AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express pickup has undergone significant mechanical work, including an overhauled 360ci V8 engine and transmission. It features its original Bright Canyon Red exterior and an oak-trimmed bed, though some cosmetic refreshing was done on the front and right side in 2025.
Condition
7
The truck has had its engine and transmission overhauled, and the front and right side were repainted in 2025. However, the odometer has rolled over, true mileage is unknown, and there are likely other cosmetic imperfections consistent with a vehicle of this age that were not fully detailed.
