Vehicle Detail

1986 Dodge Omni GLH-S Shelby. This is number 160 out of only 500 ever made. This car as close to a brand new as possible with only 16,000 miles and all original. Paint shines as new as it has been indoors it’s whole life. You will not find a nicer one anywhere. The engine fires right up and runs 100% perfectly! Mobil 1 is all this car has ever seen! The transmission shifts flawlessly and the clutch is perfect! While this car was stored it was fired up once a month to keep the oil circulating to the top of the motor. The interior is also as close to new and looks like no one has sat in any seat including the drivers. Remember, the car is 27 years old and has been drivin sparingly so there are some minor chips and one small ding. More Info on the car here: The '1986 Shelby GLH-S' was a modified Dodge Omni GLH, with changes made at the Shelby factory. They were retitled as Shelby Automobiles cars sold at select Dodge dealerships. GLH stood for "Goes Like Hell" and GLHS stood for Goes Like Hell (and then) Some.Just 500 were made.Edit: The GLH-S originally stood for Goes Like Hell Shelby. Over the years it somehow changed to "(and then) Some".Dash plaques used a 3-digit serial numbering system (as only 500 were made).The Turbo I engine was modified with pre-production pieces from what would become the Turbo II inline-four engine. These changes included an intercooler and other changes to produce 175 hp (130 kW) and a flat 175 ft·lbf (237 N·m) torque curve. Not included were any of the durability changes to the short block (forged crank, full floating pin, stouter connecting rods, etc.) of the 1987 Chrysler Turbo II engine. Luckily, the Shelby engines have proved to be reliable even without the durability enhancements of the production Turbo II. Performance was impressive, with just 6.5 s needed for 0–60 mph (97 km/h) and 14.8 s for the quarter mile (402 m) run. Top speed was 130 mph (209 km/h).Shelby Automobiles received the first T-2 induction pieces (prior to Dodge/Chrysler), and installed them on the 500 GLH cars that shipped to the Whittier factory. Engine mods. included: New T-2 fuel rail, T-2 injectors, wiring harness, larger throttle body, bigger turbo, tuned intake & exhaust manifolds, intercooler/rad. & fan assemblies, induction hoses, T-2 airbox, GLHS specific logic module, CS-Shelby-CS windshield decal, & tape graphics pkg. Interestingly, there was a Dodge emblem left on in production. A black/yellow overlay sticker was placed at the bottom of the speedometer to read to 135 mph (217 km/h). A Momo leather-wrapped shifter knob, Izumi leather-wrapped steering wheel, and shift pattern sticker were also installed. A Use only Mobil 1 in your GLHS plaque was affixed to the front of the standard production valve cover.The primary differences between the Shelby engine and the Chrysler Turbo II engine are the torque: Shelby's unique engine computer shaved the torque to save the stock Omni transaxle, Chrysler Turbo II engines had 200 lb·ft (270 N·m) of torque; the trimetal bearings, forged crank and extra oil passages weren't present; and the wiring harness is a conglomeration of original Turbo I, with splicings for the heated oxygen sensor.All-in-all this was a very formidable car, especially on short tracks. In SCCA Solo competition, it was never allowed a place in the stock categories because it failed to meet the required 1000 unit a year production quota. It also was significantly faster In the quarter mile than the Chevrolet Camaro with the 305 V8, Pontiac's Firebird/Trans Am with the 305 V8 and pre-1987 302 V8 Mustangs, and equal or slightly faster than the 1987–1993 V8 Ford Mustangs and CorvettesOn Sep-17-12 at 12:10:17 PDT, seller added the following information: Wanted to emphasize that this car IS ALL ORIGINAL all the way down to the tires!!!! Yes you read that right! It still has the original tires!
