For auction My 79' LIL RED EXPRESS. This is the real deal not a clone. Really cool truck, I get the thumbs up everywhere I go. I cant go out and get a cup of coffee without someone trying to start a conversation about it. These trucks sell for 15k+ restored. The engine is a 1969 340HP that came from a 70' Dart I still have. Engine is blueprinted and when the tires hook up it puts you hard in the seat. (I have video of the truck running) I had a 3:91 Suregrip rear built for the truck which blends perfectly with the 4-speed overdrive from a 78 Roadrunner and had a custom driveshaft made for the assembly. I took the pedals and linkage from a standard shift Dodge Ram of simular year. The shifter is from a bench seat 70 RR and fits the truck perfect. The truck is currently on the road and I use on days off to run errands. I purchased this truck a few years ago with no motor and transmission for $5500 and have probably another 5k in it on top of that. I need to sell because I'm closing on property and need the cash for development. I will consider trades but they would have to be lopsided on my half. The truck does have a aged paint job wich I love because I can use it for everything, No worrying about mudpuddle or muddy boots. Bed wood was replaced with aluminum diamond plate but bones super solid if you wanted to put wood back in. Fenders and doors have body filler and would need to be replaced if you wanted to restore the truck. Cab floors were replaced at some point in its life. The truck is a driver but needs odds and ends, some weatherstripping needs replacing, windshield is foggy around the edge, some of dash gauges dont work, blinkers blink fast etc.. I'm listing the truck with no reserve. I have the truck for sale locally for $5500 I'm looking for a quick sale so money talks. If truck is shipped all funds must clear before truck gets released. Winning bidder is responsible for shipping or local pick-up. Truck must be paid in full within 7 days of auction ending, No exceptions!On Mar-26-13 at 05:55:32 PDT, seller added the following information: I've been asked if truck could be driven home. My hesitation would be the aged tires and wiper arm bushings need to be replaced(which I have). Note: this is a project driver, some other details I forgot to mention are; shifter hump and boot need to be secured, truck grinds sometimes when put in third gear when cold, the truck does have underlying rust and body filler. I put new bumpers on the truck few years back. If you like you can call me, it's hard for me to answer all the emails Timely. Sixthreeone, four31two88four. Thanks again for your interest.
