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.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.
