This Lil red express has had only 3 owners since new. Originally from TN until 2000, then the second owner lived in CA and owned the truck till 2008. From 2000 to 2003, the truck had gone through a ground up restoration process. the engine was rebuilt, 360V8 #'s matching, .030 thousands over, rebuilt to stock specs. Torque Flite automatic with a upgraded gear vendors overdrive unit installed in 2003. This is one of only 5,118 units produced in 1979. Refinished in Dodge Viper Red, gives this truck a vibrant high gloss finish. The body was extremely solid before the restoration and mostly N.O.S. parts were used. Keeping it in the family the truck then went to me. Always garaged and well cared for, with owner history. Only driven sparingly to local shows and cruise nights, the exterior body and paint look much brighter than factory color Canyon Red. Brilliant bright work, chrome bumpers, trim, glass and emblems that are show quality. Complete N.O.S. wood refinished in Dutch varnish and several coats of urethane. New windshield rubbers, beautiful tinted glass with Pentastar logo. N.O.S. roof drip rail stainless steel moldings, flawless oak wood bed using all stainless hardware throughout the exterior. Chrome step boards and dual smoke stack shields that look as nice as the day it came from the factory. Dual side mounted mirrors, rear tail gate chains are also in fantastic condition, gold accent stripes and Lil Red Express logo in perfect shape. Very impressive 15" chrome wheels with no pitting or rust mounted on a set of BF Goodrich TA radial P275/60 15" raised letter tires. Beautiful N.O.S. front grille.
