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.
A meticulous restoration has brought this classic truck back to its
former glory. The bed floor, as well as the distinctive side trim
and tailgate wood is finished beautifully with glossy coats of
varnish, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail
that went into its revival. The Medium Canyon Red paint was laid
down over an arrow-straight body with mirror gloss finish. The door
graphics are authentic in appearance; however, they have been
artfully painted and clear coated to duplicate the original factory
decals and are smooth to touch - just an example of the thought and
care that went into the restoration of this very special truck. The
period-correct 15-inch U.S. 5-slot wheels, shod with 275/60R15
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, underscore the truck's muscular
appearance.
Inside, the black bucket seats with a folding armrest offer a
comfortable ride. The truck is equipped with power steering and
power brakes, as well as an ungraded Sanyo AM/FM/cassette radio
with Dual door mounted speakers provide cruising music.
This particular model's drivability is affirmed by its
smooth-running 360 V8 engine equipped with an Edelbrock intake
topped with a Holley carburetor. The engine is backed by a robust
A727 Torqueflite automatic transmission ensures that the
performance matches the aggressive styling of the vertical exhaust
stacks and the iconic red paintwork. The dual exhaust is fitted
with rumbling Danomax mufflers for the perfect nostalgic sound.
