Original hemi dart information

[6t5frlane]

Paul, I remember that gas staion.My buddy had a 440-six pack Road Runner and we went there to prepare his car. The guy there had a T/A Challenger 340 six pack car that he raced on the streets at the time. This was about 1973 or so

BTW That Station was not in Tompins Cove. It was in Haverstraw on 210 or 202

65Fairlane,
1980-ish
I remember heading south on Rt. 9W from Bear Mountain, and the gas station was on the right. Small 2-bay station, with a bunch of cars parked on the right side. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was a Sunoco Station.
Of course, Tompkins Cove was kind of one horse town.
Thats where the car supposedly ended up.. I went there, but never saw the car there, but was told by several people, that the mechanic (not the owner) owned it.
I wonder if that car ended up in the little junkyard in town?
Anyone interested in Hemi Hunting?

I know the station you are talking about. Looks like something from the 50's !!. The other one I mentioned had a lot of Mopar stuff back in the day. If I were the gent looking for the Dart info I might still reach out to Olori people. As In said we are talking around 73/74 so memory may or may not be so good

65Fairlane,
On the Hemi Car, I first saw the Pomona Dart at Dover, the end of
75' or very early 76' before Dover closed (May 76').
It had some lettering on it that I think said 'Pomona Speed Parts'.
Back in maybe 78' or 79', I came upon the car at a repair shop in Pomona. I think the guys name was Vic, and he had a 2-car garage repair shop adjacent to his house, which may have been called
Vic's Repair Service or Radiator Repair.
Inside the garage, his office was a little speed parts store, called
Pomona Speed. Nothing fancy, and it may have been just a name he used to purchase parts at a discount.. No signage on the building.
Alongside the garage, the Hemi Dart was there. It supposedly was driven and raced on the street for a short time. Maybe North Jersey or down Route 303. It was dark-gray. It was not for sale.

Hey Guys
It's been awhile since I've been on this thread & it looks like I might have another lead to check from 6t5frlane. I did some Google searching on Olori Crane & in fact did find some contact info. Looks like there are three names attatched to this company. Ron, John, & Bob Olori. Does this ring a bell with anyone??? I will be making some calls this next week to see if this takes me anywhere. I appreciate all the info that you guys are putting on this, & keeping this thread alive. There's been alot of very cool info put into this thread.
thanx again

I called Olori Crane today, and the person I talked to said he will get back to me with any info on the car that he can. I'll post any updates.
