1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express Truck on 2040-cars
Bonifay, Florida, United States
I have the 1979 Li’l Red Express, which is a show truck,
people really enjoy looking at it and talking about it. I am the third owner of
the truck, really don’t want to sell it, I just have too many toys at this
time. Li’l Red has 90,000 actual miles on it. I have the original title, the
bill of sell to second owner and of course the papers were I purchased it. The
First owner said it was T-boned when it was around ten years old. He then had
it completely redone right. It has been garage kelp ever since. The second
owner kept in a garage on in a show room of his Dodge Dealership. I have kept it
in a garage except for shows. It is an excellent truck, and so enjoyable to
drive and show. It has the bed cover supported by wood rails, as it would have
sold as an option with it. Recently I
purchased the rails that some of them had, as options, they are weathered a
little, just need refinished, they will go with it. I have put the AM/FM/CB
radio that some came with optional also in it, because the first owner had put
a cassette player it that was not original. The original owner replaced the
Carburetor with a Throttle Body for better starts, added the running boards and
louver over the back window, and changed the wheels. It has the 360 High performance
engine, which was nicknamed the “Police Interceptor” in it, Automatic
Transmission and AC as it would have been installed as an option in its day by
the dealer. It’s solid and a great deal at $19,500. Thank you for your enquiry.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
Dukes of Hazzard reruns dropped amid Confederate flag controversy
Thu, Jul 2 2015Those Duke boys are in a mess of trouble again, as TV Land announced Wednesday that it will be dropping the classic 1980s action-comedy the Dukes of Hazzard from its roster. But it may not be Bo and Luke's fault this time. Rather, it appears to be the changing political landscape. Entertainment Weekly reached out to TV Land, which is devoted to airing episodes of classic TV series, but it had no further comment. While the network didn't say why the episodes were removed, EW speculates that the cancellation is part of the reaction to the racially motivated murder of nine people in a historic black church in Charleston, SC, last month. The shooter was often photographed carrying a Confederate flag and other trappings of white supremacy. Since the tragedy, Confederate flags are being dropped from state houses, license plates, and toys. Last month, Warner Bros. said it would stop producing toys featuring the rebel flag, including a die cast miniature version of the Dukes of Hazzard's trademark ride, The General Lee, which was a bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag plastered to the roof. The same week as the shooting, the Supreme Court decided that states can reject license plates featuring the stars and bars as part of the states' right to free speech. Nine states currently use the flag in license plates, and the ruling will allow Texas, North Carolina, and Tennessee to remove the motif from their state's plates. Georgia is also considering redesigning its plates in the wake of the shooting. For our younger readers, the Dukes Of Hazzard was a television show that aired from 1979 to 1985 on CBS. It feature the antics of the Duke boys in a fictional place called Hazzard County, GA. Related Video:
