I have located a 74 Omega S, and trying to research options and equipment. There is obsoletely nothing in the net about cars. I did find that they produced 12,000 omega hatchbacks, but nothing about "S" cars. Any help us greatly appreciated, Thanks!!! Color production would help too, I found a Lime Hatchback.

I have no info on this. If info does exist, you're likely to find out about the S but not the color.

Production figures are available for every model of every year on Wild About Cars:

I'm sorry, but Wild About Cars has little more info on the 1974 models online yet. We have quite a bit, but need to get it scanned and posted.

As you can see, there is no such model "Omega S". The "S" is option W28 "Omega S Sports Package" available on the Omega Hatchback and 2-dr Coupe models. I believe there is a report with production numbers on the W28 option at the GM Heritage Center. I've picked up other years of this report, but not '74 yet. The W28 package included decals, sport mirrors, Custom Sport Steering wheel, and SSIII wheels. An appearance package only.

So I assuming that they were getting the W28 compared to the W30 in the Cutlass/442. The car does have bucket seats, floor shift automatic, tilt wheel. One thing that surprised me is, it does not have a factory tach. Like most novas, equipped the same. Was that a separate option?

Don't let the W code fool you - it's nothing special other than to individuals.

And just about every muscle car from the era had the tachometer optional, including W-30s.

I read on line a few years ago that the S package was added at the dealership.Thats why no one knows how many were made. I have a sales brochure that mention the S option.

Yep, 12,449 to be exact. The hatchback was the most expensive of the three versions (hatchback coupe, 2-door coupe, and four-door sedan) of the Omega offered that year. Base price was $2919.

Well, what you read was wrong. It was a factory option as I said above and thus the production numbers *were* known and may still be available. The option is clearly spelled out in the Dealer Albums and SPECS booklets.

I also have an original sales brochure from 1974, and it also shows a Omega S, of which I have one.. Omega red, black interior, hatchback.

Railguy

There's also one that compares the Omega to a Volkswagen.

Dokks74

Probably because of the camper/tent you could purchase for the hatchback. VW had one also.

Railguy

No,I think they where comparing it to the Beatle.Because"and I know I'll probably be corrected but"The Omega was a compact.

Nice!!

If you like the car you should enjoy it for what it is. no matter what the production numbers are, it won't be terribly valuable. It can be a really cool car.

Does anyone here have a real '74 Omega S that hasn't been modified?

I'll have to do some rereading and research to figure out if it's an S or not, but I may have one that hasn't been modified outside of engine/transmission work. Omega green, green interior with white seats/headliner, hatchback.
