You are bidding on a nice unrestored survivor 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express Truck. This was a very limited-production "muscle truck," and held the honor of the fastest American production vehicle in both 1978 and 1979. There were just over 5,000 made and they are already considered very rare and collectible.

This particular truck features all its' original body panels and has zero outer body rust-through; only very minor hints of surface rust where the paint has been scratched or chipped. The floors had some surface rust which was wire-brushed off and sprayed with a rust-preventative paint. The body is very straight with only a couple of minor dings. The paint is still shiny and shows well, but is not perfect; same with the decals and pin striping. Overall, the truck shows very well and gets lots of compliments.

The glass, chrome, trim, and decorative oak wood trim is in good sound condition. The exhaust stacks are in excellent condition on both sides. The original chrome slot wheels are showing some age with some chrome failing, but still look nice. The chrome step is excellent on the driver's side with no issues, and still looks nice on the passenger side with some peeling chrome plating. The glass in the driver's outside rear view mirror is broken. The wood in the bed definately needs to be replaced, and the interior needs new carpet; those are really the only things the truck "needs" other than some fine tuning and minor sorting out. I have looked online and found the bed wood kit for just over $400.00, and the carpet kit for under $130.00; these are both things anyone with two hands and basic tools can accomplish in a day.

The truck runs strong and sounds great, but could use final fine tuning and perhaps a carb service. The 3.55 rear end has been fully rebuilt, and the transmission serviced. I just went through the entire brake system including new power booster, master cylinder, front calipers and pads, and rear shoes. While not a perfect truck, it's a sound running and driving classic needing only minor cosmetics and sorting out. I've priced it to represent a bargain and leave room for the buyer to enjoy as-is, or restore.

The seat has a split in the driver's area. The dash pad is excellent, door panels very good *(no cracks on either), gauges all intact, windows all roll up and down properly, etc. The lights, turn signals, and brake lights are all properly working. Truck has power steering, power brakes, and Air Conditioning *(will need to be recharged; still there and connected).

The truck ships with its' original chrome slot wheels with nice staggered 275/235-60 Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires.

While every effort is being made to describe the vehicle accurately, it is a 34-year-old vintage classic and being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Shipping will be the full responsibility of the buyer; however, I will make myself available to your shipper for loading with 24-hour notice.

You may contact me directly at 360-936-9257 with any questions, offers, etc. Zero-feedback bidders need to please contact me prior to bidding to discuss your intentions. Please be prepared to remit payment in full within three days of auction end by certified major bank cashier's check, bank wire transfer, or cash.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.
