1979 Dodge Little Red Express on 2040-cars
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States
|
Here for sale is a 1979 Dodge Little Red Express. I bought this truck on ebay in July of 2007, and it has been in my garage since. I have accumulated a LOT of parts to do a full restoration. I've lost interest and need the storage space, so my loss is your gain! This truck is very original, has numbers matching original engine and tranny. When I bought this truck, it had been in storage in New Mexico for 17 years and had 44605 miles on it, so I didn't drive it much as it has 44641 now. I believe the odometer is accurate. It has a black interior with the split bucket seat option, needs a new seat cover which is included. I bought a new cover from Dodge Connection and it is the OEM replacement cover. It has factory A/C, which is not charged. It has not been repainted or restored, but is in original condition. There is no rust at all! The wood in the bed is the original painted red and needs replacing. Included is new oak replacement boards, you can varnish them or paint them red to keep it original. The wheels are original, but need replating. The tires have lots of tread, but are age-checked. All 4 shocks have been replaced. The decorative wood on the side of the box is original and all there. You can decide if you want to sand them down and revarnish, or use them for patterns to make new ones. The carpet is in excellent condition and would just need a good shampooing. The engine has the correct code stamped on the block for the Little Red. The engine runs well and the truck starts right up and drives, so it is easily driven on a transport. Other parts that go with the truck in random order: NOS parking brake cables, OEM replacement door weatherstrips, and window guides for both door windows, NOS dealer install cruise control kit, used AM-FM 8 track tape player, volt/vacuum gauge with bezels, factory tachometer with bezel, 2 used "Tuff" steering wheels, NOS EGR tube, used exhaust manifolds, (the truck has headers, but I was intending to put the cast exhaust manifolds back on), exterior screw kit and interior screw kit from Dodge Connection, repro door decals, radiator overflow tank, washer fluid tank with pump, limited slip center section for the rear differential, 1979 Dodge Truck Shop Manual, 1978-1981 Dodge Truck Parts Manual, aftermarket power door lock kit, OEM replacement air cleaner decal, and a 1979 Dodge Truck laminated wiring diagram. I might have missed something, but it all goes with the truck! The Little Reds were only made in 1978 & 1979, and they were the fastest production vehicles both years. there were only 5118 1979 Little Reds, so there aren't many left. You will look long and hard to find another one this nice for restoration. the 360 was specially equipped for the Little Reds, including special heads, intake manifold, rods, pistons, etc. The 727 transmission was "beefed" up and includes a special 2500 stall converter. These trucks are a blast to drive and turn heads wherever you go! Please email me at investwithmark@hotmail.com with questions, or for more pictures. I would encourage you to come and take a look for yourself! You won't be sorry. |

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier
Wed, Jun 3 2015Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers. Mopar Enhances FCA Owner Apps - Redesigned FCA Owner apps offer a wide range of VIN-specific information - Owners can access maintenance schedules, service history, recall notices and more - "Augmented reality" function, beginning with 2015 models, allows owners to use camera feature on mobile devices to scan and identify instrument panel icons - Industry-first Accident Assistant feature helps owners easily document important accident information and quickly locate a certified repair facility - Individual brand versions of the app support all FCA brand vehicles - FCA Owner apps are free to download for both iOS and Android mobile devices May 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar brand has redesigned and enhanced its suite of FCA Owner apps, putting more resources than ever at owners' fingertips with easier access to vehicle and lifestyle information.
