They weren't all dogs.... "Carroll Shelby purchased 1,000 of the last Dodge Shelby Chargers and converted them into GLHSs in his facility at Whittier, California. Every single one was built and optioned the same way and all had special badging that marked them as Shelby, not as a Dodge. This was a continuation of the Omni GLH from the previous year. Shelby used the Turbo I engine updated with the intercooler and plumbing of the Turbo II engine, but without the stronger forged crank, full-floating pin pistons and other durability enhancements of that engine, good for 175 hp (130 kW) and 175 lb·ft (237 N·m) of torque. The suspension was upgraded with Koni adjustable struts/shocks and uprated Z tires. The only color was black and they were all equipped the same. A special sticker on the speedometer upped the readout to 125 mph (201 km/h). A special numbered Shelby Automotive badge went in place of the normal Charger badge. The cost of this special Charger was US$12,995." Wikipedia
They were fast as hell!! A guy I grew up with, had one. The turbo puked out, and since it was oil cooled, it was like a smoke screen. I was driving it down the road, and people were pulling over it was so bad..Find yourself a Shelby Omni...
The Shelby glh was a trip. Talk about torque steer. LMAO. We used to stock axles for them they broke so often.
