Lil Red Express

This truck retains most of its original red paint and original black interior. This Dodge is a true survivor. This Lil' Red Express was built on Tuesday, March 20, 1979. It was on the assembly line between 7 - 8 AM at the Warren truck plant #1. The Lil' Red Express still retains the original; carpet, wheels, engine, and exhaust system. Upgrades from the current owner include; FiTech Fuel Injection kit but all of the original fuel delivery system parts were retained and come with the truck. The truck is registered with the NALRETO Registry. The owner also is throwing in a brand-new lowering kit that has not been installed yet. The kit is still in the box and is a 2" drop front spring, and a 4" rear kit. This truck is in great condition, it is a head turner that is rare to come by - plus it's a lot of fun to cruise in. Not many production vehicles have this much character and such a cool story.

History of the Dodge Lil' Red Express 150

The Lil' Red Express was first introduced in 1978. It was marketed as a high-performance pickup truck that stood out from the crowd. Its bold red paint, gold accents, and chrome side exhaust stacks made it instantly recognizable. The Lil' Red Express was produced in limited numbers. In 1978, a total of 2,188 units were built, and in 1979, around 5,118 units were produced. These limited production numbers have contributed to the truck's collectability and desirability among enthusiasts.

The 1979 Lil' Red Express was powered by a 5.9-liter (360 cubic-inch) V8 engine, which was mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. It had a factory-rated power output of 225 horsepower, which was substantial for the era. The truck had impressive performance figures, including a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time of around 7 seconds, making it one of the fastest vehicles of its time.
