Whether it's the diesel engine that gets the least amount of credit or the rarest of all Jeep CJs, Dakota Black restores and collects them both. The elusive Nissan SD33 diesel engine might be underrated, but it had a place in time when it powered American cars and trucks. Most think the CJ-6 was Jeep's rarest CJ model, but the uniquely designed, purpose built and misunderstood CJ-10 holds that title. Dakota Black and his family work together and share their unique interest in collecting and restoring SD33 engines and CJ-10s. Not only do they share their hobby, but they own and manage one of the Pacific Northwest's most respected automotive repair shops, Unlimited Service.
On this episode, Chris and Dakota discuss how he ended up collecting and restoring these unique automotive oddities, the history behind the SD33 and CJ-10 and how they became part of American automotive history out of necessity.
