Description for Dodge Charger 1981
1981 Dodge Omni 024 DeTomaso Hatchback CoupePlease read ALL of the description prior to making assumptions or asking questions that may have been answered.
-Thank You-
This car was purchased earlier this year as part of a large Shelby Dodge collection.
I have spent much time researching and conversing with prior owners and enthusiasts concerning this car and have found that it is very rare.
For many years, t has been seen and discussed on the Internet via chat forums and such.
One source suggested that only one silver Detomaso with an automatic transmission was produced - for Lee Iacocca's daughter... ???
A very solid western car, t spent many years in Oregon. Not all of the time line has been unearthed on this low-production Dodge.
1981 Dodge Omni with Rare DeTomaso package. One of 619 built. 12,956 miles on odometer. 2.2 litre engine. Runs and drives reasonably well, ay need tuned. Automatic 3-Speed transmission. Solid for age. Includes all four correct DeTomaso wheels. Paint may be factory original and needs restored. Missing Rear Louvers. Very restorable example of uncommon pre-Shelby era Dodge.
(Also see the Yellow 1980 DeTomaso I am selling in a separate eBay Auction!) (seen in last image, ut not part of THIS auction)
Based upon the lack of wear to the trim and interior components, tend to think the odometer is correct. The interior still has the rare Detomaso color-matched Silver - lettered floor mats and dash emblem. The body is in solid shape with minimal rust and corrosion - especially for the age and era of this Dodge. It is missing the driver's rear quarter louvers, nd rear hatch louvers. However, he front air dam and stainless "halo" are still attached and were originally part of the Detomaso Package. All four of the one-year only alloy wheels are with the car, ut not all pictured. While showing surface rust from missing paint, hese areas do not have any of the typical corrosion associated with a used 35 year old car!
Some historical info: "In 1980 and 1981, he Dodge Omni 024 was offered with a sporty, ptional trim: the "DeTomaso" package. The equipment list featured black trim and accents, front air dam, ender flares, ear hatch and side window louvers, ear spoiler, luminum wheels with 185/70-13 tires, brushed-alloy look roof band, eTomaso decals on the bodyside, poiler, nd windshield, ucket seats, pecial instruments, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, nique DeTomaso floormats, dash plaque, nd firmer suspension. A four-speed manual transmission was standard, ith automatic transmission as an option. For 1980, ars received a 1.7-liter inline four-cylinder engine. In 1981, the cars were built with the new Chrysler 2.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine. This 1981 example is equipped with the optional automatic transmission. Of 619 built in 1981, t is believed that very few remain."
Based upon paperwork, esearch and observation, have done my best to describe the car completely. Please ask as many questions as needed prior to bidding and I will respond as quickly as possible.
