A Dodge Omni or Plymouth Horizon. And not a GLH either. Just as long as it has a 2.2 and a manual. Two-tone paint, wood paneling, corner lights... the 80's cheesier the better.

Why? I have my reasons...

I owned one about 10 years ago. It was in rough shape, but except for that, it was a good basic car. Not particularly fun to drive, though.

I hadn't thought of that, though those are probably cheaper to procure that a 2.2 Turbo III...

Yeah I accidentally just wrote omni in my accounting notes. I should get off oppo and pay attention.

southern CT, he drives it a few times a year. Kind of hilarious it gets treated like a a show car. He picked up a VW Fox as a daily with like 40K on it and that one gets the abuse. I will shoot him a text later to see if and how much

Not really. Danbury area.

close enough, I will let you know on it

Thanks. Considering the back story, my guess is that the asking price is going to be more than I'd be looking to spend on this project, if the car is for sale at all.

yeah I talked to him last night, at this point he would want 4000 for it, which I think is crack pipe material to me for a non GHL/S. He said he would send me some pics anyways for the hell of it

I'd love to see pictures, but I was afraid of that. For what I'm looking to do, that is too steep of a starting price for me.

Agreed, though tit was good to reconnect with him. He is moving to FL (WHY!!!) this summer and is not sure he wants to bring it, so that might drop drastically

It would be easier for me to get a car into my yard once all this snow melts too...
