1979 Dodge Little Red Express on 2040-cars
Altamont, New York, United States
|
This is a 1979 Dodge Little Red Express. Made only in 1978 and 1979, this special model has unique trim and came equipped with the 360 interceptor engine. When introduced, it had the fastest quarter-mile time of any american car tested. This one is very restorable, and should be a fun winter project. These are really beautiful trucks and lots of fun to drive. Although the floor of the cab is badly rusted, much of the truck is in fine condition. It has relatively few miles, and the engine makes good oil pressure. This truck runs. It can be driven on and off a trailer and runs well enough to demonstrate that the transmission and other running gear is working properly. It has been in storage for several years and the buyer should recognize that this is not a hop-in-and-drive-off truck. Included in the purchase of this truck is a bucket seat set with console, and a set of 4 slotted wheels which I believe are correct original parts for the Little Red Express. I acquired this truck when my father passed away, and can provide all the necessary papers for legal transfer of ownership. This truck has a clear New York State tittle.
If you have any questions about this truck contact me, and I'll do my best to get you answers. Pick-up and shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. I have many parts for these late 70's dodge trucks, including another Little Red (with a serial number only 5 digits off from this one!) Check my other items to see that truck. |

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission
Tue, 24 Dec 2013What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
