Selling my 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express. THIS IS A REAL RED EXPRESS, NOT A CLONE. I have completely rebuilt the original engine. Valve covers are no longer chromed. Transmission shifts great and does not slip. Rear axle works great and is quiet. Brakes are also is good shape. Bodywork has been started on the cab and front end but still needs some rust repair on the floors and the passenger side bed-side. This truck was equipped from the factory with air conditioning and bucket seats. I also have 3 of the 4 original Lil Red wheels. Engine runs perfect, but does have an exhaust leak on the passenger side and the carburetor needs the choke adjusted. When its warmed up it idles fine. I have driven the truck and it is alot of fun. Pictures were taken a few weeks ago, but now I HAVE REMOVED THE BED AND DISASSEMBLED IT. I was getting it ready to be painted, but my plans have changed. Please email me with any questions. I really dont want to sell it, but could use the money to help finish school. I also dont have the time for it anymore. Most of the hard and expensive work is done. Now it needs a little more bodywork and the seats recovered and its ready fro a car show. LOW RESERVE!! THIS TRUCK NEEDS TO BE RESTORED. I RECOMMEND INSPECTING THE TRUCK BEFORE YOU BUY IT. Truck is also for sale locally.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world
Thu, 14 Aug 2014
"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."
2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee
Tue, 12 Mar 2013I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
