You may remember the Domino’s DXP as a gimmick to promote the Domino’s pizza chain. It was a customized version of the Chevy Spark subcompact hatchback, specifically designed for pizza delivery. A rare example of the Domino’s DXP is now available for sale in Farmingville, New York, with an asking price of $14,500.
The Domino’s DXP (Delivery eXPert) was much more than just a Chevy Spark with a wrap. In addition to the red and blue stripes and “Noid-Proof” designation on the rear windshield, the DXP has its rear and front passenger seats deleted for pizza delivery optimization. It’s like a tiny cargo van that carries up to 80 pizzas and two 2-liter bottles of soda simultaneously. The DXP famously has a pizza warming oven that opens where the rear driver-side door would normally be.
The Domino’s DXP was originally devoid of any Chevy badging, so it appears that part of the front fascia on this example was replaced at some point. The DXP originally had a unique front grille that said “Domino’s” on a piece of black trim, while this one has a gold Chevy bowtie emblem like a regular Chevy Spark.
We think we know why the front grille would’ve been replaced on this Domnio’s DXP. Most DXP models in private hands have previously been wrecked and currently have a salvage title. The original plan was for Domnio’s to retire all DXP units, of which there were about 200, when they hit 100,000 miles. They were to be returned to Roush, which was responsible for converting Sparks into DXP, and they would be returned to their stock form and sold as used Sparks. However, the ones that were crashed and salvaged are part of a loophole of sorts to keep DXPs in private hands in their original form.
This Facebook Marketplace listing does not specify the status of the title, but the seller says it “runs great,” although the “brakes need attention.” This is a rare opportunity to own a quirky part of recent GM history for a pretty modest price.
