My 86' Plymouth Horizon

Postby dodgeariesguy » Fri Jan 30, 2009 1:59 am

I realize that I've been calling it an Omni but thats the brand name I grew up with and remembered it is actually a Horizon and here is a pic the previous owner took (obviously cause theres no snow):

in no time you will learn to drive like a pro, when you learn to drive it better, rev match it saves on your clutch. i learned to drive a stick at the age of 9 dont worry though ull get the hang of it because its a mopar and mopars kick ass.


i hope the carb doesnt give trouble

I know how to work on a carb. though :wink: I learned that at 11 on a Dodge Omni my great-grandpa owned cause he passed and it just sat in the back yard and one day I was bored and got it running by a simple tune up with the carb. rebulid.

I feel bad using it as a winter car but overall it has more faults than the Aries. Its also too much work to bring it back to factory so I'll oil spray it and try to save it from road salt which is the #1 killer of Horizons and Omnis apparently which is why this is the only one I have ever seen in my city. Thats at his house but he had it parked beside a gas station.

Lucky it is in such great shape. There is only 3 or 4 Omni's left in Peterborough. About a dozen Aries/Reliants. Still a couple dozen Lebarons and 600's. I cant wait for the snow to be gone up here so I can start restoring my 84.
Keep it real Will.

Nice car! Chrysler needs to bring these back! Forget about the Caliber and the multitude of little Jeep station wagon lookalikes, give us some nice Omni & Horizon America models!!
