the Shelby Dodge pages

I just ran across this on Jalopnik; the Shelby Dodge pages. This brings back fond memories of the eighties, when Dodge hired Carroll Shelby to spiff up it’s otherwise dreary compact cars.

I once owned a 1980 Dodge Charger, which was little more than a two-door Omni with some body cladding, a fake hood scoop, fat Goodyear Eagle tires, and an overhead cam 2.2L four under the hood. But dang was it fun to drive!

After driving that car, the Shelby versions of the Omni’s were always drool material for me. Sigh.
