Price My Classic

though many know Carroll Shelby worked much of his career with Ford, there was a time in the 80's that he was heavily improving the performance of the Dodge stable. The Omni was an economy-minded car designed to help get from point A to point B as efficient as possible. A special trim GLH (for 'goes Like Hell') was introduced in 1984 with help from Mr. Shelby. The trim level added turbo, making for a hot hatch that spit out a respectable 146 horsepower, up from the standard 94 of the lesser models. the GLH-S, as shown here, was a Swan Song of the high-performance trims for the Omni, and saw more boost, and therefore a higher power output of 175 horsepower.

It was bought new at Dodge City, Countryside, Illinois in the spring of 1983. It is believed that only 25 Chargers were converted to convertibles. The original manual top has been kept in great shape. It's hard to believe it's 34 years old. The engine isn't the only thing that transforms this Omni to a Charger.
