Here's a special truck that only Dodge would build, the 1978 Lil

　　Red Express. Special because, as Car & Driver stated, it was the

　　fastest American-made vehicle 0-100mph available that year. This

　　one is amazingly original including its sheetmetal and paint, along

　　with the 360 cubic inch V8 engine. It's mated to the A-727

　　LoadFlite automatic transmission. '78 Expresses have several unique

　　features, so let's check them. Of course, the aforementioned 360

　　Express engine, a special dual exhaust system with functional

　　chrome stacks, crossover pipe and Hemi mufflers; and staggered

　　chrome wheels - 7 inches wide in front, 8 inches in back. The '78

　　featured a 100 mph speedometer vs 85 mph on the '79, and the '78's

　　Bright Canyon Red paint is unique as well. The graphics and wood

　　trim also distinguish the truck. This example also features the

　　Tuff 3-spoke steering wheel and the optional bucket seats with

　　fold-down center armrest. It has a premium cloth bed cover and

　　inside a fire extinguisher is on board. These are hard to find,

　　especially in this kind of original condition, as only 2188 were

　　produced in 1978, versus 5118 in 1979. The 1978 Dodge Lil Red

　　Express pickup combines performance, unique appearance, and

　　comfort, and is a very desirable and collectible vehicle today.
