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 |

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure
Mon, 30 Jun 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad
Fri, 18 Apr 2014This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.
NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park
Tue, Aug 25 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Unattended vehicle rollaway Date Investigation Opened: AUG 20, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15030 Component(s): POWER TRAIN All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) DODGE DURANGO 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2014-2015 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 14 complaints (VOQs) alleging that after being placed in Park the subject vehicles have then rolled away from their parked position. The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.
