Anyone here know if this is Don Garlit's '62 Dodge original car or a replica of it...for some reason I'm thinking it was originally a black car from an old photo I seen years ago.

I bought this wagon in the late 70's with the intent of racing it in SS. I was too young and too broke run with the pack. But we bracket raced it for a couple of years. What a blast!! The wagon and 383/343 HP was always rarity and attention getter at any race.

Spent time racing with Gary Doose and his "Supply Wagon" in Amarillo, early to mid '70s. Anyone have photos?

I sold the car to a guy who lived outside of Myrtle Point, Oregon. He painted the car and installed a 440. He raced it at Woodburn occasionally, but most of his action was at an 1/8 mile track on the southern Oregon coast. I saw the car sitting on a trailer in front of his business about 4 years after he bought it. He told me that business was good and racing had to take a back seat. I have no idea what happened to the engine or the car. Denny |

The "Pates" wagon was also ran as a D/SA with a 394HP, (inline dual quad, solid lifter, Police Option) 413" engine. I had the pivilege of driving it then. The owner of the tape shop wanted it ran at Irwindale (original) Drag Strip to advertise his business. His name was Rich and had me play a tape which turned on the light bars in the rear windows, real seventies. On 7" tires it could be a handful. It won class at the Hot Rod Magazine Meet at Riverside one year against Gordon Williams blown Studebaker. My memory tells me we went 11.98 at Irwindale one night in bracket form. It had 9" drum brakes and scared me at least twice in shutdown. I still have fond memories of a hauling wagon.
