Description for Dodge Other Pickups 1979

Never Restored

Original, ow Mileage Li'l Red Express

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:

VEHICLE HISTORY: The current owner traded his '65 GTO for this nice truck a few years ago, hinking he would get more use out of it and it would be less expensive and more practical. But, t is so nice and original, e is afraid to use it and add mileage! With a recent LOF service, ome electrical safety modifications, nd a re-cored radiator, t is ready to be driven and enjoyed by a new owner.

MARQUE HISTORY: In the mid to late 1970s trucks were pretty utilitarian vehicles and not very exciting. In 1978 Dodge decided to spice up life by putting something interesting out for the public consumption with their Adult Toy Program. Beginning in April of 1978 Dodge put out the Li'l Red Express Truck. For 1979 there was limited production of only 5,118 with a sticker price of over $8,000.
