looks very nice  :)

I see your missing the left front corner lense from the headlight trim surround.   Got a whole trim piece removed from an 88 or 89 horizon at the yard.  about the only thing left worth saving so I grabbed it before it was crushed

if you want it
man, wish I woulda posted here in the first place.  I took these pics right after I got the car a couple weeks ago.  I have since gotten a surround piece from a member on TurboDodge.com.  I appreciate the offer, though.

I know it isn't an L body, but I have my 1980 Dodge Omni 4 door that only has 68k miles on the clock, bought it last year for $800... best deal of my life. Only had to change the oil and a few hoses and I drive it around town on the weekend just fine.

Yes, all Omni//Horizons and their variants were L-bodies.
In the late-'80's they added an 'A' prefix to the single letter model designations because they were running out of alphabet, so it became an AL body.

Thanks for the correction Imperial... I thought it was only the two doors for some reason that were L-bodies. I am happy to have the car, I am addicted to random Mopars from the 80's that nobody (at least in SoCal) remembers. Next purchase is a 86' New Yorker when I find a good one :)

1984 Dodge Rampage 2.2 5-spd. Red/Black with bedrails and 2 sets of original rims. 130K. Work in progress.

Have also seen a Black rampage with chrome trim locally in very good condition. Very much active in the subzero weather.

Fairbanks, Alaska.

I know I might be outta line here guys and gals but this is my first post and I need a question answered .. I have an 84 Rampage with 37k original miles and a guy I know has a couple of fenders from an 83 and I want to buy them for future needs( god for bid )But he claims they wont fit and I cannot see why not. I know the front facia has single lights on the pre 84. but the fenders look the same . he says the interchane catalog says 81 to 83 are the same....anyone know for sure..... Sorry if I hijacked the post but I couldn't find anway to start a new one .... thanks Peter

I know a guy who tried to use 1983 fenders and hood on his 1984.  He tells me that they don't fit.

I've heard that also from other sources.
