1988 Mitsubishi Montero Base Sport Utility 2-door 2.6l on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
1988 Mitsubishi Montero 2-Door 4WD VIN: JJ417059 You are viewing a rust-free 1st Generation Mitsubishi Montero 2-door. The very capable off-road ability of this four-wheel drive utility vehicle makes it destined to join the ranks of the much sought after FJ Land-Cruisers here in the US. In recent years the pricing and resale value of the Gen-1 Montero has shown a steep increase and will continue as the word begins to come in from other countries that have already recognized this as a coveted off road collectible for many years. This is an opportunity to get a clean unit at an affordable price. The current mileage on this unit is 232,704. The owner is a mechanic that purchased this in 2004 with 216,000 miles on it. At that time the engine was removed for overhaul, the front and rear axles, and transmission disassembled inspected and resealed, and all worn bearings replaced. The clutch is a new heavy-duty unit. Also all suspension items were rebuilt including; upper/lower control arm bushings and shafts, upper/lower ball joints, sway bar bushings, and leaf-spring bushings. It has been stored indoors for the last ten years. The engine is the inline-4 cylinder G54B with 2.6L displacement. It has had the updated timing chain with removal of the balancer that previously would fail on these engines. The original carburetor was replaced with a Weber 38DGE. The original jet-valve type cylinder head was replaced with an upgraded non-jet valve head that is ported and polished for performance. The original exhaust manifold was replaced with headers for increased performance. Overall the performance of the engine is far superior to the somewhat anemic stock engine. The engine is also a good candidate for turbocharging as this cylinder block boasts the piston cooling jets that came with the Starion version of the G54B. The alternator was replaced 2000 miles ago with a new Mitsubishi OEM unit just because it was original. The original was non-failed and will go with the unit as a spare. The body has 2-inches of urethane spacers and the suspension has an additional 2-inches of lift to provide clearance for the 32X11.50 R15 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires on Eagle Alloy 15x10 wheels. The spare is the same. The tires have approximately 3,500 miles on them with plenty of wear to go. The lift on this will allow up to 35” tires but the 32” provide for a good combination of on and off road usage without having to use the low-range on the transfer case. The owner has the original wheels and body hardware, as well as most of the original engine parts in case the buyer wants to bring it back to its original “low rider” stature. The unit also has an oil accumulator (for off-roading oil pressure stability on uneven terrain), and an on-board air compressor for airing back up the tires for on-road use. The seats are original and the driver’s side has a tear on the outboard side. The paint has some minor scratches and dings. The transmission is moist with oil, but does not drip oil. The engine has minor smoke on initial startup (valve guide seals). The stereo does not work, but the original is still intact and works if hooked up. It was disconnected when an aftermarket unit was put in. The dash has room for a stereo and CB if desired. The owner also has many new spare parts that will go with this beautiful SUV to the lucky bidder if they wish. Buyer is responsible for shipping within one-week of sale. Sale is final upon receipt of cashier’s check or money order for the full sale amount. Thank you! |

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV now for real due in 'late summer, early fall'
Fri, Apr 1 2016Any day now, American plug-in vehicle shoppers will be able to actually buy a plug-in hybrid SUV. Europeans and Japanese buyers have had this option for many years, since the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV went on sale in those markets in 2013. There have been plenty of diversions in the route that is bringing the big PHEV to our shores, but it's looking like, "late summer, early fall," is when thing will for real happen. 10-20 percent of total Outlander sales would be "a very good number." That's the message from Don Swearingen, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA), who we spoke to at the New York Auto Show where the PHEV made its debut appearance. Swearingen said that the dealers are as ready as the customers. "As we talked to our dealer council, they are all very interested in this product," he said. "[Range anxiety was] eliminated with this vehicle, and because of that, I think we are going to have some pretty good response." Swearingen didn't put a specific number to that claim, but said that 10-20 percent of total Outlander sales (which currently sit at around 2,000 a month) would be "a very good number." Previously, Mitsubishi representatives said they expected to sell 4,000 PHEV units in the first year. As we've documented over the years, there were a number of reasons for why the US didn't get the first batch of Outlander PHEVs. One of the big ones was that the PHEV was selling like gangbusters elsewhere. It's the best-selling PHEV in all of Europe, for example, and was the fourth-best-selling plug-in vehicle anywhere in February 2016. And Mitsubishi just couldn't make enough of them. Swearingen said the main bottleneck for this was the battery pack supplier Lithium Energy Japan, which didn't have the capacity to make more than it did. So, instead of leaving three markets without enough supply, Mitsubishi decided to leave one in the lurch and focus on the other two. Plus, since the Outlander PHEV will be based on the 2017 gas-powered Outlander, it will come with numerous safety enhancements as well as the 100+ improvements that the 2016 Outlander got compared to the 2015. In other words, all the pieces are all coming together. The Outlander PHEV is "the best of both worlds." - Francine Harsini At least, that's what Francine Harsini, MMNA's senior director of marketing, said. The final important part are the customers, and Harsini said that Mitsubishi will be a big national marketing push. The general theme?
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
Ghosn out at Nissan, still in at Renault, still in jail in Tokyo and facing more charges
Sun, Nov 25 2018When the corporate jet carrying Renault- Nissan- Mitsubishi CEO Carlos Ghosn landed at Tokyo Haneda airport on November 19, Japanese authorities had already taken position on the tarmac, waiting for him. Police and authorities representing Tokyo prosecutor's office boarded the plane to query Ghosn about financial improprieties, and ended up taking Nissan's chairman and CEO into custody. A few days later, on November 22, Nissan's board voted to remove Ghosn from both positions for what it classified as "significant acts of misconduct." The charges include understating his income in filings to the Tokyo Stock Exchange by at least $44 million, and misusing company funds. Japanese police arrested Greg Kelly as well, the high-ranking Nissan exec said to have assisted Ghosn in the subterfuge. Ghosn and Kelly remain on Nissan's board until a shareholder vote is held to decide those positions. Kelly was Nissan's first American director, and the carmaker's former head of human resources. In France, Renault's board voted to keep Ghosn in his positions, and has requested details from Nissan about the alleged improprieties. The board put Thierry Bollore in the role of deputy CEO with all of Ghosn's powers while Ghosn is "incapacitated," and lead independent director Philippe Lagayette will act as temporary chairman. Nissan has since told Renault that it is investigating financial malfeasance at RNBV, the Amsterdam-based joint-venture company that oversees the alliance. Mitsubishi has watched from afar, only saying it will perform its own investigation, and could remove Ghosn. Tokyo police can hold a suspect for 72 hours for initial questioning without charges. With the deadline looming, Tokyo prosecutors asked the court for, and were granted, a ten-day extension. If they choose, prosecutors can request another ten-day extension. Within 23 days, however, prosecutors either need to charge Ghosn and Kelly, or release them. There are several charges that acquire more details by the day. The most serious accusation is that Ghosn understated his pay from 2011 to 2015 by half, claiming roughly $44 million in remuneration when he actually received around $88 million. Over the weekend, it came out that Japanese prosecutors could be working on new charges of Ghosn under-reporting his salary since 2015 by $27 million. A Japanese newspaper said Ghosn told Kelly in an email to lie on the financial statements.
