The 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express Adventurer D150 holds a special place in automotive lore as the fastest American-made vehicle from 0 to 100 mph as tested by Car and Driver in 1978. A meticulous restoration has brought this classic truck back to its former glory. The bed floor, as well as the distinctive side trim and tailgate wood is finished beautifully with glossy coats of varnish, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its revival. The Medium Canyon Red paint was laid down over an arrow-straight body with mirror gloss finish. The door graphics are authentic in appearance; however, they have been artfully painted and clear coated to duplicate the original factory decals and are smooth to touch – just an example of the thought and care that went into the restoration of this very special truck. The period-correct 15-inch U.S. 5-slot wheels, shod with 275/60R15 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, underscore the truck's muscular appearance. Inside, the black bucket seats with a folding armrest offer a comfortable ride. The truck is equipped with power steering and power brakes, as well as an ungraded Sanyo AM/FM/cassette radio with Dual door mounted speakers provide cruising music. This particular model's drivability is affirmed by its smooth-running 360 V8 engine equipped with an Edelbrock intake topped with a Holley carburetor. The engine is backed by a robust A727 Torqueflite automatic transmission ensures that the performance matches the aggressive styling of the vertical exhaust stacks and the iconic red paintwork. The dual exhaust is fitted with rumbling Danomax mufflers for the perfect nostalgic sound.
