1978 Dodge Lil Red Express Truck Adventurer 150

1978 Dodge Adventurer 150 Lil Red Express Description:

1978 Dodge Lil Red Express Truck. Original in every way. 68,620 miles. Excellent body and trim.If you're looking at this truck, it's likely you already know the legend. The Lil Red Express Truck had the fastest quarter mile time of any American made vehicle in the 78 model year! Not Camaro, not Mustang, not Firebird, not another Mopar. No cars....not even Corvette.Due to a Federal Emissions oversight, trucks did not have to have pollution control ( aka SMOG). So Dodge put their 360 Police Interceptor in the short bed Adventurer 150 pick-up and the Lil Red Express Truck was born!In fact, this truck retains the original drive train that came in the truck from the factory. A special carburetor, 360 High performance heads, beefed up internals including the same cam grind as the legendary 68 340, dual snorkel ram air with unique scoops under the headlights, heavy duty transmission, posi rear, Chrome wheels wrapped in Goodyear Performance Radials, and a special low restriction exhaust system featuring dual chrome stacks. The engine features the tell tale 8W3601T6095 stamping that confirms a match to LilRed Express production. Search the details of this rare truck online and I think you'll agree it's collector potential is unmatched.Only made two years, the 78 model is by far the most desired. By 79 the Feds had caught on and the fastest quarter mile crown was history.Paint and decals are impeccable. Chrome is excellent, and all the wood trim still looks fresh. Minor fading can be found on the bed slats....but it's an original 41 year old truck!The truck drives smooth and tracks flawlessly. The rumble from the stacks is awesome.If you're building a collection of American Muscle, this truck has earned a spot in any serious collector's stable. But if you want to enjoy a show or two, a cruise in, or just road miles, you can't find anything that creates a stir quite like these trucks.Best wishes bidding. Please ask questions prior to placing your bid. You can see from my feedback that I want every customer to be happy.As the listing says, there are no warranties expressed or implied. All sales are final.Invest in some of the last American Muscle.Good Luck.
