That looks like it was surprisingly well done.

No. The Daytona was it's own separate model designation.
Amp it up a bit and put some decent suspension under it and call it the ZLH, Zaps Like Hell aaaaaahhahahahahahahaha

In the early 80s that was the 2 door Omni. It was also the Charger, O24, Turismo, and TC3

My second ever car was an 1981 024. That was a fun car for a nineteen year old learning to drive stick. Could you drop in a neon drive train in the front of that? Because 50 miles won't cut it;)

They were called Omni 024s for a while.

That's the last thing I expected to see when I clicked on that. I expected something like a GLH hatch that some guy named Bryce had hacked with junkyard GM parts to make it badass.

I never got why they called these Omni's for a while either.

Somewhat related, I know of a guy thats taken a Turismo (Plymouth's version) and converted to rear wheel drive.

Probably worth it as an old Omni that clean alone. Not many of those cars survived, let alone electric ones. As I understand it, the hardest to find car in The Henry Ford museum is the dead stock 78 Omni they have. You can just go and buy a Duesenberg, given enough money, museum grade 30+ year old crapcans, ones that were produced almost unchanged for decades aside (IE VWs, Yugo, Lada, Trabant, etc), are impossible to track down.
