Maintenance & Vehicle History
This Lil Red Express was acquired from an auction in Jackson, Tennessee and is described as a very original, solid example. The truck includes an extra set of original-style decals should the next owner wish to replace the existing graphics. A new oak bed floor and bed strips have recently been installed, while the original interior has been largely preserved with only light wear noted on the driver's seat. The 360ci V8 is equipped with a newer Edelbrock carburetor and is reported to run strong with an excellent exhaust note. The gauges are functional, while the horn is currently inoperative and may require only a fuse. A slight belt squeal is present on startup, but the engine is otherwise described as running very well, and the truck drives as good as it sounds.

❤️ From the Seller:
“One of my absolute favorite trucks. Loved these since I was just a little kid. Our neighbor to our dealership there when I was small had one of these that he drove to work every day, and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever. So, here I bought one, and it's actually the first one I've ever had, and it's a great truck. Bought this vehicle out of, I believe, Jackson, Tennessee at the auction there”.

🧠 Did you know?
The 1979 Dodge D150 Lil Red Express was one of the most outrageous factory pickups of the muscle truck era, blending unmistakable styling with genuine V8 performance. A lesser-known fact is that 1979 was the final year of production for the Lil Red Express, and it featured several updates over the 1978 model, including a catalytic converter and revised exhaust system to meet stricter emissions standards. Powered by Chrysler’s 360 cubic-inch High Performance V8 backed by a heavy-duty automatic transmission, the truck retained its signature chrome vertical exhaust stacks, wood bed trim, and bright red paint that made it instantly recognizable. Although its performance was slightly reduced from the inaugural 1978 model due to emissions changes, the 1979 Lil Red Express remained one of the fastest American production pickups of its time and today stands as one of the most iconic and collectible factory performance trucks ever built.
