo). I guarantee, Bro was boys with every janitor and security guard in Detroit - anything to get him into any warehouse, storage closet, or parts caddy he might need. Total legend. American hero.

You seem to not understand how Shelby works. They're a massive manufacturer. You keep talking about Dodge wouldn't have made this and that. Dodge made the base of this thing, nothing else. Shelby buys 300 of them then designs and makes (or has made) all the upgrade parts. The center console wouldn't have been in a Dodge, you wasted your time looking for it. Shelby bought 300 of them from an aftermarket company, it's just a random generic van front seat console.

Back in the 90s I had a 94 Supra TT , Black with No Wing, with a few mods: downpipe, turbotimer, greddy exhaust, nothing major, but it went pretty good! I was on a pretty empty Toronto neighbourhood street around 11am and was approaching a Stop Sign when a Blue Dodge Dakota (The truck version of this ^^ SUV) pulled beside. We both looked over and decided to GO! All I saw was Truck Bed and License Plate! It was one of the fastest trucks I had ever seen. It just hooked and quietly fcked off! When we got to the next light he told me it had the 5.9 but with a Turbo Kit he put together running 18 pounds of Boost. His BOOSTED V8 wrecked my I6 TT. LOL!

There we go. Back to Dougy, weird cars again. Very nice.

Doug is the kinda guy who will chase a car on foot Terminator 2 style if his Doug Database detects the car is sufficiently quirky with many features.

This is the stuff we love and come here for. Reviews of modern cars are a dime a dozen. Nobody is reviewing cars like this. And that's why it's great!

Stacy Chrysler Dodge & Jeep in Owensboro Kentucky had one of these back in 1998-1999 when I was a salesman. It was crazy and especially since the blue Dodge viper coupe was so intriguing. This was the Hellcat Durango of the time.

My Grandpa had one of these, ended up selling it to someone in Cali in the mid to late 2000s. It was such a cool car, never realized how cool or special it was given I was just a kid at the time, and that isn't the stereotypical form factor of what a kid thinks a "cool car" is

This is an absolute certified "hell yeah brother" moment. Been waiting for you to review one of these for YEARS.

The joy in his face when he accelerated and the whine of the supercharger is a match made in heaven and music to my ears

My art teacher in 9th grade had one of these and he loved it so much, I never knew it was such a unique quirky vehicle. Love you Mr. P! from Long Island

Hey Doug that's an aftermarket center console between the rear seats, it might even be an older version of the "Clutter Catcher" that was sold at WalMart back in the day.

I think the front center console in the back Singer console should’ve been joined in the middle and made us one long supercar looking console.

@Thundrbolt-tj4qk

The supercharger is only 1/3 the size of a hellcat supercharger, but you are correct. Those old V8s had stupidly low compression ratios and poor flowing heads that limited power output greatly, and don't even get me started on how much power the drivetrain leeched from the motor too

It's weird how they went like 98% of the way there leaving out just a few bits. Such as not just making the hood vents functional (or at least marginally functional by at least being actually vent holes), and skipping a few trim pieces with the carbon fiber replacements (window/lock controls on the door, and the map light area at the top, are a few I noticed). Also Doug mentioning the octane knock warning sticker but not mentioning the quirkier related item right below it. The actual like... Knock guage system that measured knock from low to high (as if any is acceptable). I also would have liked to know if it was RWD or AWD/4WD. Durangos had an option for either, but would have been interesting to know if this version was only offered in RWD. Either way a pretty interesting vehicle. It wasn't even "fast" for the time with a 7.1 0-60mph time. A stock Grand Prix GTP of the same era would do 0-60 in 6.6 for example (and that's not a limited edition, or directly sport focused vehicle). Definitely fairly quick for an SUV of the time though, and the more impressive part is probably the massive brake/suspension upgrades, as well as the interior changes. I feel like they could have went the extra 2% more with getting at least a little more power out of it, as well as finishing out those extra details. Then it could have done the part, instead of just looking it. Still it's really a cool vehicle, and this one is definitely a time capsule version.

Love these first gen Durangos so much. This and the Jeep ZJ 5.9 are truly peak 90s SUVs imo. Rugged, utilitarian, AND fast. It’s extremely wishful thinking, but I wish Stellants would someday build a modern Durango on a shortened RAM platform instead of a crossover. Make it a real SUV again.
