1979 Dodge Little Red Express on 2040-cars
Altamont, New York, United States
|
This is a 1979 Dodge Little Red Express. Made only in 1978 and 1979, this special model has unique trim and came equipped with the 360 interceptor engine. When introduced, it had the fastest quarter-mile time of any american car tested. This one is very restorable, and should be a fun winter project. These are really beautiful trucks and lots of fun to drive. Although the floor of the cab is badly rusted, much of the truck is in fine condition. It has relatively few miles, and the engine makes good oil pressure. This truck runs. It can be driven on and off a trailer and runs well enough to demonstrate that the transmission and other running gear is working properly. It has been in storage for several years and the buyer should recognize that this is not a hop-in-and-drive-off truck. Included in the purchase of this truck is a bucket seat set with console, and a set of 4 slotted wheels which I believe are correct original parts for the Little Red Express. I acquired this truck when my father passed away, and can provide all the necessary papers for legal transfer of ownership. This truck has a clear New York State tittle.
If you have any questions about this truck contact me, and I'll do my best to get you answers. Pick-up and shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. I have many parts for these late 70's dodge trucks, including another Little Red (with a serial number only 5 digits off from this one!) Check my other items to see that truck. |

2022 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger, Charger recalled for faulty TPMS sensors
Mon, Jul 25 2022Stellantis is recalling some of its longest-running models to address a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor defect that may be erroneously indicating a low-pressure condition — 52,340 cars shipped with sensors built with batteries that may fail prematurely, triggering a TPMS light when there is no actual safety threat. A TPMS light that remains constantly illuminated is not only annoying but it could also mask a real tire pressure loss, which is a safety hazard. Stellantis says the production range for potentially impacted models runs from September 7, 2021 to June 9, 2022, indicating it took some time for issues to crop up in the wild, so just because no issue has crept up yet, doesn't mean it won't later on. Notices have begun circulating to dealers and should be sent to owners by early September. In the meantime, owners should verify any tire pressure warnings independently before driving their vehicles. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Help us decipher the cryptic license plate on the latest Dodge Demon teaser
Thu, Jan 26 2017If you've been following along, you know that the slow rollout of the Dodge Demon has been filled with hints and teasers of what's to come. Every release encourages fans to watch the videos over and over to try and catch any hidden info. Last week, brief a glimpse of the wheels in a video hinted at this week's reveal, 18x11 inch lightweight wheels wrapped in what the DOT barely considers street-legal rubber. Along with details on the custom Nitto tires, Dodge released an image of the Demon in all its wide-body glory. Planted on the back of the car is a cryptic Michigan license plate that reads #2567@35. It's obvious that this is another clue, but after a few hours of note taking, Google searches, and general discussion, we can't figure out what it means. We're throwing this out there in the hope that someone has better luck than we did. Here are some of the things we've ruled out: Address or coordinates 1/4 mile ET 1/4 mile trap speed Power Supercharger boost pressure Some event in 1982 A hint at gear or final drive ratio If you have some idea, post it in the comments.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
