What a neat little car these guys are.
"The '1986 Shelby GLH-S' was a modified Dodge Omni GLH, with changes made at the Shelby factory. They were retitled as Shelby Automobiles cars sold at select Dodge dealerships. GLH stood for "Goes Like Hell" and GLHS stood for Goes Like Hell S'more. Just 500 were made.
The Turbo I engine was modified with pre-production pieces from what would become the Turbo II inline-four engine. These changes included an intercooler and other changes to produce 175 hp (130 kW) and a flat 175 ft·lbf (237 N·m) torque curve. Not included were any of the durability changes to the short block (forged crank, full floating pin, stouter connecting rods, etc.) of the 1987 Chrysler Turbo II engine. Luckily, the Shelby engines have proved to be reliable even without the durability enhancements of the production Turbo II. Performance was impressive, with just 6.5 s needed for 0–60 mph (97 km/h) and 14.8 s for the quarter mile (402 m) run. Top speed was 130 mph (209 km/h)."

An insane turnout today - the front lot was mostly full by 6:30AM. Was it worth it? See if this is something you'd like to see...
Moal custom, this model is called The Falcon. Falconer (800hp+) V12 aircraft engine. Suicide doors, dual rear axle, headlights that swing out from the engine nacelle, and interior details inspired by aircraft. An amazing vehicle.

Saturday was PACKED. Awesome turnout with so many great people and cars. And that Moal Falcon was seriously impressive. Every single detail was thought-out and well-executed. A buddy of mine said those Moals can go for ~$1-1.5M...
