For Sale: 1979 Dodge Little Red Express in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

One of the most creative packages offered by the factory. Also the fastest American production vehicle in it's day. This one is a California truck with only 3 owners. Has 51,344 original miles. Its one of the best I've seen.

EXTERIOR: It sure is wild. The chrome stacks (vertical exhaust) with chrome tips and heatshields are the coolest feature in my opinion. The package also included 15x8 chrome mag wheels, real oak trim, gold stripes and lettering. Many I've seen have wrong wheels, this has all 5 and they are in excellent condition. Walking around it I think it looks show quality. Practically looks new. It has had 1 high quality repaint. The finish is polished bright, decals look new. All the chrome and trim look exceptionally bright and shiney. Upfront the grill, bumper, emblem are mint. The mirrors, chrome near the vent windows and around the roof look new. The stacks are mint, rear bumper is mint. the wood trim is excellent with a nice finish not peeling all the gold decals look for steamed or not peeling or faded and back the bumper looks new wheels are in excellent shape it has Goodyear Eagle ST tires which they quit making years ago but they still look new because this truck has been sitting in a private collection

INTERIOR: I'm sitting inside the truck right now and the interior is in excellent condition. You can just tell a low mile interior. It is original and nearly new looking. Yes the seat cushions, upholstery, door panels and carpet are excellent. Look at the other items too- dash, knobs, radio, steering wheel etc. It is all mint in this truck. No cracks in the dash pad. Really nice from floor to ceiling. Not only does it have it's original 8-track player but it also includes it's original "Sound of Stereo" 8-track from Chrysler. Also has owner's manual in it's pouch, like new condition. Has a new set of embroidered floor mats.

MOTOR COMPARTMENT: It looks like it did at the factory. Has all the correct components still in place. The air cleaner is complete with dual snorkle tubes, heat riser off the manifold and even 360 Express decal. The fan shroud is propper, still has rubber flaps atrached. The original stickers are still throughout the compartment, even the Original Equipment sticker which shows the options this truck was ordered with. The motor was neatly repainted. Speaking of the motor, they were 360 police motors with upgrades- Superflow heads, 850 4 barrel carb, high lift cam, heavy valve springs and more. The dress up option included chrome valve covers and air cleaner lid.
