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.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

SRT back to Dodge, Dart SRT, new Challenger, Charger and Caravan's death outlined in 5-yr plan

Tue, 06 May 2014

The onslaught of news from Fiat Chrysler's layout of five-year plans continued with Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis this morning, including the unexpected announcement that SRT was coming back into the fold.
After just a few years existing as an independent entity within the Fiat Chrysler universe, an unceremonious press release hit in conjunction with today's lineup of announcements, saying "the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand." Group CEO Sergio Marchionne thanked SRT headman Ralph Gilles for his dedication to the high-performance wing, calling out is efforts in expanding the vehicle lineup and including more customized models. He did not reference disappointing SRT Viper sales today, but we sense there's a bit of subtext.
With the SRT reunion at Dodge, it's appropriate that some of the most exciting product announcements for the next five years have to do with upcoming performance products. First out of the gate will be a refresh for that flagging Viper in 2015, which comes as little surprise.
