I am selling my 1979 Lil Red Express truck. This is a true and original Lil Red Express. It is a true original survivor. It has 76,700 original miles. It is a blast to drive. This little red express has never been restored it stills wears its original sheet metal, paint, etc !!!!!! It is hard to find a 35 year old vehicle this original and in this condition! Tons of documentation including owners manual, build sticker, and service records! The truck was driven daily up till 1990 in New Mexico at which point the elderly gentlemen that owned it decided it had too much power and gave it back to his sons family. His son was the original car dealer that sold the truck new and had gotten it for his father. For the past twenty four years the truck has been stored in a dry garage and has only came out for one or two shows a year. The truck has been started routinely to keep the engine lubed. As you probalby already know this little truck was the fastest U.S. production vehicle made and would toast the competition including the infamous corvette. This truck is a hoot to drive. I really enjoy getting it out. I have the original build sticker and I beleive every maintenance record for the truck. I have a binder atleast an inch full of documentation. The truck had AC installed in the early 80s and it will need recharged. The truck runs and drives great. It has sat a lot and could use a tune up and a good run to blow the carbon out of the system. The engine, trans, etc.. are original. The paint is driver quality, there are chips and dings as expected for 76,000 miles of driving. The gauges work, lights work, heater works, runs and drives great. To give an idea how solid this truck is and the extent of being a survivor - it still retains the original pine bed painted medium canyon red. Most of these beds have rotted out and been replaced with Oak. The original pine bed is still solid and in nice condition for its age. The interior is in nice condition and is original never restored, the only real damage is that the glove box cover has cracking, The rest of the dash is fine and this will be an easy fix to replace the glove box door. It has a black cover on ti now and looks nice. The truck has new tires and still retains the original rims in great condition. The truck came original with cruise control that is real cool to find on a 35 year old truck. The cruise control has a short in the switch and usually takes a couple of tries to get it set but then it works well. The truck has anAM/FM radio with eight track player and the original speakers. The wood was revarnished one time and is in good condition. This truck is a ton of fun and gets soooo much attention!! Here is a link to view the truck starting and running http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyxQNIVZ_bM&feature=youtu.be Here is a link to view a walk around of the truck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3iMJ1tv4K4&feature=youtu.be Here is a link to view the truck driving, I live on a dirt road so sorry for the dust in the video but you can still see how fun it is to drive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOxVvN9bq9s&feature=youtu.be In 1982 the owner purchased replacement door decals that are still in the box in the truck these are original MOPAR not aftermarket I also have a bumper that has a hitch that fits the truck and looks nice, I will include, I was considering pulling other cars to the car show with it. I also have a spare tire with an original lil red express matching rim (hard to find) the tire should be replaced on the spare but the rim is in nice condition, I also have an assembly to hold the spare under the truck. I have a clear Idaho title in my name. Thanks for looking |

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango still catching fire after recall
Thu, May 7 2015Automakers issue recalls all the time. It's part of the cost of doing business. We just assume that once the recall has been carried out, the problem in question has been fixed. But that's not always the case, as this latest investigation being undertaken by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration goes to show. The problem stems back to a recall issued by Chrysler last summer. It revolved rather the sun visor in the SUVs it makes at its Jefferson North Assembly Plant – specifically, the screw affixing the sun visor could end up rubbing against the wiring for the lamp in the vanity mirror, potentially causing an electrical short and even a fire. 62 such short circuits, 38 fires and three injuries reported, prompting Chrysler to recall nearly 900,000 units of the 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango (over 650,000 of them in the United States). The plastic spacers they installed to rectify the problem, however, may not have done the trick. Eight reports (but none involving injuries) have been filed with the NHTSA regarding the same issue recurring, spurring the government agency to open a new investigation into the matter. If deemed necessary, the NHTSA could ask FCA to issue another recall to fix the issue again, which we may necessitate the installation of a fuze to prevent any such the electric short. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Headliner Fires Date Investigation Opened: MAY 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: RQ15003 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , INTERIOR LIGHTING Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: On July 1st, 2014 Chrysler (FCA US LLC) issued safety recall 14V-391 to remedy a wiring-related fire hazard on the headliner of approximately 661,888 model year (MY) 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured between January 5, 2010 and December 11, 2013. The recall was in response to the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) investigation EA14-001 during which data provided by Chrysler indicates that the fire is caused by an electrical short in the vanity lamp wiring for either one of the sun visors mounted on the vehicle. The sun visors are mounted to the roof of the vehicle through the headliner with three metal screws.
Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
