1980's Omega

Anyone seen one lately?

Willing to consider any that are in decent shape, but would really love an SX/Rallye version, sedan or coupe.

Sadly, I'd likely consider a sport hatchback Firenza, as long as it has the graphics on the lower rocker panels...

Here's a nice-looking '79. It's not '80s, but it's close.

I really want the terrible x-car front-wheel drive version.

My brother had one of those in college 18 years ago. Thought it was a funny car then. Love to have it now!

Welcome to the site... I doubt very much the OP will see your post since the last post made was April 2013... Maybe someone here on the site might know how to contact the OP... You may be able to contact the OP through the social profiles...

I know it's an old post too but since I saw the word "Omega" I have an 82 Omega, fully loaded with all options with only 150 miles on it in storage. The new car sticker is still on the window. I can get it out of storage if anyone is interested.

Yes, that is what I thought too but when it came time to fork up the dough, he could not afford the car and wanted to make payments so I put it back in storage. It happens. It's not like I was asking alot of money for this unique car but I guess an Omega is a hard sell even if it only has 150 miles.

You are right about being a hard sell... You need the right type collector for a vehicle like that... Is it a 2 or 4 door?

Kind of what several of us told you back in 2014:

And your point this time is Joe? Nothing I did not already know. It's still most likely the only unused X cars left on the planet and someone out there will just have to have it. Just a matter of finding a buyer. It sat since 82 so it can sit another 50 years. It's not in my way.
