1978 Dodge Lil Red Express on 2040-cars
Churchville, Maryland, United States
|
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.

Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?
Tue, 16 Sep 2014The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
eBay Find of the Day: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 with 504 miles
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It's typically hard to find early examples of the Dodge Viper that haven't been crashed or modified, but one eBay seller has a showroom-fresh version of the V10 roadster up for sale worthy of an eBay Find of the Day.
With just 504 miles on the odometer (according to the description and not the images) and "no defects at all," this 1994 Viper is a rare find indeed. Tack on the Buy It Now price of just $37,500 and it seems like a steal - especially when checking out the prices and conditions of other early Vipers currently listed on eBay.
Even after spending months ogling the all-new 2014 SRT Viper, it's hard to ignore the raw beauty of the original open-top model. From the three-spoke wheels to the calf-searing side pipes, everything about this Viper looks just the way it did when it rolled off the line almost 20 years ago. The seller even says that the top and windows have never been installed meaning there are no scratches anywhere on this car!
