Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express boasts a recent, high-cost rotisserie refurbishment and modern upgrades like Holley Sniper EFI. It presents with extensive documentation and low mileage since restoration, making it a prime example of the limited-production 'Adult Toys' truck.
Its Bright Canyon Red paint with gold graphics, oak-trimmed bed, and chrome stacks are all hallmarks of this desirable classic, further enhanced by recent mechanical servicing and upgrades.

The vehicle underwent a comprehensive rotisserie refurbishment in 2018 at a cost exceeding $160,000. Recent updates in 2025 include Holley Sniper fuel injection, an aluminum radiator, and servicing of the fuel system, transmission, and A/C. The paint was redone in 2016-2017, and sway bar bushings were replaced in 2025. While the odometer shows 31k miles, only 300 have been added under the current owner, indicating minimal use since the extensive restoration. This points to near-perfect condition with very minor signs of use.
