I don't think this generation Charger was ever sold with a Daytona model. Besides, As this car has quad headlamps, it's an '84 or newer, and by '84, Dodge was also selling a separate car called the Daytona (based on the K-car chassis). |

May you prove your case sir because this looks like one of the late 70's Ford Mustang. (1979 to be exact.) |

This is not a Mustang. It's a Mopar product. It's like Hecubus said, an '84 Dodge Charger. It was based on the Dodge Omni. |

And the Mustang didn't have a grille like on this car. It also had the black ribs on the C-pillar. |

Hmmmmmm, not a Charger. Mustang or some Mercury? |

It's an 84 Charger 2.2 car. Base model from the looks of it. I have a '84 Shelby and it has a totally different look and with the 2.2 turbo it will hang with most stock V8's. |

This body style of Dodge Charger ranges from 1984 - 1987.. When they have the quad headlights, that means its commonly equipped with a 2.2 carburated engine. Based on a 1978 - 1990 span of the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon vehicles.. |

Plymouth Turismo. |

Hey friends, it could bee a Turismo or a Charger, but a simple Charger, the 2.2. has another hood |

So i think its a Turismo (Plymouth) |
◊ 2009-07-28 20:15 |
Just to confuse things further, the Plymouth version was also called "Duster" at one point. A neighbor of mine has a really clean silver one. |

OMG, another incredible example for US-car-company-manner to pull down a great name into the stinkiest dirt. ![]() THIS is a Charger: /vehicle_2075-Dodge-Charger-R-T-1968.html Ogottogott (= German duplication of OMG), a Charger based of this junk-car Simca Horizon. I thought indeed, Chrysler was destroying itself since over 30 years (yes, Max, the impudent 600-badge is one evidence, too ![]() -- Last edit: 2009-07-28 23:26:14 |

For those of you who agree with Firebird86, please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_GLHS and http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/your_garage/cars/6764.shtml I own number 75 out of the 1000, and I brag about it every chance I get. |

I had one. One of the most amazing cars I've ever owned. Pretty quick, handled well and could haul all my DJ equipment in the hatch. I miss it. Make fun all you want, but that was a great car for what it was...which was basic cheap transportation. BTW ingo, the US Omni/Horizons was a bit different from the French Simca. We had better engines. Throughout its life, they had Mitsubishi, VW and US sourced engines. Didn't the Simca share a Peugeot engine? |
◊ 2010-08-12 22:35 |
I don't know, perhaps. @DynaMike: do you know details? Anyways, it's not unusual to share engines, even not over brands. Some examples: DAF: Renault Volvo Diesel: VW LT Transporter Ford Granada Diesel: Peugeot Opel 2.4 liter Diesel: BMW Opel 2.0 liter Diesel: Isuzu The "Europa V6" was used in the Peugeot 604, the Renault 30 and the Volvo 264. Many more examples can be found... |

The Simca Horizon had engines of 1118, 1294 or 1442 cc, and these were no Peugeot engines, just old Simca-stuff. Peugeot had (in this range) 1124, 1290 and 1472 cc. |

I read all the comments above. Why was this a Turismo and not a Charger? |
