Dodge Omni GLH-Turbo

[alexscof]

I found a Dodge Omni GLH-Turbo for sale. It's got 90,000 original miles and the engine was rebuilt at 70k. Super straight body and the interior looked really good too. Wants $1500.

What do you guys think of these? I know there is talk of the GLHS (shelbys take on the GLH) doing 0-60 in 6 seconds and running 14s. But I can't find a whole lot of information and forums on these. Just one main page that everyone links to.

GLH aka Goes Like Hell are the cool ones.

The ultimate Dodge Omni was the Carroll Shelby-modified Omni GLH. 1984 was the first year of the GLH, which carried over most of the modifications that had been made the previous year to the Shelby Charger. 1985 was the debut of the real Goes Like Hell model with the turbocharged Turbo I engine option. The car carried over into 1986 unchanged and production was stopped. The final 500 GLH cars were sold to Shelby, who used them as the basis for the 1986 Shelby GLHS.

Agreed, 2 door would have really helped.

I talked to the guy who owns it today. I couldn't tell because it was so dark last night but it is far from stock. Vague details: Has aftermarket tach, oil and boost guages as well as some sort of engine management system and an upgraded turbo. Hopefully test driving later today.

I would rock the hell out of a GLH-T

My aunt had a diesel Rabbit. Couldn't kill that damn thing. She had it for years, sold it, and has regretted that decision ever since.

I use to have an 86 GLH-T, Hell of a fun car to drive. It had koni adjustable shocks all the way around and a 4 point cage. It was like a turbo gocart.

Sadly i never got to rebuild the motor and i ended up getting rid of it to fix the supra. But if you can id grab it, Thats a GLHS, They are more rare!

That thing was a knockoff of the Lotus Sunbeam:

Rear wheel drive, 2.2 Lotus 16v Slant-4, twin Weber DCOE carbs...

 

[RazoE]

Don't know how, if Chrysler made the Sunbeam, including the Lotus version, that's like saying the Lexus LS400 is a rip off of the Toyota Cressida...

 

[Kai]

Well...the sunbeam was a british design that chrysler stole when they took over the rootes group. They then americanised it :/

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

I'd buy it. Don't hesitate and let someone else buy it.

There was a reason they first thought of calling it a Coyote and not GLH
