Little Red Express
I bought a three year old LRE similar to this in 1982. I was going to community college and gas was just over a buck a gallon.
It was a good looking truck and turned a lot of heads but wasn't nearly as fast as everyone makes them out to be. At least mine wasn't. It ran very rich, and spit black soot out the exhaust and on to the rear fenders. We had the carb apart a dozen times and couldn't figure it out. We were dumb kids.
Ended up selling it in 1985 and used the funds to go to a state university to complete my degree. Wish I had one as clean as in the picture today. I see them on Ebay occasionally.
