when the omni-horizon came out they could be had with V W engines, i think they were 1.7L ?or was that 1.3L?

If I remember correctly it was the 1.5L and the 1.6L

And Simca - Chrysler of France - built the bodies for the Omni/Horizon and the Rabbit.

The original GLHs were naturally aspirated with a carburetor, as were the original Shelby Chargers. They were still fun; they had higher compression due to a milled head and used a 1-tooth shorter timing belt from the factory. The GLH Turbo wasn't intercooled, the GLH-S was as was the GLHS-II (the only two-door version).

Yeah that green Rampage has a (1974-1979) 1.5L diesel rotating assembly and block with a (1993-1997) Canadian/Europe only 1.9L head and manifolds. Because our heads look like this \/ \/ \/ It does not affect displacement ;). I bet you'd be surprised to know that even with the absolutely flat head, the pistons still protrude from the block anywhere from .0260" to .0402".

It happened right when I pulled into my driveway after work one day. I didn't even notice it until I took the key out of the ignition.

I when I saw that blue 5th I had to check the garage. "Dude someone stole my 5th and drove it to CA.!" Youse guys up there in cold country sure have a lot of nice FMJ stuff driving around.

I saw a fifth go past while I was waiting to turn left, didn't have my camera ready. saw another in someone's driveway, but didn't want to stop and freak anyone out..

I pointed them out to my wife, she was just like, 'oook?'

I've got a pretty good head count going of the local Mope's that are drivers and not restored classics....
By my count...
Three Fifth Ave's, One two door Dip, one four door Dip and I spotted a more door Volare a while back....that's pretty much it around here.

One of the Fifth's around me was mint.
Dark blue, leather interior....belongs to an old timer.
Everytime I see it there's a new dent in it.
It's going downhill fast....too bad.
