You are bidding on a nice unrestored survivor 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express Truck. This was a very limited-production "muscle truck," and held the honor of being the fastest American production vehicle in both 1978 and 1979. There were just over 5,000 made and they are already considered very rare and collectible. This particular truck features all its' original body panels and has zero outer body rust-through that I can find; only very minor hints of surface rust where the paint has been scratched or chipped. The floors demonstrated only surface rust which was wire-brushed off, and then sprayed with a rust-preventative paint. The body is very straight with only minor dings and scratches. The paint is still shiny and shows well; not perfect, but still looking good... same with the decals and pin striping. Overall, the truck shows very well and gets lots of compliments. The glass, chrome, stainless steel trim, and decorative oak wood trim is in good sound condition. The exhaust stacks are in excellent condition on both sides. The original chrome slot wheels are showing some age with some minor chrome failure, but still look nice. The chrome step is excellent on the driver's side with no issues, and still looks nice on the passenger side with minor chrome plate peel. The wood in the bed was just replaced, and looks very nice. The truck runs strong and sounds great The 3.55 rear end has been fully rebuilt, and the transmission serviced. I just went through the entire brake system including new power booster, master cylinder, front calipers and pads, and rear shoes. While not a perfect truck, it's a sound running classic needing only minor cosmetics and sorting out. I've priced it to represent a bargain and leave room for the buyer to make small fixes and enjoy as-is, or restore. The factory bench seat has a split in the driver's area. The dash pad is excellent, door panels very good *(no cracks on either), gauges all intact, windows all roll up and down properly, etc. The lights, turn signals, and brake lights are all properly working. Truck has power steering, power brakes, and Air Conditioning *(will need to be recharged; still there and connected). The interior needs new carpet, the glass in the driver's outside rear view mirror is broken, and the carb could use an adjustment; those are really the only things the truck "needs." While every effort is being made to describe the vehicle accurately, it is a 34-year-old vintage classic and being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Shipping will be the full responsibility of the buyer; however, I will make myself available to your shipper for loading with 24-hour notice.
