1984 Dodge Omni GLH

Up for auction is a 1984 Dodge Omni GLH it is a very clean car that spent its life in California then Georgia. The car has always been adult owned and not beat on. The car is solid with no rust issues at all. The car has a 2.2 H.O. motor and a 5 speed manual transmission. The car is in great shape for the year and would make a great car for the car show. The car shows some patina with the clear coat fading, but don't let that discourage you, it still shows very well for a 1984 GLH with an interior that is all there with no rips or tears. It would do very well at a car show for an original unmolested GLH if you can find one. The car has rear window defrost, Am/FM Cassette, fog lights with working air conditioning. the car has a new fuel pump and ready for the road. I listed the buy it now for a rock bottom price and you will not find another one in this price range. So don't let it get away, or it could be the be the one that got away. Please feel free to come by and take it for a drive, it shows better in person. The car is of course sold as is without a warranty. I do have all the literature and receipts for the car and manuals. Please feel free to ask any questions or if you need additional photos.

GLH Background Information

The Omni had already been in production for six years when Shelby choose the 1984 model year as his second car to use in his plan to improve Dodge’s sporty image. It was a performance package available on the standard Omni. The suspension was virtually identical to the Shelby Charger with 30% stiffer springs in the front and 15% stiffer springs in the rear than the regular Omni suspension. These modifications lowered the car an inch all around.

Shelby used the same enhanced high-output carbureted 2.2-liter, 4-cylinder SOHC that was used in the Shelby Charger and was matched to a five-speed manual transaxle. It used a special camshaft, milled block (.020) to bring up the compression, and a chrome engine dress-up valve cover. It produced 24 more horsepower than the standard Omnis optional Chrysler 2.2-liter engine. The ’84 GLH was not available with a turbocharger. With its reduced weight and aerodynamics, the GLH hit 60 in only 8.7 seconds, turned a 16.7 ET at 81 mph, and topped out at 106 mph.

Additional Shelby Charger carryovers included the quicker 14:1 ratio steering rack and larger 10.2 in discs and 8.7-in drums. The GLH wore P195/60HR15 Goodyear tires on 4-lug 15-inch aluminum "Swiss cheese" wheels.

Although Shelby’s name and usual ground effects and other cosmetic additions were left off the car, he did provide the acronym GLH because the car "goes like hell." The standard Omni interior remained untouched. The exterior had monochrome paint, blacked-out trim and bumpers. Fog lamps were added under the front bumper.
