1978 dodge Lil Red Express pickup. it is a real lil red, not a clone. the S in the VIN denotes lil red. they only made these trucks in 1978 and 1979, and this is the more desirable year as the 1978 had no emission controls on the engine or exhaust. this is also the lowest production numbers, they only made about 2100 of these, and it is estimated that only 800 or so are left. also this year had the round headlights and sport hood. it has a factory high performance 360ci v-8, auto transmission, power brakes, and power steering. all four tires were replaced new approx. a year ago, front brake hoses, battery, fuel pump, and ignition were replaced less than a year ago. the truck runs and drives good. I am sure it could use a tune up. the bed wood needs to be replaced, the stainless strips are good. the exterior wood on the bed needs attention, but is all there. drivers seat has some cracks in the vinyl, the radio is not working, also the horn just stopped working (I am going to check the wires and fuse) the wheels have surface rust on the chrome. the only rust I see on the exterior of the body is some small pinholes on top of the drivers side rear fender (I tried to show it in one of my photos) there are a few very small minor dings here and there. truck could use a new paint job and decal kit. the decals, bed wood, and other items are readily available on ebay and other sources. this truck only has 61,000 original miles. it sat outside for quite awhile before I got it . I have tried to give a very detailed description, but feel free to ask any questions that you may have. buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping on this vehicle.

1970 Hemi Challenger is a family heirloom with serious muscle

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Petrolicious turns up the emotion in its latest video about a family's connection to their 1970 Dodge Challenger. The orange muscle car that gets the spotlight here is a remarkably beautiful vehicle, but the story of a father and his sons at the core of this clip might leave you feeling a little misty eyed. Juan Escalante is the current owner of this Challenger, but it belonged to his dad first. Juan's father spotted the iconic muscle car during the 1969 Detroit Auto Show and had to have one. He soon placed an order for the orange '70 Challenger R/T with the rare combination for that year of a 426 Hemi V8 and a four-speed manual gearbox. The family even brought the coupe with them when they moved to Venezuela in 1972, and local fans dubbed it El Hemi. However, parts were scarce for the muscle car in that country, and it returned to the US in 1996 for a restoration. Now, the rumbling Challenger with its Coke-bottle profile and black hood is the world's most awesome family heirloom for the Escalantes. In this poignant video, Petrolicious shows how the coupe connects Juan to his father. Related Video:

FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report

Mon, Jul 25 2016

Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.
