Title: i have a buyer for my Dodge
Post by: Tbird232ci on December 16, 2004, 11:10:32 AM
well, its final, i have a buyer for the car, he's coming down tomorrow to get it, he's a hardcore turbo enthusiast, he's had 7 GLH's, a few other dodges, has spare engines, trannies, all that

turns out, his plans for my car are the similar to what i wanted to do to it, so thats pretty badass

im going to be sad to see it go, but its going to a good home

Busy weekend, eh Shawn?
:D
I don't think I've ever seen a GLH in person, but I heard they were problematic?

the GLH isnt very rare, thats just the turbo omni, the GLHS on the other hand is the version Shelby had his hand in

they arnt very problematic, but they like to rust, and driving those cars is like driving a tin can, they rattle, lots of road noise, not much for sound deadening, but theyre quick, and they handle great

Except for the fact that it's a Dodge ....but yes, you are very aware where the design came from when you look at them both side by side....

hell, the 2.2L is actually very similar in design to the VW 1.7L, and i believe the early omni/chargers got some VW 1.7L 4 bangers

Congrats on the sell.
I don't think I'll ever find a buyer for mine. :P

so then, those are different from the omni/horizon, right?
when I was little, the folks had an omni TC/6, if i remember right, and seems as if it had a turbo, did have a manual tranny, as well...
anybody ever hear of one of these, or do I just have the wrong number, lol

ps, it was a 2 door, and had some kinda "aero" lookin' front end on it, recessed (kinda-sorta)
headlights, like an 80's Slowmaro...

there was the charger/duster that looked like that one cougarman posted, and the earlier omnis/horizon had an 029 or something like that which was basically the same thing as the charger/duster
