If you have read the Galen the gOOf thread you may be interested in t he story of the Warlock
in the late 70 I tried to buy a Warlock , I loved the look of them & you could option them unlike the Lil Red Ex, I had a deal on about 3 of the Warlocks but my stupid bank refused to give me a loan on a truck so I didn`t get one , a few years later I found a 4x4 Warlock, E58 police 360 with the Power Wagon package & I grabbed it , I loved the truck & fully intended to restore it , the previous owner had installed the  Step Plates & stacks from a Lil Red , the truck was fast & fun But I was living in the great lakes area  & it started rusting badly & needed a whole new body & I ended up needing a truck taht could tow a trailer & the Warlock with the short wheel base was not up to the task so I sold it to a friend who Promised he would resto the truck, he ended up driving it for 2 more years & sold it again , the guy said he would just grab some cash & buy the truck in a couple of hours which he did , the buyer begged to borrow the licence plate to drive the truck home which is totally illegal here butthe buyer new some of the local mopar guys well & my friend said he could drive the truck home with the plate & drop the plate off at a friends place where he would pick it up a week or so later , anyway a few days pass & the Cops show up at my friends place ready to arrest him as the truck had been used in approx 8 bank robberies with my friends plate still on the truck , he gets out of it with a signed bill of sale & some quick talking & gets a slap on the wrist from the cops for letting the buyer use the licenceplate , it turns out that when the buyer siad he was going to grab some cash on the way over to get the truck he had also robbed a bank & paid for the truck with the stolen $$ , the Cops asked if any of the cash was still around but my friend had already deposited in the bank , the bank robber was eventually caught & we losty track of where the truck went to , still wish I had the truck though

As I recall you could option virtually anything onto a Warlock , from a 440 4spd , 400 or E58 360 4spd or auto  , different axle ratios sure grip , Power Wagon , Chrome or Gold wheels 8" wide  , A/C , Cruise , Slider window ,, tinted glass 
 the Lil Red only had 7 options that I can think of - Red or blk interior , bench or bucket seat, A/C , Cruise , sure grip [this may not have been an option]  , tinted glass , slider rear window

Warlocks on came in a few colors too; black, green, maroon, and rumors of orange for one year only.

Could the Lil Red Express come in black or green?  My friend was telling me that it was possible?  Yes?  No?  :dunno:  I guess the name would be different though.
