1978 Plymouth Horizon Dodge Omni Survivor

Relisting because winning bidder never responded - at all.

Here is a running. driving classic (well. I think so) Mopar entry to the US compact market in 1978. Designed to compete with the VW Rabbit. (LOTS of similarities) This early production model (pre 6/1978) features a 1. 7 VW engine - ironic - and the venerable Mopar 3 speed Torque-Flite automatic transmission. I just replaced the passenger side axle and wheel bearing - more on that later.

Email with questions or if you need additional pics. I will try to have a video posted in a couple days as well.

Thanks for your interest! .

50. 00 mileage on the odometer. actually around 48. 00. When I bought the car I was told it was actual - there are a lot of maintenance records. I took someone at their word but but I seriously doubt if that is actual. If so. it was rode hard and put away wet. As stated new axle and bearing on passenger side - which is when I discovered that this care was rolled out in fall of 1978 and then had some pretty significant changes in 6/78 - front end stuff mostly. So I thing the pair of axles I got (driver's side too) are probably the last new ones on the planet. I did keep the old one - stuff can always be rebuilt. Not sure when they went to the 2. 2 engine.

The front calipers were recently replace and the brakes are fine all around.

I bought the car to be a commuter/gas saver but I no longer have that long commute for work and it's taken me a while to get the front end issues taken care of. I have moved on. That said. the car is pretty neat. I've had two turbo Omnis and one GLHS Omni so I like the body style. I also really like the green in and out. AND the fact that the body is so solid. I had it on a lift when I was working on the axles and there are a couple small holes in the floor.

The only thing I didn't get to was a leaky valve cover gasket. I have it. just didn't replace it.

What else can I tell you? Manual steering and brakes. no AC. Headliner is old style so no droop. Passenger seat has tears. Tires are next to new. The 1. 7 is no powerhouse but the Torqueflite is geared to make the best use of it.

More pics. Let me know if you want anything specific that I can take with an i Phone. One other thing. If you know these cars you know they're notorious for their door handles. Two on pass side are not working. 2 on driver's side are - I am very gentle with them. All inside door openers work. I have one new door handle left over from one of my other Omnis.
