1978 Lil Red Express Dodge Barn Find 31,679 Original Miles Numbers Correct Mopar on 2040-cars
Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is this exceptionally solid, original, unmolested example of a true numbers correct 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express pickup . All numbers correct from the correct stamping on the 360 engine to the VIN on the frame. I even have the numbered tags that match up the proper cab to the proper bed. It even still has the factory 8 track player intact. Purchased out of North Carolina a couple years ago with all intentions of redoing it, I find myself with not enough time and too many projects. Its time to start letting some Mopars go. Just can't see myself getting to it anytime soon.Truck was found sitting in a barn in North Carolina that had sat there for close to 20 years. Mileage is correct on the truck showing 31,679 miles and is very evident with the condition of the truck. Very solid with no major rot issues. A few small pinholes in the drivers floorboard and some rot along the inside bedfloor seam where it meets the wood slat on the one side is about the extent of the rot. Otherwise VERY VERY solid. You will not be disappointed with the condition. All the body panels are original to the truck. No indications of previous patchwork or fill work being done on the lower sections.With a total production of these trucks just over 2,100 there is less than 700 known to exist. Since purchase the only things I have done with it is a carb rebuild, new plugs, wires and oil change just to get it running. To avoid contamination, I have been running it from a bottle of gas under the hood until the tank can be cleaned and lines changed. I started to purchase some items for the truck and are all included in the sale. I bought another set of factory wheels that are currently installed on the truck with (4) almost new tires. You will also receive the other wheels that came with the truck and the spare. Also included is a new set of fuel lines and brake lines from Right Stuff. Also included is a new set of door weatherstrips and a new wood kit for the tailgate and bedsides (less 1 small piece) (see picture). Original interior is in great shape. Seat is nice as is the carpet. Aged but original and useable. It will need both armrests, glovebox door, shifter knob and a seat hinge cover.With a good detail, and going through of the mechanics of the truck there really is no reason you couldn't get this back on the road quickly without restoring it right away. Its that respectable. Even the exhaust stacks are in great condition and not all rusted up. I am asking for a 1,000.00 Non refundable deposit in form of bank check/wire transfer within 48 hours of winning bid. Balance due within 14 days in form of cash upon pickup or if third party will be picking the vehicle up truck must be paid for in full and ample time allowed for clearing of payment. Vehicle will not be released until funds are cleared and secure. Vehicle must be picked up within 30 days unless prior arrangements are made and agreed upon by buyer and seller. Please, if you do not have the funds available for this purchase, don't bid. Its that simple! Feel free to Email me to make arangements to come look at the truck if you would like. I have a clear PA title in my name for the truck. Buyer will be responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs associated with shipping. Truck is sold as is with no warranty. If you like originality then this is definatly the one for you. Great investment potential. Regardless of your tastes in cars, whether it be a Ford, Chevy ETC. Everyone knows a Lil Red Express.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport
Tue, 29 Jan 2013We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.

Stellantis and LG launch joint venture for North American battery plant
Mon, Oct 18 2021Stellantis has struck a preliminary deal with battery maker LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America, as the world's No. 4 automaker rolls out its 30 billion euro ($35 billion) electrification plan. Global automakers are investing billions of euros to accelerate a transition to low-emission mobility and prepare for a progressive phase-out of internal combustion engines. Stellantis and LGES's joint venture will produce battery cells and modules at a new facility with an annual capacity of 40 gigawatt hours (GWh), the two firms said on Monday. No financial details of the deal were provided. The plant is scheduled to start production by the first quarter of 2024, with groundbreaking expected in the second quarter of 2022, the companies said in their statement. Its location is under review and will be announced later. Stellantis, formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has said it wants to secure more than 130 GWh of global battery capacity by 2025 and more than 260 GWh by 2030. The batteries produced under the deal will supply Stellantis' U.S., Canadian and Mexican assembly plants for installation in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, supporting its goal of e-vehicles making up more than 40% of its U.S. sales by 2030. The company, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Opel and U.S. best-sellers Jeep and Ram, earlier this year announced it would invest more than 30 billion euros through 2025 on electrifying its vehicle lineup. Stellantis has said it would build three battery plants in Europe and two in North America, including at least one in the United States. Intesa Sanpaolo analyst Monica Bosio said the deal was positive, and a further step ahead in Stellantis' electrification process. It comes weeks after Stellantis and its partner TotalEnergies agreed to open up their battery cell joint venture ACC to Daimler, to expand their European sourcing of battery cells. Stellantis is also targeting more than 70% of sales in Europe to be of low-emission vehicles by 2030, and aims to make the total cost of owning an EV equal to that of a gasoline-powered model by 2026.

Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
