Said good bye to an old friend today

After owning my 86 GLHS for 10 years I sold it and it is on its way to Ohio. Thought I would never sell, but things change. I was with the 1st owner when he bought it in 86 and the car has never left our small town.

This is true...was already at car dealer making plans...:-D

It has a 4cyl 2.2 turbo intercooled...175hp and it weighs 2300 was blast to drive!

I'm willing to bet that that car in that state wouldve fetched a pretty penny in 15 years.

Like the plate.... although I have to say "ain't never seen one of them creatures" what is it?

The "GLH" stood for "Go Like Hell" Somebody at Dodge had a sense of humor!

You'll be just fine when you pick up the HEMI :beer:

[Pepe]

It was a dodge omni turbo that Shelby modified. He bought the last 500 black glh turbos and modified them...koni shocks,intercooler,rims and some other items. All the numbered cars had a dash palque signed by shelby with the car number on them. I had the glove compartment signed by shelby a few years ago. Evan though it was a dodge omni...it did run a 14.7 in the 1/4....if I am not mistaken that is faster than most older muscle cars! Yes, I do know it was still an omni...but it was fun crusing with it in Madison when it was new a beating up on muscle cars!

My daughter's first car in the early 90's was a very used Plymouth Horizon which was the same vehicle as the Omni but hers never looked that good. :tu:
