In reply to mndsm:

Looks like a Charger or some variant to me. Interesting ad...

Omni 024?

Wheels match, pretty sure the Brave one is right.

or Horizon TC3
'87 would make it the last year for the Charger/Turismo versions.

Just to add confusion, the Turismo was also offered with a trim package know as Duster.

Dodge Stealth....

it looks like the omni hatchback. Can't really tell.

I'm thinking Omni as well

It is badge engineering at its finest. It is an L-body of some sort -- could be a Horizon TC3, an Omni O24, a Turismo, a Duster, a De Tomaso (yes, you read it correctly -- a seperate model but really just trim on an O24), a Charger, a Shelby Charger (okay, that's a stretch)

Most assuredely it is not a Rampage or a Scamp.

and people say GM was bad about badge engineering

It's probably a Pininfarina design.

Hell, ChryCo didn't even bother with different names for the neon between Plymoth and Dodge...

$500, it doesn't run, and they don't bother to tell you what it is?

At least they listed the phone number for those with night vision goggles.

Hey, he said it was a Plymouth Turismo although it does look more like a Dodge something from the front. I don't understand all of the rhetoric.

for what it's worth ... '87 plymouth turismo...

GM didn't either for the Suburban for GMC and Chevy for a while.

Ahhh, that brings back memories. In HS my second car was a '87 Dodge Charger in metallic brown just like a big sparkly turd. The Turismo's were the exact same car as the Chargers.

Mine had a big CHARGER 2.2L sticker emblazoned across the hood and a chrome valve cover. Yeah, it was that cool. That thing would scream and to date is the fastest I've ever been in a car (I did lots of dumb things when I was younger).

The best was when my friend and I raced a kid who just got a new Cavalier Z-24. His daddy bought it for him because he lettered in football or something. Needless to say he never lived down getting beat by a true sooper turd.

Parents had one when I was in HS and was one of the first cars I drove. Always got a kick out of the Audi logo on the head and the real Holley carb on the 2.2.

ahh..he's changed the title and pictures on the ad. can actually see it now

Now, thats giving it a bit too much credit. Lets just say its a VW group casting. Also, if it had the VW sign, it was a 1.7. The Holley/Weber was a popular donor carb for the Solex carbed Rabbits when they refused to stay fixed.

Dad had a Plymouth Horizon Tc3. Took my driver's test in it. POS. Door handles were always broken. Seemed to be a common problem on these cars.

Original pic was completely black, and it wasn't listed as any particular car, just said "won't start"

Sure looks like a Daytona to me.

Daytona had a different nose. My Dad had and 84 Omni that I took my driving test in and later I owned an 84 Daytona. Unfortunately, both had the 2.2 w/ 3-spd auto.

If its stock the only cars that look like that are the charger and turismo. The other versions all had single headlights. I had a shelby charger for a while, I was not impressed.
