Roger can you forward this to James. I am not sure I have his correct email address



James,

The pictures make it look a little better than real life, but overall it is pretty decent. I have one other person interested in it. I have spares that must go too. All inclusive price which I think is fair (subject to opinion of course) would be $3k. The XJR is driving me crazy. I wished I would have not driven one. I also wish the two ultra low mileage ones were not in FL and CO.



1986 Dodge Omni GLHT



From front to back as I can remember:



The fog lights are the third set, nothing special , they do work.

The hood vent was repainted base coat clear coat a couple of years ago, because the original looked bad.

Under the hood:

The engine has had Mobil 1 in it since mile 500 with regular changes from 3000- 6000 miles.

The engine has never been farther apart than the valve cover, water pump, timing belt. The timing belt is the third, just because of age. It and all the other belts were replace 04/07 along with the water pump. I believe that all of the rubber coolant hoses have been replaced. Three of the four motor mounts have been replaced with Poly mounts ( except dr side trans mount,, Johnny didn't have any). It has the 403 injectors ( the ones that were one step up from stock). There is a fuel pressure gauge under the hood. And the fuel lines around it are insulated. ( I had a very intermittent stalling problem when hot) I believe the fix was the 190LPH Walbro fuel pump that is now in the tank. The A/C compressor is a rebuild and it has cold air. There is a grainger valve set at 12psi. K&N air filter. Magnecore wires. One range colder plugs. Yes the Turbo is original with original exhaust to a Magnaflow muffler tucked up under the body in the proper location. The front axles are relatively new 2-3 years old equal length with the problem part in the middle having already been replaced.( forgot what it is called, the old one's splines rusted out).



There is a Mopar performance computer in the kick panel (nothing special just the old one out of the parts book. I have the original computer also. The headliner has been replaced.The dash is in fine shape, along with the red interior and carpet. There is an Auto Meter sport comp air fuel gauge and VDO boost gauge on the a pillar. The steering wheel is NOT original. It is suede wrapped leather. There is a MOMO shift knob on a slightly shortened shifter. It has the optional sticker speedo to ( what 125?). As you will see from the photo the drivers seat only has two small issues. The floor has been replaced on the drivers side and a smaller section replaced on the passenger side.



The chassis has the original front struts, the rear shocks have been replaced twice and are OE or equivalent. The wheels are in pretty nice shape the clear is just starting to break down a little. The Tires are Avon 205/50 Zr's which were new this summer. The front brakes are the second set of OE Mopar pads, as the original pads lasted 70k miles. The rears have also been changed. The rear bumper was looking bad and I had an extra one so I stripped it and repainted it gloss black, that is how they should have been from the start.



Ok The pictures are of the car NOT cleaned up, it was just a little too cold for that. This car is a daily driver.



SPARES : Gee wiz, I have a spare Turbo block (that needs 1 corner mounting tab for the trans welded back on) a spare 2.2 non turbo block. Cylinder head maybe two turbo's with intakes a transmission. Most of this stuff is apart and are spares "Just in case" but have never needed them but couldn't part with them.



Ok so let me know your interest and questions

I should sell my srt4 and pick this up for a DD. Unlike the srt I would feel bad about driving this through the salt.

No mention of a trans swap. Where is the reverse lock out ring? looks like a 523/568 shifter.

The 525's don't have the lockout ring you speak of. Reverse is push down to the left and up.

I'm pretty sure it still has the A-525.

I can't believe it hasn't sold on here yet! I'd be all over it if I had more time and didn't have the van project going on. I'm also supposed to be picking up a Rampage sometime.

I just passed up a 86 LeBaron Convertible in really nice shape. 2nd owner with 80,000 original miles. D*mmit!!

Thats right, it's been about 15 years since I've driven a 525 car, I had forgoten it's different than the 520.

The L body 525's don't have the ring, the rest do. At least my 84 Daytona did.

Cable shifted 525s had the ring. Rod shifted ones did not. It's all in the shifter.
