When was the last time you saw an Omni/Horizon on the road? They only want $1000 for this. PAGING DOUG DEMURO.

He'd have so much money for mods! I legitimately want to see this.

DIY Omni GLHS with the 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 2 out of the Dart!

A top-spec Dart weighs 3,300 lbs. An Omni weighs 2100lbs.

The 2.4L Tigershark 2 makes 186hp. The Omni 2.2L K engine makes 93hp.

ALSO! Most importantly, in 1988 the Omni was made in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Somebody in my area has an immaculate one in the same color.

Saw one on the road last week.

Is that... no, it can't be... it's... holy shit, it is. White Omni, in decent shape.

However, it's been decades since I've seen a TC3 or O24 on the road.

I've never seen a TC3 or O24 out in the wild.

They weren't all that common to begin with.

I can't remember the last time I saw an Omni. Could be a decade, for all I know. That thing is amazingly clean, hardly any rust at all.

Omni/Horizon was meant to compete with the VW Rabbit.

It didn't.

My dad's first new car was a black Horizon. He put 60k on it and sold it for I think $1500 less than he bought it for.

I saw one two years ago. It was the burgundy they made them in. It was spotless - no rust at all, glossy paint, glass was perfectly clear... I'm convinced it was a time traveler.

I think that is the most likely explanation.
