DESCRIPTION
It’s 1978, and government regulations have choked all the performance out of American Muscle cars. Thankfully the bright minds at Dodge have found a loophole during this Dark Age; trucks are not under such strict regulations. The result of parts-bin picking and late night engineering is this, the Dodge Lil Red Express Truck! Coined the “Adult Toy” in some advertisements it would be the fastest American Built production vehicle in 1978 and again in 1979! That means your pickup would out run any same year Trans Am, Camaro, Mustang, Corvette, and so on to 100mph all the time hauling whatever you wanted.
Engineered for speed, the Little Red Express Truck was built on the 1/2-Ton short-wheelbase D150 Adventurer package. However, the real attraction was the high performance Police Edition 360cid V8 with 4bbl carb, producing a claimed 225hp @ only 3800rpm!!! Power was transferred to the ground through a 727 Automatic with a 2500 stall converter and 9.25 inch rear end with 3.55:1 gear ratio! Under the hood also came a dual-snorkel air intake with cold air induction, heavy duty valve springs, and free flowing “hemi style” dual chrome exhausts stacks with stainless steel heat shields, much like those of a Big-Rig Truck. Also standard on the Lil Red Express where chrome plated valve covers, chrome air cleaner lid, chrome bedside steps, oak body trim panels with chrome headed prop nuts, and a Gold 3M pinstripe and decal package.
St. Louis Car Museum & Sales is pleased to present this fully restored, 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express Truck! Having only traveled 2,323 carefully driven miles since its full restoration, this is likely the finest example available anywhere. Still wearing its factory correct and stunning, Medium Canyon Red paint and Black Vinyl interior this collector quality truck presents itself very well! Options on this truck are seemingly endless, (MD2) Chrome Front Bumper, (MD3) Chrome Rear Bumper, (YH6) Lil Red Express Package, (YW4) 6050 GVW, (EH1) High Performance 360cid 4bbl V8, (FA0) A-727 Loadflight Transmission, (LB2) Oil Pressure Gauge, (AV2) 3.55:1 Rear Axle Ratio, (RA6) Chrome 5-Slot Disc Road Wheels - 5 total, Raised White Letter tires - 5 total, AM/FM Radio with Cassette, Air Conditioning, Cargo Light, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Bucket Seats with center console and storage bin, 3 Seat belts, and more. The original tags in the door jamb are present.
The truck is in fantastic driving condition as well as cosmetic condition! It retains all its original charm and flash, but in much nicer condition than Dodge ever put out of the factory. The engine was fully rebuilt and the odometer zero timed at that time. So the mileage on the truck now represents the mileage since restoration. Before the restoration the truck had exactly 81,735 miles on it. The exterior was stripped and beautifully painted in the correct shade of Red. The interior is largely original with new carpet and paint. It shows very well, original, and remains very correct! The wood bed sides and floor were professionally refinished by Signature Hardwoods and are the nicest of any we have offered before. Truck comes with original warranty booklet and owner’s manual. This truck is ready for its next caretaker to enjoy and cherish as its previous owners so did!
When one looks for an investment quality collector vehicle, they should take into account the ever growing desire for collectors to own well cared for and restored trucks. The Dodge Lil Red Express Trucks have been steadily increasing in value over the years and are an excellent way to invest in collector vehicles as they are still affordable.
