Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is proud to present this 1978 Dodge Lil' Red
Express pickup truck for purchase. This truck was recently
freshened with new paint and engine work. It is powered by the
original engine and transmission. The engine was recently gone
through and other recent work was completed including new gaskets,
a new Edelbrock performer series 600cfm carburetor, new exhaust
system, new decals, new chrome gas cap, new
brakes/pads/calipers/rotors, new belts, new shocks & springs, new
front motor mount and a new master cylinder. This truck is in great
condition, it is a head turner that is rare to come by - plus it's
a lot of fun to cruise in. Not many production vehicles have this
much character and such a cool story. Please call or email for more
details!
At the time the Lil' Red Express was built it was the fastest
American vehicle at the time from 0 to 100 mph. Yes, you read that
correctly. In the late '70's government emissions standards
relatively killed all muscle in cars. Dodge decided to rebel with
the "Adult Toys" line that also included the "Warlock" and the
"Midnight Express". The Lil' Red Express had a special High
Performance 360 C.I. 4-barrel small block engine code (EH1) which
was a modified version of the 360 police engine (E58) producing 225
net horsepower @ 3800 RPM. The package also included Hemi style
mufflers with a crossover pipe breathing through 2 chrome stacks
located behind the cab, a special 727 transmission and 3.55:1 rear
gearing. These trucks are mean and certainly stand out in the crowd
as rare, bold American production trucks.
