The 1986 Dodge Omni Shelby GLH-S is one of those rare, under-the-radar gems that car enthusiasts dream about. With only 500 ever produced, this particular example—#250—stands out with just 23,000 miles on the odometer and a clean history. Originally delivered to Keffer Dodge in Charlotte, North Carolina, it’s now offered by a selling dealer in Florida, complete with extensive documentation and a clean Arizona title.
Finished in black, this GLH-S wears its Shelby decals proudly, with a front air dam, side skirts, and fog lights fitted with Bosch Pilot covers. It rides on 15-inch Shelby Centurion alloy wheels wrapped in Dunlop Direzza DZ102 tires, and the suspension benefits from Koni adjustable shocks—part of the original GLH-S performance package. Power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drums handle stopping duties.
The interior is a no-frills 80s time capsule. Gray cloth seats with vinyl accents match the darker dashboard and console. Air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo, a rear window defroster, and crank windows reflect the era’s simplicity. A special dashboard plaque marks this car as #250 out of the 500 produced.
Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.2-liter inline-four makes 175 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque—big numbers for a compact hatchback of its time. Shelby American’s upgrades include an air-to-air intercooler, increased boost pressure, larger fuel injectors, and a custom intake manifold. A five-speed manual transaxle sends power to the front wheels, and the shifter bushings were recently replaced to keep everything shifting smoothly.
The sale includes the original window sticker (showing a total price of $11,620), purchase documents, owner’s manuals, a shop manual, service records, and several magazines featuring this rare model. The Carfax report confirms a clean, accident-free history.
