This exquisite 1992 VR4 was a special build project by the famous team that builds all the vehicles for the "Fast And The Furious" movies.
The car started out as a secondary vehicle for a retired gentleman who spent his summers in Florida. This car was stored for half it's life in a Florida garage.
Now it lives in Southern California where it's covered and garaged. It currently runs about once a week.
There is not an ounce of rust or corrosion anywhere on the body, engine or frame. Has never seen a snow flake.

Exterior:
-This specific vehicle was fully disassembled and every panel painted separately off the vehicle. It is finished in BMW's "Brilliant White". This was a 9 stage paint job that shows as if it was a new car. Not a single ding or even as small as a rock chip. The car is flawless.
-Being that 1992 3000GT's did not have a glass roof option, a secondary 1994 3000GT was purchased for the roof swap. The entire roof from the 1994 was graphed onto the 1992 vehicle for a flawless fit. To complete the 2nd generation body swap, the headlight buckets and radiator support was swapped along with the bumpers, side skirts and hood.
-Every single bolt, nut and screw that was removed from the car was replaced with brand new stainless steel hardware.
-Headlights are 4500K HID.

Interior:
-The seats were finished in full leather, front and back of seats. The front seating surface is wrapped in a natural brown hide and the backs of the seats are a deep black leather. Then tied together with a white contrasting double stitch. 
-Above is a custom suede headliner in a matching brown color with black suede up the two pillars.
-Interior pieces finished in a rich piano black.
-Has a matching orange lit rear view mirror with compass and homelink.
-Navigation and Bluetooth is used by the Clarion nx604 head unit with working steering wheel controls and Sony rear view camera.
-Shifter unit is the 3SX ball bearing short throw.


Engine and Exhaust:
-Under the hood are NO SPEED MODIFICATIONS. This car is bone stock and has been used as a cruiser, and in no way raced at any point in it's life.
-The lifters were replaced to 1999 5mm VR4 lifters so that the famous 1st generation lifter tick is not present.
-For exhaust there is a custom built Borla system with 1 high flow cat and a stainless steel downpipe. Passes the strict CA emissions. The welds are impeccable.
-Oil used is fully synthetic Shell Oil.
-Every scheduled maintenance item has been done as it should. All new rubber, belts and timing belt were replaced at a local Mitsubishi dealer. 
-In case there's anybody out there that is not familiar with these cars. They have a standard Twin Turbo 300HP engine, All Wheel Drive and 4 Wheel Steering.



Wheels, Tires and Brakes
-Wheels on all 4 corners are are 19X8.5 Avant Garde M590's in satin silver with a clear coated machined face wrapped in 245/35 Kumho Ecsta SPT.
-Rotors are crossed drilled and slotted and pads are ceramic.


Suspension:
-The struts are brand new OEM Mitsubishi ECS (Electronically Controlled Struts). They work exactly as they should when new. You can switch from a smooth touring mode to sport mode and stiffen the vehicle up.
-Springs are TEIN H Springs
.


This car is a one of a kind gem showing impeccable taste and extraordinary craftsmanship built by a team that is top's in their craft.
Please, serious buyers only. The car is stored and not taking up any space. So we will not entertain tire kickers.



Thank you for looking. Please feel free to contact me with any question. We will absolutely entertain any reasonable offers.

Recharge Wrap-up: Electric trucking, Mitsubishi plug-in sales boost

Thu, Mar 10 2016

A company called Oakridge Global Energy Solutions is providing batteries to Minnesota's Freedom Trucking. Oakridge claims the electric freight trucks can haul nearly 40 tons of cargo almost 400 miles on a single charge. "The custom battery design for Freedom Trucking is an absolute game changer," says Oakridge CEO Steve Barber. The Melbourne, Florida-based startup also says it is providing lithium-ion batteries for Harley-Davidson, Indian, and Victory motorcycles. (Notably, Oakridge was accused last year of failing to pay its employees. Also, of note, Oakridge trades as OGES on OTCQX, the same over-the-counter market as Elio Motors.) Read more from Energy Matters. A new UK poll suggests that nearly a third of drivers would choose a plug-in vehicle for their company car. 23 percent of respondents said they'd choose a plug-in hybrid for their fleet car, while 8.2 percent would choose a battery electric vehicle. Another 7.1 would choose a conventional hybrid, and 47.2 percent still prefer diesel, while only 12.4 percent would choose gasoline (it is, after all, the UK). In all, the poll (with an admittedly small sampling of 282 respondents) shows that alternatively powered vehicles will make up 40.4 percent of future fleet orders will. A recent survey from KPMG shows that 79 percent of auto executives believe hybrids will be the go-to powertrain in 2030. Read more from Fleet News. A reduction in plug-in car subsidies has boosted Mitsubishi's UK sales in February. As the Plug-In Car Grant was set to reduce from GBP5,000 to GBP2,500 ( from about $7,117 to $3,559) on March 1, Mitsubishi saw a run on its Outlander PHEV by customers looking to take advantage of the larger subsidy. Outlander PHEV sales were up 41 percent compared to a year before. The launch of the L200 Series 5 also helped Mitsubishi's performance in February, as pickup truck sales were up 34 percent. Read more in the press release below. PLUG-IN CAR GRANT CHANGE DRIVES MITSUBISHI SALES IN FEBRUARY CIRENCESTER – Sales of Mitsubishi vehicles in February were up 28 per cent compared to the same month last year according to figures released by the SMMT. The rise was driven by a 41 per cent increase in sales of the Outlander PHEV, ahead of the reduction in the Plug-in Car Grant from GBP5,000 to GBP2,500 beginning March 1. The UK's favourite plug-in continues lead the hybrid and electric car sector in 2016.

Mitsubishi Concept GC-PHEV could hint at next-gen Montero [w/video]

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

In desperate need of some competitive new products, Mitsubishi showed up at the Tokyo Motor Show with three concept vehicles. The most important of them might just be this fullsize Concept GC-PHEV (Grand Cruiser). With its full-time four-wheel-drive system and roughly the right package size, we can only hope it hints at a future design for the Pajero/Montero.
Longer, taller and wider than the current Pajero (which is still offered in other markets), the Concept GC-PHEV is a big SUV with a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain. A 335-horsepower, 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and an eight-speed automatic transmission are paired with a 94-hp electric motor and high-capacity battery to provide some serious brawn in a green wrapper. The result is targeted fuel consumption of 15 kilometers/liter on the Japanese cycle (around 35 miles per gallon) to go with an all-electric driving range of more than 25 miles.
Mitsubishi's styling team has arguably done a much better job with this Tokyo trio than we've seen from recent new products like the Outlander and Mirage, possibly suggesting a future design language for the automaker. In true concept car fashion, the design is Concept GC-PHEV is over the top, but it's not hard to imagine a vehicle of this size with similar cues gracing the Mitsubishi lineup at some point in the near future. Likewise, while the concept's interior only seats four, the sheer size of this vehicle could easily allow three rows of seats for a production model.

Mitsubishi rolls out new Triton pickup [w/videos]

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Of all the automakers producing pickup trucks these days, even among just the Japanese automakers, Mitsubishi might not spring to mind first. But maybe it should. The Diamond-Star company has been in the game now for 36 years, selling over four million pickups around the world. These days that comes down principally to the Triton, of which it sold over a third of a million units last year alone for a total of over 1.2 million produced since its introduction in 2005. Now, after nine years on the market, Mitsubishi has launched a new version.
Clearly drawing its stylistic influence (if not the hybrid powertrain) from the GR-HEV concept Mitsubishi showcased at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the new Triton aims to combine "the comfortable interior of a passenger car with the functionality and reliability of a pickup." It's more stylish, more comfortable and safer than the model it replaces, and comes in an array of configurations.
Buyers of the new Triton (known in some markets as the L200, among other nameplates it's worn over the years) will be able to choose between Single, Double and Club Cab variants. Powertrain choices will vary by market, but will be based around three engines: a 2.4-liter gasoline unit, a 2.5-liter turbodiesel and a new 2.4-liter turbodiesel with electronic valve timing.
