Vehicle Description
The 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express Adventurer D150 holds a special
place in automotive lore as the fastest American-made vehicle from
0 to 100 mph as tested by Car and Driver in 1978. This particular
model's authenticity is affirmed by its original 360 V8 engine,
which is backed by a robust A727 Torqueflite automatic
transmission.
A meticulous frame-off restoration, completed in 2008, has brought
this truck back to its former glory. The bed wood is finished with
seven coats of varnish, highlighting the craftsmanship and
attention to detail that went into its revival. The engine,
balanced and enhanced with a Comp cams 270H grind, ensures that the
performance matches the aggressive styling of the vertical exhaust
stacks and the iconic red paintwork.
Inside, the black bucket seats with a folding armrest offer a
comfortable ride. The truck is equipped with power steering and
power brakes. The 15-inch wheels, shod with 235/70R15 tires,
underscore the truck's muscular appearance.
