I saw this 4×4 Omni just this afternoon, and at first thought I was hallucinating. But a quick left turn onto the side street proved my eyes were not deceiving me.
The Omnirizons are pretty few and far between these days, save for a time-capsule version I spotted at the Geneseo Car Show last fall. This one looked to be pretty rust free before it was Frankensteined.
It seems like half of these were this light blue metallic. There used to be a Jeep with an aftermarket fiberglass body in this driveway, and I suspect it donated its chassis for this new concoction. Kind of reminds me of an AMC Eagle. One thing is for sure: It laughs at winter weather!
One could probably do a pretty good CC article just on 4×4 conversions…
Since I’ve got to represent the Ford contingent, here you go.
Thought I recognised the body shape in Europe she’s a Talbot Sunbeam Lotus in her most spec’d up. Pic of Tony Pond – Manx Rallye.
Omni does it all! Oh, the possibilities. Chrysler could have made this on a shortened Power Wagon chassis. They could have named it the Omnivore.
There go those banjos again.
Yikes!
Judging by the side-view mirror, this is a 1990 model, the last year for these.
If it’s a ’90 then it should have an airbag too. I’ll have to take a look and see if it has one.
The same color my 1986 Horizon was. Imagine that. Dad also had a two-tone Dodge pickup ( remember two-tone paint on trucks ? They need to bring that back ! ) that the top color was that Ice blue metallic. It made it cheaper for us buying touchup paint.
It has a definite omnipresence.
Found something similar last fall in Hamiota Manitoba:
