Here for sale is a 1979 Dodge Little Red Express.  I bought this truck on ebay in July of 2007, and it has been in my garage since.  I have accumulated a LOT of parts to do a full restoration.  I've lost interest and need the storage space, so my loss is your gain!  This truck is very original, has numbers matching original engine and tranny.  When I bought this truck, it had been in storage in New Mexico for 17 years and had 44605 miles on it, so I didn't drive it much as it has 44641 now.  I believe the odometer is accurate.  It has a black interior with the split bucket seat option, needs a new seat cover which is included.  I bought a new cover from Dodge Connection and it is the OEM replacement cover.  It has factory A/C, which is not charged.  It has not been repainted or restored, but is in original condition.  There is no rust at all!  The wood in the bed is the original painted red and needs replacing.  Included is new oak replacement boards, you can varnish them or paint them red to keep it original.  The wheels are original, but need replating.  The tires have lots of tread, but are age-checked.  All 4 shocks have been replaced.  The decorative wood on the side of the box is original and all there.  You can decide if you want to sand them down and revarnish, or use them for patterns to make new ones.  The carpet is in excellent condition and would just need a good shampooing.  The engine has the correct code stamped on the block for the Little Red.  The engine runs well and the truck starts right up and drives, so it is easily driven on a transport.

Other parts that go with the truck in random order:  NOS parking brake cables, OEM replacement door weatherstrips, and window guides for both door windows, NOS dealer install cruise control kit, used AM-FM 8 track tape player, volt/vacuum gauge with bezels, factory tachometer with bezel, 2 used "Tuff" steering wheels, NOS EGR tube, used exhaust manifolds, (the truck has headers, but I was intending to put the cast exhaust manifolds back on), exterior screw kit and interior screw kit from Dodge Connection, repro door decals, radiator overflow tank, washer fluid tank with pump, limited slip center section for the rear differential, 1979 Dodge Truck Shop Manual, 1978-1981 Dodge Truck Parts Manual, aftermarket power door lock kit, OEM replacement air cleaner decal, and a 1979 Dodge Truck laminated wiring diagram.  I might have missed something, but it all goes with the truck!

The Little Reds were only made in 1978 & 1979, and they were the fastest production vehicles both years.  there were only 5118 1979 Little Reds, so there aren't many left.  You will look long and hard to find another one this nice for restoration.  the 360 was specially equipped for the Little Reds, including special heads, intake manifold, rods, pistons, etc.  The 727 transmission was "beefed" up and includes a special 2500 stall converter.  These trucks are a blast to drive and turn heads wherever you go!

Please email me at investwithmark@hotmail.com with questions, or for more pictures.  I would encourage you to come and take a look for yourself!  You won't be sorry.

2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.

Daily Driver: 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

Tue, May 26 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers who drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, reviewed by Greg Migliore. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [00:00:00] Hey, everybody. It's Greg Migliore and today I am driving a 707-horsepower Dodge Charger. That can only mean one thing: I'm driving the Hellcat. Naturally, the spotlight feature of this car is the 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. Makes 707 horsepower and 650 pound feet of torque. [00:00:30] Now naturally the engine sounds great and you can hear all of those horses going out the exhaust in back, which I think the Dodge guys have tuned really well. I think it's got one of the more unique sounds in the industry. All that horsepower will do that, but they've tuned it so there's a low kind of growl, and then it burbles and it's angry [00:01:00], it's visceral. I like it. It's intoxicating. It's different than other muscle cars. It's different than European exotics. I think it sounds great. I'm driving in sport right now which allows me to use the paddle shifters. I think it sounds a little better and the shifts of the eight-speed automatic transmission are a little bit more aggressive. For such a powerful car, Dodge did a nice job of tuning it to be actually pretty drivable. I just took a corner right there and the [00:01:30] steering offers you satisfying weight to your inputs. It's a little bit of a heavier steering, especially compared to some of the earlier generation Chargers. It's sporty, but it's not crazy. The design of the Dodge Charger is a critical element. That's why a lot of people buy this car, is it gives them that muscle car heritage look. The Hellcat has some special design cues that are also functional. You've got a couple of extra air intakes up front, keeps everything cool and breathing, the air flowing through; a nice spoiler in back [00:02:00] that helps keep the aero, and the downforce keeps you on the ground. The HID projector headlights really pop, especially at night, and in back you've got the LED taillights that spread out wide across the back end of this car like some of the great Chargers of the past. This car rolls on 20-inch black wheels with a spiderweb design. I think they look good. They're kind of low-key, which I think is great.
