1974 Dodge D800 Medium Duty Truck Original Oleynik Rod Shop Race Car Hauler 413 on 2040-cars
Columbus, Ohio, United States
|
1974 Dodge D800 Truck Factory Oleynik Race Car Transporter. In 1974 Chrysler commissioned Oleynik Body of Detroit to create six Drag Racing Team haulers. Of these (1974-78 body style) trucks, two were assigned to Gil Kirk’s Rod Shop Dodge team of Columbus, OH, one to Sox & Martin, one to Roy Hill/Petty, one to Butch Leal and one to Landy/Lambeck. Two of these rigs were later assigned to Paul Rossi This particular rig hauled cars for team drivers Bob Riffle, Gene Dunlop, the Fink Brothers, Arlen Vanke, and Ronnie Sox. After the Rod Shop retired from racing at the end of the 1977 season the rigs were returned to Chrysler. The truck remained on an MSO until 1987 when it was sold by Chrysler to Bill Hancock and Arrow Racing. Arrow was a long time engine development contractor for Chrysler. I purchased this truck directly from Arrow when they closed their shop in 2007.
The body plate says “Kirk Racing Cars” (Gil Kirk’s Rod Shop). 181” wheelbase, 28 foot box, dual 50 gallon fuel tanks, hardwood floors in excellent condition, sleeper, 38 foot total length. 10 foot height. Originally painted all white with red Rod Shop stripes, later the cab was painted red, Arrow Racing painted the truck black and added the Mopar Performance livery in 1987. Box sides and integral slide-out ramps are aluminum. Rear roll-up door is wood, but is starting to rot and should be replaced. Original, numbers matching 413 2-bbl, 5-speed manual, 2-speed rear, 25,000# max GVW, air brakes. Professionally maintained by Chrysler racers, engineers and mechanics its entire life! Some rust in bottom of doors, rockers and inner fenders. Cab and floors are solid. The cabs on these trucks are IDENTICAL to all 1972-80 Dodge standard-cab pickups. That means that doors, glass, rubber, etc. is all available aftermarket. Lamps and lenses were manufactured by the aftermarket originally and are still available. Interior trim is identical to 1972-76 pickups. The truck currently has Dodge Daytona cloth buckets. Originally the cabs were bare steel, except for carpet and door panels. Aluminum diamond plate running boards and lower box sides (will shine like chrome if you have the patience). Fiberglass roof fairing. New 4412 Holley carb, new Carter electric fuel pump, fresh tune-up, good brakes. 22.5” Alcoa aluminum wheels with one additional spare. Includes owners manual, service manual and original sales brochure. Runs and drives. Truck has been off the road for ten years and requires minor maintenance. Truck was last driven on a twenty mile excursion in November 2013. To travel any distance it should be transported on a flatbed to your location unless you have strong mechanical abilities. Yes, I have offered this truck for sale previously, at a higher price, but I now realize that I do not have the resources to do this truck justice. 614-580-9428 |

2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k
Wed, 16 Jul 2014We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.
