THE PRICE IS VERY GOOD REALISTIC PRICE AS "I BOUGHT/PRODUCE NO JUNK" & I'M A VERY METICULOUS PERSON {I was deemed a Methodical Perfectionist by MY boss in a wage review}---{CNC-Machinist-Welder}

THIS Lil RED EXPRESS would be a easy restoration as ithas beenwell cared for and YOU GET 90%+ of all the NEW- NOS- RUST FREE RESTO PARTS INCLUDED!!

I am the Original owner of the Little Red Express {ordered in late 1978 and bought new in early 1979 from Jenkins Motors, Portage Wis. and I Have The Documents for it}!!!...

It has it's original engine and transmission and rearend! Trans and rearend have not been rebuilt but work great {engine was repainted red when I re-sealed all the gaskets and rebuilt only the heads/new timing chain, at about 180,000 miles in around 1990.} I ran it only once on the strip after doing all the Mopar Direct Connection tuning tricks for stock eliminator and it ran a 12.92 at 112mph while smoking the tires well into 2nd gear. It'll probably still come close today at it's age and mileage.

The Floor pans and rockers, cab firewall,back panel,roof are pretty much 95+% RUST FREE {NO HOLES},, [maybe some surface scale rust on floor pans around the exhaust of course]- The frame is 85-90+% rust free and was always kept painted & steam-cleaned .. it has the original crossover pipes and disc brake rotors/rear drums/aircleaner-dash-Spare tire and wheel, etc.! the original box has the usual rust step sides get around the spot welds.. But it comes with a rust free Arizona box....--

Interior is complete with black factory buckets and jump seat-new legendary seat covers included and new armrests. VERY GOOD UN- FADED DOOR PANELS, SUNVISORS, DASH PADS/ and PLASTIC IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.

IT WAS REPAINTED IN 1985 AFTER FALLING VICTIM TO SOME OF THE AREAS FINEST "VANDALS"!! It was keyed up/gouged from end to end on every pane, winshield busted out and stacks broken off while sitting in a "WELL LIT" public parking lot!! Evidently it "HUMILIATED" TO MANY CHEBIES & FURDS!! {Mopar had no more decals, so they were never put on-it has newer stack pipes and mufflers on it.}

It was ordered and came complete with factory 10,000lb reciever trailer hitch/trailer package -- without A/C {thus the idler pulley in place of the A/C unit to accommidate the big alternator/H20 pump-larger pulleys.} It has the quad headlights in it.

IT HAS 78-79 ASPEN SUPERCOUPE 15 X 8" WHEELS ON IT THAT ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH THE CENTERS--THESE ALONE I HAVE SEEN GO IN E-BAY FOR $700-1500.00 a SET IN ONLY FAIR TO RUSTY SHAPE. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL SPARE WHEEL UNDER THE TRUCK IN THE TIRE CARRIER--ORIGINAL JACK AND HANDLE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

I have 90% of the parts to rebuild the whole truck {minusDriveline parts {but it runs drives} Carpeting} and include---

The Little Red Express Truck alone would go for at a swap meet for around "3500.00 Minimum"

THE Parts being sold separately would go for "10,500.00 Minimum"

That's about $13-14,500.00 if I separate it all--I'm thinking about doing it.
