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. |

FCA recalls 570,000 SUVs from Jeep and Dodge over fire woes
Sun, Dec 27 2015Fiat Chrysler US has issued two recalls covering a total of about 570,000 Jeep and Dodge models. The first concerns vanity mirror wiring in the Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011 and 2012 model years, and in Dodge Durango units built before September 12, 2012. The automaker recalled almost 900,000 units last year to repair the issue, then faced more issues this year when the fires continued in repaired vehicles. This new recall seeks to resolve the issue, FCA saying that the post-recall fires happened in a tiny percentage of vehicles equipped with a specific wiring package. This recall is for 352,831 total units in the US, another 26,478 in Canada, 13,037 in Mexico, and 84,330 internationally. No injuries or deaths have been reported. FCA says it will inform customers as to when they can schedule a service visit to remedy the issue. The second recall takes aim at 60,107 examples of the Jeep Compass and Patriot from the 2015 model year in the US, plus 5,755 in Canada, 3,351 in Mexico, and 23,995 in other markets. Those models could suffer from an out-of-position clamp on the power steering fluid line. The error could allow fluid to leak, increasing the risk of a fire if the fluid ends up on a hot surface. In the case of a complete loss of fluid, drivers will need to use a lot more effort to steer. The automaker reports no injuries or accidents, and will advise customers when to head to the dealer for service.
