It's a shame the Galaxie didn't have the factory 3 speed on the floor. The three speed back in the day was actually faster than the 4 speed. A 3 speed on the column was faster than the 4 speed also. If the car would have had the C-6 autoshifter it would have been faster still. The four speed in those cars was a real nice thing to have and it made the car nice to drive in town but it wasn't that great for racing. It's a shame they put the 360 in the little Mopar because it was a real plug to begin with. The 360 could put out some pretty good power but it needed a good carb that was a big CFM in order to push enough air into it's throat, then with factory headers and a little bit better cam they were a real torque monster and could run with the old 383s. I had a 360 in a Plymouth Trailduster that I built and it really would run nice. It had the posi rear and it was built like I explained above. I used it for the swamp and woods a lot. I once pulled out a pretty large tractor that was bogged down to the axle with that Trailduster. It had gobs of power and torque running through the 3 speed torqueflite tranny. The downside was that it got 10 miles per gallon no matter whether you babied it or ran at 80 mph-still 10 mpg no matter what you did. That is why I didn't keep it. I washed it then took an entire bottle of Armor All and it shined like a new penny, Brought it to the auction in Houston and sold it for $600 more than I paid for it to some Mexicans that took it back to Mexico.
I was barely off training wheels on my bicycle when a neighbor up the road bought a his and hers (one for the wife) in 78(round headlights). What a scene. One of the kids still has dad's, awaiting a proper resto last I heard.
Well that was a extra special video ....The story behind the little red truck of the owner An his father.. with the son trying to do things with the truck his dad wanted to do an seeing it win an run like it Dad was great ! I believe his dad was looking down an cheering it on An was impressed !! You did a great job on this video an I enjoy all them. !! 👍
The exhaust stacks were less restrictive as trucks enjoyed more lenient emissions standards at the time. Which helped make Li'l Red the fastest accelerating American production vehicle for 1979. Possibly true for '78 as well.
Correct… It’s was the other way around though. Fastest production vehicle of 78 and possibly 79. The government caught up with them and they required catalytic converters in 79
@@74beeper97 Thanks, I knew I was on the right, er, "track" more or less. Haven't read up on the trivia in a while. I know they had the Trans Am and Corvette licked in acceleration for 1978. An interesting and lesser-known counterpart to the Warlock and Li'l Red was the Midnite Express which was black. Only ever seen one, at Lebanon Valley Dragway in NY. May have been genuine or a home-brew tribute but was cool to see in person either way as they're not well-known to most. I've heard the Midnites came with 400 power but a few 440s were rumored.

@@74beeper97 So looked into it a little more and a Dodge truck forum states that the Midnite Express was a converted black Warlock and the decals were dealer added along with the stacks. Also says that any available V-8 could be had in them.
@@AMCmachine Midnite's were a dealer prepped truck and were never actually built by Chrysler. Certain dealers were allowed to take a black, 440 powered 2WD, D150 stepside and add the stacks, stickers and wood. That being said, since dealers did whatever they wanted to back then, there were several put together with 318's and 360's. I personally have never seen one with a 400 but they doesn't mean there isn't any out there but they were all supposed to have 440's
@@georgeursitti6549 I have a friend with a beautiful red S-55 with a great running 390 with BBM heads and a 224:232 hyd roller cam with an RPM and Sanderson headers and a TKO 5 speed.

Oh boy, on paper, this is a tight race. I’m going to pick the Galaxy as a nod to the old 390 I love, but won’t be surprised to see the Lil Red Express pull this one out. Can’t wait.
@@Dooguy I have a 1965 Galaxie with a .020 over 390 I built myself that runs in the 12s. Elturdo? Hmmm, I ll just let the obvious conclusion of which is which just hang there….
Makes fun of Corvette with 225 horsepower....but loves this truck with the same power rating.....actually the 78 make 225, the 79 made less with the addition of catalytic converters.
A Chrysler-loving friend of ours owned one briefly back in the 90s, I did get a few rides in it. There was one sitting for years in an empty vacant yard around the corner from my house, then the parcel sold and they built a house there so I hope she wasn't junked although it may have been. There was another sitting by someone's house in the next town over from mine; the guy always had Mopars languishing around in various states of condition. Challengers, Chargers, etc. No idea whatever became of any of those. Then there was a Hispanic guy in my neighborhood using a rusted-out Warlock as a work truck into the early 2000s! It was light green. No idea what was in it but some of them boasted the 400 or 440. I doubt the guy had any idea what he had; he probably bought it as a cheap used truck and drove it until it crumbled to dust.
I worked at the local dodge dealer from 77 to 79 as a detailer when these things were new. They were pretty cool. My older brother had a 65 galaxie 500 xl with a 390 auto at that time. This brought back a lot of memories
A couple of beautiful vehicles right there. The lines on a 65 Galaxy are just gorgeous. And the Little Red Express was a definite hot rod in 1979. Ford's hottest engine offering in the Mustang was only 140hp and just had a 2bbl. The Z28 was under 200hp and even though the Trans Am had a 400/4 speed option that was 220hp the weak 185hp 403 was the most common engine in those cars and most had a 2.56 rear gear so they ran the quarter mile as long as it took for the earth to orbit the sun!
I hope you don’t mind two posts…..Great backstory on the Lil Red Express - his dad is proud and he should be too!. The ol’ 390 pulled it out and it was great to watch them match-up. Thanks for these, as always. 🌮 🌮
I had a 71 Chevy shortbed in 1980 that ran 12.60 quarter mile. But I had disconnected the secondaries on my 750 double pumper to save gas when daily driving. I was challenged by one of these while driving to work one day, thinking no problem, but I lost! I never disconnected the secondaries again!
A 4 speed in a full sized Galaxie has got to be just as rare as a Lil Red Express! Even still, I was damned impressed how the driver of the truck consistently shaved big numbers off his times. That proves the power is there, and technique is all that's needed. With some more track time and some fine tuning, I bet he breaks into the high 14s. Those E58 L code 360s ran really good for their time. Side note, they used a revised 340 cam which some called the 252 cam, and later, Mopar Performance ungraded that to the .430 Purple Shaft cam, which is excellent for heavy car/trucks with a mild stall, low compression and power accessories.
My 65 Galaxie looks exactly like that one, same colors in and out, mine is C6 I transplanted in and the 394 FE with 4.33s and a locker best time 12 76 @ 108 my son and I replaced a rusty frame, did all the body work and paint. I built the FE back in 1999 and it is as reliable as the sun to this day. No oil consumption, clean plugs and a CC 780 3310 Holley. I have the double length Mad Dog headers 2,” primary tubes the front 4 are 56 inches long and the rear 4 are 28 inch to the 3.5 inch collectors. It literally wails like a banshee.
I was 18 in 1979 and cars were strangled with emissions and poor flowing catalysts (todays cats flow very well)... and I was also a huge Mopar fan so I was very excited when the LRT came out!
This was interesting...although neither are musclecars, they both ran hard. The Galaxie ran a strong top end. I had a black '65 just like this one....only it wasn't an XL, and had a 352. Nice car, but not very quick! Thanks for posting.
Dude, love the videos and your thoroughness in the description of each. My question is this: I have seen a couple, but their is a lack of Mustangs racing where you check out the cars. Is this a regional hate on Rustangs? or are they constantly sharting on the track?
These events are sanctioned by the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags. Apparently vintage Mustangs can’t compete in pure stock form. The only small block Mustangs on the PSMCD record chart are a few ultra rare Boss versions and even those are mired beneath a sea of Firebirds, Camaros, Cudas and Ramblers.
Ok C&Z inquiring minds want to know... how do you get from the bleachers to the finish line so quick? Also, did anyone else notice the Lil Red Express deep staging? He was all in to win it for his dad.
Those Lil Red actually imo ran faster than that back in 79. I'm sure owners thrashed a little harder on them when you go to local direct connections+ can get broken parts .
How about a 1978 Chevy Luv pickup against a 64 Grand Prix 421 with a really bad vacuum leak? or a 1977 4 speed Ford Pinto with the Rallye package against a 1986 Chrysler LeBaron Town and country 2.2L with the simulated wood paneling and automatic transmission?
1983 at newengland dragways in n.h. I ran 15.4 and 15.7 with identical stock lil red with 20,000 miles ,against aN 81 c 10 CHEVV P.U. BONE STOCK 350 THAT DID 18.1 AND18.3 TIMES. LIKE THE LIL RED ITWAS LOW MILES AND MINT. ITS ALL ABOUT WHO,S DRIVING
Ok the production Lil Red's did not have the 340 cam or the 850 cfm carb. Them were used in the testing as well as using the W2 heads. None of these heads to the best of their knowledge ever made it out in production. It did have a factory double roller timing chain. The '78 was a tad more wild. The '79 heads had the rotator valves, but no emission holes in the heads or the exhaust headers. I own a '79 and it has been verified by the Chrysler Historical Society.
Goodday C & Z Great race & love the new finish replay can't wait for the faster cars on that replay. Hope you are well Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
You forgot the 79 Trans Am 400- 4 speed with an actual 260net HP and 320 lb of torque good for 15.3 in the quarter mile. Pontiac started the muscle car craze and they ended it.
To me it's just sad to see how slow these things are especially that Galaxy you would think that thing would do at least an 11 second quarter mile I guess not and a little truck had a little bit of power not much typical 70s la bambas oh whatever happened to the '60s 454 427 or 428 s 396s 340s 4:40s 426 hemmes and so many more thanks for the video bro cool.
I always thought that the Express trucks of the late 70's deserved a really nice engine , like an early hemi would be perfect in these. Whether or not it would win against the Ford , it would still be cooler either way !!!
I've been ducking this video for a year, but I finally decided to get it out of the way. It's not bad. I think I saw one driver combing his hair as he went by.
Great matchup!? Lol jk! Love both cars! I thought the galaxie would have this one, but I should have known to never underestimate Mopar power lol! still both great cars, just a little surprised seeing the epic lil red Express keep up with that awesome galaxie! Thanks for another awesome video! P.s. keep that commentary and fart jokes coming! That makes the video all the better lol! 👊😁
Not a bad showing for the Galaxy. A 390 4 spd up against a 360 auto, ok. Well Own a '79 Lil Red and that damn truck would pass anything but a gas pump.
The Galaxie looks like an unmarked police car. I can picture a couple of detectives in fedoras sitting up front smoking cigarettes after busting one of those damn hippies for dealing the dope.

To me it's just sad to see how slow these things are especially that Galaxy you would think that thing would do at least an 11 second quarter mile I guess not and a little truck had a little bit of power not much typical 70s la bambas oh whatever happened to the '60s 454 427 or 428 s 396s 340s 4:40s 426 hemmes and so many more thanks for the video bro cool.
I always thought that the Express trucks of the late 70's deserved a really nice engine , like an early hemi would be perfect in these. Whether or not it would win against the Ford , it would still be cooler either way !!!
I've been ducking this video for a year, but I finally decided to get it out of the way. It's not bad. I think I saw one driver combing his hair as he went by.
Great matchup!? Lol jk! Love both cars! I thought the galaxie would have this one, but I should have known to never underestimate Mopar power lol! still both great cars, just a little surprised seeing the epic lil red Express keep up with that awesome galaxie! Thanks for another awesome video! P.s. keep that commentary and fart jokes coming! That makes the video all the better lol! 👊😁
I love cars and zebras don't change anything 😂
The 79 LRE was a slug compared to the 78. The 78 had hi flow heads and cam...with no cats.
The application of 2:05 needs to be vigorously applied
LRE put on a good show but not quite good enough... both are cool machines
Flip the breather upside down, remove the spare tire and tailgate, take a leak, then run her again 😂
1978 LiL Red was a lot quicker!!!! I drove 5 stock 78&79's when they were not that old! And the 78 won all the time,no matter what 78 we took out..
Not a bad showing for the Galaxy. A 390 4 spd up against a 360 auto, ok. Well Own a '79 Lil Red and that damn truck would pass anything but a gas pump.
The Galaxie looks like an unmarked police car. I can picture a couple of detectives in fedoras sitting up front smoking cigarettes after busting one of those damn hippies for dealing the dope.
wasn`t the warlock even more deadly ? a fellow i know claims to have one with a 440 in it ,
Slow but close and that makes it exciting. Also the only acceptable pick-up truck to have diesel stacks.All others are just wrong...
What time is it when ford passes a dodge? Its tin past tin
