1979 DODGE Little Red Express LRE Lil'red

1979 Dodge Lil'red Express with fewer than 15k original miles. Found it in farmer's field, bought it, running here for the first time in over 17 years. That's me giggling, and my buddy Walt drinking a Coors in his shop. He got it running!

only made in red, painting it another color shows that you have no pride in that truck

@Kalkas53--What color do you think I painted it? That's the original paint, burnt, and weathered from years of exposure-it isn't repainted. How's that for pride?

WAY TO GO SAVED A DYING BREED :) That truck looks amazing for being in a farmers field how much did you get it for and did the guy know what he was selling if you dont mind me asking

[accountabilabuddy1]

I paid him fair for a truck that had been in a field, not running, rusting, and sometimes left open. He knew what it was because he had it in his field since 1988 when he parked it there with 13868 original miles.

There's nobody in the driver's seat =S

That's funny--I never looked at it that way. Walt was ticklin' the carb while the hood was open, and I was taking cell-phone vid.
