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.

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.
Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper
Fri, 08 Feb 2013It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.
