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 |

Gauging reaction to the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit on Detroit highways
Sat, Feb 7 2015Steven Ewing and I kind of pretended to be cops a few weeks ago. No, not in the illegal way; we just took turns driving the 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit around Detroit and its suburbs, learning invaluable life lessons along the way. A lot of those lessons came in the form of weird reactions from other drivers. Steve peeved his neighbors by surprising them in the parking lot, I can damn close to sitting in jail next to a murderer and we both caught our fair share of evil-eyed glances. One of my very first observations was a pronounced "bubble effect" when driving in traffic on the highway. Attempting to recreate the effect for the video camera, I grabbed Senior Producer Chris McGraw and we went for a ride in the name of pseudo psychology. The results weren't exactly as we'd predicted, but we had fun all the same. Get one more dose of your cop car fix, above.
SRT reveals Satin Vapor Edition 300, Charger and Challenger SRT models
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.
121k Dodge Darts being investigated over braking problem
Mon, Jun 22 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the Dodge Dart due to reports of braking problems. Some 121,000 cars are possibly affected, all from the 2013 model year. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA received 18 complaints about the brake pedal becoming hard to depress on these cars, increasing stopping distance. Drivers reported hearing a "pop noise or an air hissing noise when applying the brake pedal, followed by a hard pedal feel and reduced brake effectiveness," NHTSA told the News. In a particularly terrifying incident, one driver says the Dart's braking system shut down while driving at 50 miles per hour. "I feared for my life. It is one of the scariest things I have ever dealt with," the complaint said, according to The Detroit News. A Fiat-Chrysler spokesperson said the automaker is "fully cooperating" with this investigation.
