DESCRIPTION:
This was a very limited production run model. Built only between 1978 and 1980. To get around stringent new environmental
and pollution standards in the late 70's, the Dodge Little Red Express allowed certain performance enhancements and more
horse power because it was classified as a truck. The most prominent design feature of this model are the twin exhaust stacks
that rise vertically right behind the cab, like a semi truck. The other features are a tuned 360 Magnum engine which was
second only to the Chevrolet Corvette that year in terms of raw horsepower. Because of its limited production run and
outlandish design, these trucks are becoming more and more sought after. It has appeared on several lists of future collectible
muscle cars.

The truck is un-modified in as-original factory condition.

All original sheet metal. The panels are straight no waves. Never been in an accident as far as I can tell. New graphics. All lettering is intact and new. The truck bed sheet metal is solid.

There are no modification whatsoever to the appearance of the truck that deviates from its original design. Heated grage kept.


The front grill is in good undented condition which is rare for this model since the front grill is made of very dent-able aluminum. The chrome stacks
are all in good un-rusted straight condition. The rear bumper looks good. No rust. The
door handles work perfectly. The exterior rear view mirrors and chrome are in original good condition.
The magnum slot steel chrome wheels are in good condition.

DRIVETRAIN:
Factory original engine block and transmission. All original block, heads, exhaust and intake manifolds. Engine stamping on front of passenger side just under the heads reads "9W360T1. The date code on door jamb is Jan 79 which matches the engine stamping. There are no stampings on the pad along the transmission pan rail which is consistent with factory original blocks used on these trucks. Original brake booster. I have not done anything to this truck because it hasn't needed anything. Maintained mechanically over the years; water pump, brake pads, carburator, steering pump. et al. The engine is extremely powerful. Original air cleaner dual snorkel cover pan that says "360 Express." Twin air intake hose snorkel are all original. Radiator is original. Battery was replaced 1 years ago with a 72 month battery. There are no leaks whatsover on my garage floor as a result of this truck. I cannot be sure if the suspension bushings have been replaced. The truck drives quietly and smoothly down the road.
