Orange Omni w/hood grate behind barn

[Anonymous_User]

Saw it yesterday when driving out of town to look at a golf cart. Sitting nice and pretty behind a barn with a few other cars. Orange with a black hood grate. Thats all I could see and there wasn't time yesterday to get a closer look.

The orange color and the hood grate would indicate a GLH-T, correct?

never made any Orange GLHTs, but that never stopped anyone from painting it.

now the hood grate is indicative of being a turbo car!!

Ooooo...Was it HEMI orange, with '01' on the doors and a confederate flag on the roof.....Sweet......Baby Lee

The red Glh cars can look orangeish when the paint fades. Besides the vin # you can verify it being a GLH-t by looking for the five lug wheels and the ground effects including the fog lights.

All these items were only available on the GLH/GLH-t cars.

Man I wish we had barns out here, I'd have sooo many cars stashed behind mine. I found another 16V car I want, price is right I just need to go get it and somehow find a spot for it

You can use my garage? Remember I got a (3) car ...

Yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow at 5 am to go to the PRA VW drags in Sacramento AND get my car Should be at least four 8 second aircooled dubs

Oh wait, did you mean the Omni behind the barn ? Hijack warning

Sheesh. Man, life gets in the way sometimes.

Finally got around to driving out there this morning. Nobody was home.

But, that doesn't stop me from taking a look.....

GLH
Red (a little faded)
All ground f/x and driving lights are there
Stock 5-bolt pizzas (or swiss I always get them confused)
Clean interior (locked )
Lower door rust - surface to major surface
Quarter rust - golf ball size hole on each side
NO floorboard rust from what I could tell laying in the grass and hitting underneath in various common rust areas

Sunroof with several layers of cheap clear silicone around the edges



Was a sunroof a factory option?

Plan to drive back out there on Saturday, hoping the owner was at work this morning.

Oh, and the plates were last up to date in '03

[cordes]

I think the sunroof was a dealer installed option, but I could be wrong...

[Turbodave]

There was no factory sunroof option for the GLH's so if one is installed it is aftermarket.

Some of the early 4 door L-bodies came with a factory sunroof, same one as the Shelby Chargers had, but I believe 83 was the last year that was available.

Damn. As long as I've been rubber necking behind every barn and garage to find an L-body, I finally come across one and it's been hacked up for a sunroof. Even if it was in decent shape, I think sunroofs are ugly. I guess it can be fixed, but getting that roof flat after welding it up might be a feat!

[nomadman2001]

It's easy - did it to the Daytona I'm presently working on. All you need to do is get a donor roof skin and trim it 4" in from the edge of the doors and fr/rr glass all the way around. The idea is you just lay it over the hole on top of the existing roof and spot mig it every 1.5" around the perimeter. Skim coat with plastic filler - no one will ever notice the extra 1x sheet metal thickness. I attach a pic but I'm at work now so - gotta go!

Drove out there again today. Nobody home AGAIN. Sheesh.

[SpoolinGLH]

Try tomorrow!!!....someone has to be home on Sunday.......Man , hell would freeze over before I seen a GLH sitting around here .....

[Turbodave]

If you do end up with the car and need roof sheetmetal let me know, I've got a parts car where the roof is about the only good metal on it...
