1978 Lil Red Express Dodge Barn Find 31,679 Original Miles Numbers Correct Mopar on 2040-cars
Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is this exceptionally solid, original, unmolested example of a true numbers correct 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express pickup . All numbers correct from the correct stamping on the 360 engine to the VIN on the frame. I even have the numbered tags that match up the proper cab to the proper bed. It even still has the factory 8 track player intact. Purchased out of North Carolina a couple years ago with all intentions of redoing it, I find myself with not enough time and too many projects. Its time to start letting some Mopars go. Just can't see myself getting to it anytime soon.Truck was found sitting in a barn in North Carolina that had sat there for close to 20 years. Mileage is correct on the truck showing 31,679 miles and is very evident with the condition of the truck. Very solid with no major rot issues. A few small pinholes in the drivers floorboard and some rot along the inside bedfloor seam where it meets the wood slat on the one side is about the extent of the rot. Otherwise VERY VERY solid. You will not be disappointed with the condition. All the body panels are original to the truck. No indications of previous patchwork or fill work being done on the lower sections.With a total production of these trucks just over 2,100 there is less than 700 known to exist. Since purchase the only things I have done with it is a carb rebuild, new plugs, wires and oil change just to get it running. To avoid contamination, I have been running it from a bottle of gas under the hood until the tank can be cleaned and lines changed. I started to purchase some items for the truck and are all included in the sale. I bought another set of factory wheels that are currently installed on the truck with (4) almost new tires. You will also receive the other wheels that came with the truck and the spare. Also included is a new set of fuel lines and brake lines from Right Stuff. Also included is a new set of door weatherstrips and a new wood kit for the tailgate and bedsides (less 1 small piece) (see picture). Original interior is in great shape. Seat is nice as is the carpet. Aged but original and useable. It will need both armrests, glovebox door, shifter knob and a seat hinge cover.With a good detail, and going through of the mechanics of the truck there really is no reason you couldn't get this back on the road quickly without restoring it right away. Its that respectable. Even the exhaust stacks are in great condition and not all rusted up. I am asking for a 1,000.00 Non refundable deposit in form of bank check/wire transfer within 48 hours of winning bid. Balance due within 14 days in form of cash upon pickup or if third party will be picking the vehicle up truck must be paid for in full and ample time allowed for clearing of payment. Vehicle will not be released until funds are cleared and secure. Vehicle must be picked up within 30 days unless prior arrangements are made and agreed upon by buyer and seller. Please, if you do not have the funds available for this purchase, don't bid. Its that simple! Feel free to Email me to make arangements to come look at the truck if you would like. I have a clear PA title in my name for the truck. Buyer will be responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs associated with shipping. Truck is sold as is with no warranty. If you like originality then this is definatly the one for you. Great investment potential. Regardless of your tastes in cars, whether it be a Ford, Chevy ETC. Everyone knows a Lil Red Express.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon
Fri, 23 May 2014This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
