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 |

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots
Wed, 06 Aug 2014Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.
Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.
