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.

The Dodge Neon is coming back... to Mexico

Tue, Mar 15 2016

It's been a long time since we've seen a new Dodge Neon putt-putting around. But soon it will be back, and in North America, too, if you want to get technical about it. But this time, the Neon will be limited exclusively to Mexico. According to Ward's Auto, FCA is planning to import the Fiat Tipo to Mexico, but rebadged under the Dodge brand and with the Neon nameplate on the trunk... even if it doesn't have those signature round headlights, or a three-speed automatic transmission. Never heard of the Fiat Tipo? It debuted almost a year ago as the Aegea Project, and went into production shortly thereafter – similarly called the Egea in Turkey where it's made, but the Tipo in other European markets. It's a budget-oriented, C-segment compact with a range of four-cylinder engines, and though designed from the get-go as a four-door sedan, it rolled into Geneva last month in hatchback and wagon forms as well. The Tipo is built at the Tofas plant in Bursa, Turkey, alongside the Fiat Doblo – which is also shipped over to North America, rebadged as the Ram ProMaster City. In the Mexican market, FCA also sells the Fiat Siena sedan as the Dodge Vision, the Mitsubishi Mirage rebadged as the Dodge Attitude, and the Fiat Strada as the Ram 700 – all nameplates exclusive to our neighbors to the south. Whatever its origin, it'll be interesting to see a Neon again the next time we venture South of the Border – particularly considering that the Neon was arguably the last time that Chrysler had a competitive compact on its hands. The Caliber that followed never gained the same kind of traction, so to speak, and FCA recently ceased production (for the time being at least) of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 to focus on larger trucks crossovers – the likes of which the Caliber tried to emulate (in style, if not in substance).

2017 Challenger, Charger Hellcats recalled for catastrophic oil-line failure

Thu, Aug 24 2017

If you own a Hellcat, either a Charger or Challenger, built between Feb. 6, 2017, and May 30, 2017, you may want to consider parking it for a while. The reason for this is NHTSA officially acknowledged a recall from Chrysler for engine oil cooler lines that could fail, leading to major oil loss. Which of course could lead to severe engine damage. According to the recall information, the issue lies in the rubber used in the oil cooler line. Chrysler's testing revealed that the rubber didn't meet the company's criteria. As a result it was able to separate from a crimped aluminum portion of the line, letting oil spill out. The recall goes into effect on Sept. 22, which is when Chrysler will start reaching out to owners to alert them. The company will replace the oil cooler lines free of charge. Owners can call Chrysler's customer service at 1-800-853-1403 with any questions regarding the recall, which has the reference code "T48." Related Video:
