Might get some hate on this but it looks like an omni with a body kit.

If only it was $90000 cheaper, it would fit in my budget.

That's one of the cars that just seems so right–the proportions, the lines, there's so much I love about it.

I'm not sure.  The front fender doesn't flow into the doors even a little bit.

Looks like you could get this one cheap and try it.

You can boink a lot of Mustangs for $95,000.

I just wonder about parts availability for homologated rally beasties like this.  Can you actually keep one alive to drive it?  Lots of love tempered by fear.

Those who can afford to buy one of these can also afford to have parts made.

I am so sad the Integrale 8 valves slipped out of my reach.  I don't need the ultimate Lancia Delta, I just want any Lancia Delta.

You're not totally wrong. The Lancia is about ten million times better than an Omni in probably every metric.

I wonder why the ultimate goal of owning one of these is to show off at C&C?

Is that all they're good for?

Dig the plaid headliner. Priced a little high for a non-running, non-turbo, rusty Omni. I have been through Findley before.

They're a very capable car, but if I spent $95K on any car it wouldn't see a track day , or anything where I could hurt it. My rule has always been don't spend any more than you can laugh at when you ball the car up. That number is way lower than 95.

Good job keeping it alive so long.  Miss mine, bought it new and immediately spent 1k putting an ASC sunroof in it.  But it started falling apart at 60K and no longer fit the kids.

I will admit I just searched for an Omni to build a Lancia themed Lemons car from...

None found around Houston.  It is for the best, as I am overcommitted now anyway.
