“The Clark family likes to drive their car on the street, and they don’t plan to track it,” said Vince LaViolette. “That’s why we gave their Shelby an aggressive suspension tune to make it more responsive but still comfortable. Then we added a bit more power, sharpened the styling and made the interior even more distinctive. We even created special one-off badges for them. This car demonstrates how our SPP division can guide anyone seeking to tailor their car with components from our extensive catalog.”
The Dodge Omni might not, on its face, look like a particularly interesting car. But this one has layers of rarity and intrigue, which explains why it’s estimated to sell at auction for $50,000 to $75,000.
Although there aren’t that many left on the road today, the Omni was Dodge’s little hatchback runabout. Part of Lee Iacocca’s legendary turnaround of the company, by the mid ’80s the brand was looking to inject a little spice into lineup.
Naturally, the creator of the Mustang decided to turn to his old pal Carroll Shelby. Inspired by the success of the Golf GTI, Dodge wanted to make a competitor. Thus, they shipped the car off to Shelby, who added some performance and called it the GLH, which is short for Goes Like Hell.
