Thanks for viewing my Dignified Junk & Homesick Antiques !
Up for bids is my 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express ~ Restored in 2009 from the ground up.
NO RESERVE~ HIGH BIDDER WILL GET IT!
All factory correct , this was originally an Arizona truck, so had no rust to begin with.
I had intended to customize the interior but have not been able to finish due to family illness.
ALL 5 ORIGINAL SLOTTED WHEELS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE TRUCK !
Also have a NOS dash bezel that will go with it, a speedometer, and ignition assembly.
I also have a lot of the original documents from 1979 original purchase; ie~ build sheet, title, etc.
Have all receipts from the restoration; engine built out with all Mancini racing parts
Great daily driver ~ THIS IS A REAL LIL RED, NOT A CLONE !!!!!
only 116,096 miles / 7,000 miles on since rebuild.
Has a frame-mounted tow package <
It will need a new heater/ac switch and bezel. AC is new but has a slow leak somewhere that will need soldered.
Also needs a nice new tuff wheel ! Bed wood is weathered due to Florida sun but was brand new when rebuilt, and would not take much to put a fresh
coat of stain/ spar to bring it back to life..
This has been my daily driver and has been totally faithful !
Very nice, and screaming fast !

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers
Sat, 15 Nov 2014Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...
Mopar '13 Dart will roll into Chicago next week
Thu, 31 Jan 2013We think this officially counts as a tradition. Every year going back to 2010, Mopar has rolled out a limited edition version of a popular product from the Chrysler Group portfolio. First it was the Mopar '10 Challenger, then the Mopar '11 Charger, then last year's Mopar '12 300, and this year it will be the Mopar '13 Dart, which will make its official world debut next week at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
Limited in number to just 500 units, the Mopar '13 Dart is no mere appearance package, though the demeanor of the Dart will be murdered out with a gloss black finish, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a set of Mopar blue stripes and a mean-looking Mopar ground effects kit. Likewise, the interior is touched up with leather seats (a blue one for the driver and black hides for the passengers), gloss black and black chrome trim, blue accent stitching, a sport pedal kit and other Mopar interior accessories.
Turning our attention back to the mechanical bits, the Mopar '13 Dart comes with the car's most powerful engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir four (shared with Fiat 500 Abarth) that's paired with a manual transmission. Those big, black wheels get wrapped in low profile 225/40R18 performance tires, and keeping everything in check is an upgraded brake kit with slotted rotors. The steering has also been calibrated for performance, the suspension lowered seven millimeters, and the exhaust tuned for better engine breathing.
Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
