Vehicle Description
When a rare truck is both survivor-grade and value-priced, it's
time to take notice. This 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express Adventurer
D150 has all the unmistakable looks of one of the coolest and first
factory sport truck ever to hit the streets.
The history of the Lil Red Express is always a great tale. Dodge
created pickups to skirt new power-zapping emissions regulations.
And they did it with such bold defiance that they delivered them
with two vehicle exhaust stacks right to the public. This one not
only retains those cool chromed chimneys, but also other special
details like the door decals, tailgate, and wood side inserts for
the bed. These are all part of a survivor-grade package. So the
price on this one leaves room in the budget for a respray, but
there's already something undeniable cool about a vintage pickup
with a ready-to-work attitude. You even have a trailer hitch and
the wood bed has been covered with diamond plating to really keep
getting the job done. No matter how you decide to enjoy this Mopar,
you'll always be in rare company. Dodge only sold around 5,120
examples in 1979 - the final year of this rare two-year
offering.
Black interior always look great against the red exteriors. Just
like the outside, the inside remains survivor-style...and a vintage
truck, that means it has charm. Plus, there are nice features like
the grippy steering wheel and a dash panel that wraps around the
driver. And the side vent windows combine with the rear sliding
glass to deliver old-school truck breezes through the cab.
The motor is a big part of the appeal of the Lil Red Express, and
so it's great to see this one looking maintained and with plenty
hints of originality. They snuck a cop motor into the Lil Red
Express, and so it made them the true hot one. This 360 cubic-inch
V8 inhales through an upgraded Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor.
And you'll never get tired of the sound from the exhaust stacks
that offer a unique high-rise high-performance soundtrack. While
this is meant to be the ultimate outlaw truck, it also came with
the right tame driving features, like a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front.
And those distinct gold-colored alloys have wide BF Goodrich T/As
on them.
Complete with title documentation, this Lil Red Express is the rare
treat that's ready for work, play, or your next project build. So
you get to choose your own adventure with this desirable Dodge
Adventurer D150. Call now!
