1979 Dodge L'il Red Express Truck By Darcy MacCoubrey

This is my Mopar:

Hi, I am sending you my mopar to show on your site. It is a 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express Truck and it is currently the Worlds Fastest Lil Red Express. We bought the truck as a wreck in 1992 and began its restored it. The truck started out as a street machine used for cruises and car shows. In '93 we began to race the truck at a track near London Ontario Canada in the street class. Its first pass ever was 15.40 in the quarter. Over the next 10 years the truck has progressed into its current state. The truck currently as a best time of 10.48 @ 128.18 mph in the quarter. We compete in many local events including IHRA National Events in Toronto and Grand Bend Ontario. We also make it out to all the local Mopar races..

The Truck is still 3800 lbs and we have not cut or modified the truck in anyway. We have saved all the original parts and some day the truck will return to the street. We replaced the 360 when the truck ran mid 12's and replaced it with a 440. The 440 sport Indy aluminum heads and a tunnel ram with two 750 Holley's. A beefed up 727 and 4.56 gears provide a means to use the 650+ hp. We have never used NOS, all passes have been all motor. Attached are a couple of pic of the truck. We love your site and hope that we can find these pictures on it.

Thanks Again, Darcy MacCoubrey
