The Dodge Omni 024 was a modified version of the popular Dodge Omni made from 1979 to 1982.
It used the same chassis and Volkswagen engine as the Omni but had a fastback and a new front fascia. For the first year, the wheels were painted in the exterior color, and--unlike its Omni cousin, the 024 lacked a back seat. The car's looks promised more performance than the engine could deliver, and the car was not as practical as the Omni. The 024 did not sell well, but it was renamed as the Dodge Charger for the 1983 model year. The 024 had a twin called the Plymouth Horizon TC3. It too, was renamed in the 1983 model year: to the Plymouth Turismo. When these cars were renamed as the Charger/Turismo, they gained a back seat, bringing the seating capacity to 4.
In its last year, many parts from the 024 and TC3 were recycled into the Dodge Rampage and Plymouth Scamp pickup trucks. This included the chassis, engine and front fascia.
