This was originally a 383 car and is a real 500 with the bucket seats and center console and floor shifter. It still had the original Certi-Card under the hood from the factory and a lot of original parts still on the car. The car was sold to the 2nd owner and the motor was removed back in the early 80's and replaced with a 426 Hemi and used for street racing for a few years and then a 1970 440 which is the motor in it now was installed in the late 80's, the motor was rebuilt in the early 90's and then sold to the guy I bought it from who drove it on weekends and he put the aluminum heads. aluminum intake and new carb on it. When I got it the car had still not been tuned after the install, it would start perfectly and idle fine and drive fine until you stepped down on it and it would back fire thru the intake and hesitate so I messed with it a bit and moved the vac advance to the other side of the carb and got it to run better but harder to start and idle so I purchased new jet and metering rods but never installed them, I got busy and never had time to mess with it and not winter is here I cant do anything until spring and some things have changed in my life that force me to sell it now. I'm not going to give the car away but my reserve is less than I have in the car and a fair price for now and low price compared to Spring prices. It does have handicap driving hand controls in it so if you are handicap you can drive it but it has standard brakes and standard steering and it is a BEAR to drive with one hand and try to turn while starting out or turning around. if you do not need them I will take them out. Notice please!!! I do have a loan on this car at a well known Credit Union and I will draw up a complete Bill Of Sale detailing all parts of the transaction once I can verify funds I will let the car go and when I receive the title I will sign and copy then send a copy and mail the original. I have sold cars and bought cars like this without any issues and will give you contact information from the lender as well.

Drivetrain: 440 motor with Edelbrock alum heads, Edelbrock Alum intake, Edelbrock 650 4brl carb, HD 727 rebuilt trans with shift kit and TCI 10" Street Fighter Converter, 3.55 posi rear,

Issues: Wipers not working , heater not working, drivers seat foam pieces coming out on floor may need new foam, passenger seat has a small tear, air cleaner is cut out on the bottom to fit over the throttle linkage I purchased a new one but it hit the hood and would not close so it needs a low profile air cleaner, few scratches, small bubbling area in low quarters,

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

2014 Dodge Durango leaks ahead of NY rollout

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Even though Chrysler will reportedly discontinue the Dodge Durango after the current model's lifespan - said to be around 2016 - that isn't stopping the automaker from improving its full-size, three-row SUV. The vehicle won't debut at the New York Auto Show until tomorrow, but images are already leaking out ahead of the embargo lift, and they show that the 2014 model is getting even more aggressive styling to go with more technology inside and out.
Dodge limited its early press shots of the new Durango to just the R/T trim level, but this new look adds a meaner look to this model with more dramatic projector-beam headlights along with a "floating" crosshair grille and a restyled fascia. At the rear of the Durango, LED racetrack taillights show a family resemblance to the Charger and Dart, while a new rear fascia adds to the styling while also allowing for an integrated trailer hitch.
On the tech side, the instrument panel looks to have been redesigned to include a standard seven-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) gauge cluster, and it also appears as if Chrysler's well-liked UConnect system has been updated with the 8.4-inch touchscreen found in other Chrysler vehicles. The 2013 model's conventional console shifter has been replaced by a rotary knob for gear selection, suggesting that there are transmission changes afoot as well. We'll have more details when the silks slide off this big boy tomorrow, so stay tuned.
