1979 Dodge Little Red Express on 2040-cars
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States
|
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. |

Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.
2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
