Full professional ground up, body off frame, highly detailed, quality restoration done to the highest professional standards on a 22,000 mile California Truck. There is more than $50,000 in documented costs for the restoration. I purchased this truck in October of 2002 when there was 22,900 miles on the odometer. There is currently 25,850 miles on the odometer. The original owner was a gentleman in California. Then a long time lover of Lil Red's asked Randy Hallman of Randy Hallman Specialty Car's to find him a Dodge Lil Red Express. That's how the truck got from California to northern MI. The new owner then had Randy do the ground up restoration on the truck with no expense spared. Lil Red spent the next couple of years in a show room built just for her in the new owner's newly built Dodge dealership. In the meantime his collection of Dodge vehicles grew and grew. I guess his wife was less than pleased. Long story short, the Lil Red Truck was sold to a new dealership in New Mexico and she spent time in their showroom. I have been the very proud owner since Oct. 2002. She has been garage kept all of these years and lovingly cared for. This summer is the first year that my truck has ever been shown. In four shows she took first place in the stock truck class 3 times. I really was amazed at how many people stopped and admired my truck. I get thumbs up from random people on the street all the time. This truck drives and looks amazing! I've had my fun, now it's your turn!

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
