Lil Red Express Truck Merch

1978's Lil' Red Express Truck was one of the most unique trucks ever produced. The Lil' Red Express was not only a real looker but also a real performer, so much so that it was named fastest American made vehicle from 0 to 100 MPH as tested by Car and Driver Magazine. Because of a loophole in the emissions regulations, the 1978 Dodge Lil' Red Express Truck's didn't have catalytic converters, what they did have was a special high-performance 360 small block which was a modified version of the police 360 producing 225 net horsepower @ 3800 RPM. The package also included Hemi style mufflers with a crossover pipe breathing through 2 chrome stacks located behind the cab, a special 727 transmission, and 3.55:1 rear gearing.

This truck was introduced in 1978 & was the coolest thing I had seen as a 6 yr old. It was red like a fire truck & had 18 wheeler stacks! I mean, what 6 yr old wouldn't love this thing!

One of the coolest trucks from my childhood...
