Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 27th year in the
classic and muscle car business. When the Dodge Li'l Red Express
Truck first launched in 1978, it wasn't just the fastest pickup
truck on the road; it was the fastest American vehicle available on
the market. The Express was the centerpiece of an Adult Toys
marketing campaign, which included the Warlock and Street Van, that
attempted to capitalize on the success of Hot Wheels toys. A Dodge
advertisement asked Remember when you used to play with trucks? You
still can. This cool 1979 Li'l Red Express is an excellent example
of Dodge's full-size toys. Lift the hood and you'll see the stout
EH1 360 V8 that was based on Dodge's police interceptor engine with
E58 heads and 850cfm carburetor. Additional features include power
steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning, A-727
LoadFlite automatic transmission, 9.25 rear end with 3.55 gears,
wild dual exhaust with twin stacks sporting stainless steel heat
shields, beautiful oak exterior trim and bed floor, AM/FM/Cassette
stereo, and 275/60R15 B.F.G. Radial T/A's wrapped around correct
chrome slotted mags. As fun as it is to drive this rarity (only
5188 sold in '79), watching people's reactions to this beast is a
hoot. Yes, Virginia, they used to make real trucks! This jewel
dazzles with good paint, chrome, and stainless steel that contrasts
beautifully with the fresh oak accents. Pure Americana. If this
crimson cruiser scratches your itch, call the Texas Hill Country's
premier source for classic trucks and the team that can make your
dream a reality. Longnecks and shotguns not included. Street Dreams
(830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist with
worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
