Original hemi dart information

[Paul Ceasrine]

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.

Daryl,
Whether Olori Crane Co. had a car or not, I never saw it at Dover Drag Strip (Wingdale, NY), which was only about an hour away from the
Nyack, NY area.
Maybe the car hit Island and/or Englishtown in New Jersey, as both Jersey tracks are closer to Nyack (Rockland County).
