Up for sale here is a project I tried to take on for my son. I got this 3000GT Not running, Upon investigating, I found the previous owner had the timing belt replaced during a service and the mechanic didn't tighten the crank bolt enough and it fell out, this allowed the pulley to drift out a hair and the relucter ring hit the crank sensor and died. After I replaced the sensor and put a new bolt in the crank pulley. the car fired right up but seem to have a miss. I found the 3/6 coil pack was not firing. I drove the care up and down the road and just wanted to confirm that the car was drivable. And it drove great with exception of the miss. I happened to have a Stealth at the same time and swapped all the coils, ignition modules, wires, and the Stealth continued to run fine, so that told me all the parts were good. With the help of a friend who works at Mitsubishi, he believes there might be an open circuit between the ECM and the Ignition module causing 3/6 to not work. NO RESERVE Auction,  I have set the price starting at what I was quoted from the scrap yard. I know I  could probably fix it if I spent enough time on it but I don't have a lot of time. So I am content just letting it go to someone who has the time to play with it.  Now the kid I got the car from, his parents own a buy here pay here car lot and they got this car and sent it into the shop and went over this thing with shocks and brakes and  even put ground  effects kit on it with big wheel and tires (which I put on the Stealth) It also has a hood bra and car looked sharp.  But as it has sat in my driveway over the last couple years, everything they added and then painted to match the car is now loosing it clear coat. It looks like you could just sand the clear down and hit it again and get it back to decent driver status, Now the rear fiberglass bumper was damaged at the Auction when the kids parents decided to just sell it off at auction and had to be pushed through the line, but the fiberglass doesn't offer a lot of strength for pushing, So the rear bumper needs some fixin. So just to recap.  Car could use some freshening up on the paint side and clear coat flaking off on a lot of the added ground effects. Engine is partially disassembled to replace crank sensor and just needs timing cover put back on and button up. I  bought new plugs and gaskets to change them but  want to wait till the 3/6 coil issue was resolved . the interior is still in decent shape and has two tone black and tan, console lid has a cracked area and a couple minor spots on the bottom of the door panel by the speaker. But overall still very nice.  Car also has a 10 disc Sony CD changer mounted behind the back seat. but the cars radion was swapped out for the Radio in the Stealth. so the factory cassette deck is just sitting in the dash and not hooked up,  

 

PLEASE NOTE, the car has not been started in over a year, battery is stone dead and will like need replacing.  First two things that will likely need done if your plan is to get this car back on the road is New Battery, change the Spark Plugs and then fix the 3/6 coil issue. I know this car has not been driven daily in almost 3 years but it has always been park on blacktop and not in some tall grass off to the side (that's why the wife wants it gone, she sees it every morning when she walks out the door)

 I will try to take some additional photos of the clearcoat issue,  it was getting late and I was loosing sunlight so its hard to see. but you can see how straight and rust free it is.

So here you go, NO RESERVE, ANY BID is a winner!!!     Feel free to call me to discuss anything you want to know.

 

Happy Bidding!!  Chuck 215-692-9536

2014 Pikes Peak Hill Climb Practice Day 1

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

This year the big news about the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is about who isn't showing up. Sebastien Loeb, fresh off his record setting run last year, hasn't bothered coming back (and probably won't unless someone breaks his record). The Millen family is also noticeably absent. Rhys and Rod have been driving here for the past couple of decades but it looks like Rhys is focusing his efforts on Global RallyCross.
Last year Pikes Peak added a fourth practice day on Tuesday to allow drivers to get more time on the mountain. It's an optional practice day, but most drivers show up.
Today, both Time Attack divisions (1 and 2) as well as Unlimited division drove the lower third of the mountain. Pikes Peak Open, Open Wheel, Electric Production, Electric Modified, Exhibition and Vintage all practiced on the middle section, and bikes power sports did the top section.

Mitsubishi teases 2016 Outlander ahead of New York debut

Sat, Mar 14 2015

Mitsubishi really disappointed lots of people at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show when it initially teased "The Return of a Legend." That over-hyped unveiling was really just the North American debut of the GC-PHEV, first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. The Japanese automaker is getting a second chance to impress with its hook to "Come See the New Face of Mitsubishi Motors" at the New York Auto Show on April 2. Maybe the company can do a little bit better this time, even if the surprise is already spoiled. Mitsubishi announced that it would unveil the refreshed 2016 Outlander in the Big Apple a month ago in Chicago. It's almost certainly the vehicle on display on the brand's invitation, above. While the single shot shows off a design very reminiscent of the current model, earlier spy shots indicate changes are in store for both the front fascia and much of the rear end. A look in the vein of the Outlander PHEV Concept-S from the 2014 Paris Motor Show seems likely. The restyling is also rumored to be timed with the plug-in hybrid version's US debut. However, after that vehicle's multiple delays, it might be best to wait and see.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
