1988 Dodge Raider Mitsubishi Montero 4wd 2.6 (barn Kept For Last 10 Years) on 2040-cars
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, United States
I wish to sell my 1988 Dodge Raider, also known as a Mitsubishi Montero. I will describe the vehicle to the best of my ability and also the summary of my acquisition of it and any work that has been done to my knowledge. First, I bought the Raider several months ago, with the intention to "fix it up". It was a local vehicle advertised for sale with a "bad engine." It was also noted that the vehicle had not been on the road, and stored in a barn, for approximately ten years. The condition of the body and interior would seem to validate that statement. Additionally, the Pa inspection sticker displayed on the windshield expired in 2004. The first thing I noticed about it, was that it was in surprisingly good cosmetic condition. I got the Raider started a few days after I brought it home. I did start, however the motor had a noticeable knock. A long story short, I ended up pulling the oil pan and discovered that one of the rod bearings had completely disintegrated. It looked as though the previous owners had not run the motor much after the knock developed, as the crank had minimal scoring. Since I was having trouble finding a replacement motor, I put a new bearing in, and put everything back together. Of course it is usually not advisable to replace a bearing where there is even the least visible scoring, but I didn't have the resources to get everything done like new. Now, the motor runs fine, but there is a small knock when it is first started, which seems to disappear within a few seconds. To be honest, sometimes you can hear a faint knock or rattle type sound. I do not know what this is, or how it relates to the initial bearing failure. The motor feels strong. It does not appear that there was any damage to any of the cylinders. It might be prudent to completely rebuild the motor, or replace it. The brakes barely work. I do not know why, I have not looked into it. It could be something very simple, due to the vehicle sitting for 10 years. Also, it will need tires since they are prone to dry rotting and flat spots after sitting for such a lengthy period. As far the body and interior, they are in very good condition, as can be seen in the pictures. There is only a few minor spots of rust. The undercarriage does have same small surface rust, which can easily be peeled off with your fingers. The frame is solid. The underbody is solid. Any surface rust could be removed and some undercoating applied to bring it back to excellent shape. There is a small rust spot behind the rear bumper on one side. The front bumper one the driver's side corner is bent back about half and inch, due to an appear bump into something. There are some chips in the paint on the front of the hood. The interior is nearly immaculate, and one will be surprised to see how good of condition it is in. If you are reading this, then you probably know what these vehicles are. The most remarkable aspect of this one, is that the body and interior are in such good condition. This might just be one of the nicest original Raiders left in existence, period. I really like this thing, and I had big plans to fix it up. Unfortunately for me, I no longer have the time or the money to invest in another project. I just want to get rid of it. Not to mention I need the space in my garage. It has been in my garage since early this year, I just got it out to take some pictures. Like I said, it starts right up, runs and drives. I moved it under its own power. I have not driven it on the road, so I cannot attest to any condition of its roadworthiness. I only moved it around my property. Anyone is welcome to come inspect the vehicle, just send me a message to set up a time. The Raider has a clean Pennsylvania title in my name. There are local notary services where the buyer and myself can go to during normal business hours to transfer the title. Buyer is responsible for paying any fees associated with the transfer transaction, and/or any registration, plates, tags, etc. Buyer is responsible for any towing or shipping arrangements. I will accept a PayPal payment, or cash payment only. No personal checks, no cashiers checks. I reserve the right to relist the vehicle for auction if the winning bidder has not either made full payment, or has not contacted me to tell me when I will receive payment (i.e. when they are coming to pay cash), within 3 days of the auction's close. Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for looking. Have a good day.

FCA compromises with France, moving Renault merger bid forward
Tue, Jun 4 2019FRANKFURT/PARIS – Renault directors were preparing to review Fiat Chrysler's $35 billion merger offer on Tuesday, after the Italian-American carmaker resolved differences with the French government overnight, three sources said. The compromise on French government influence over a combined FCA-Renault may clear the way for Renault's board to approve a framework agreement beginning the long process of a full merger, unless new issues surface at the meeting. France, Renault's biggest shareholder with a 15% stake, had been pressing for its own guaranteed seat on the new board and an effective veto on CEO appointments. But after late-night talks with FCA Chairman John Elkann, the French government has accepted a compromise that would see it occupy one of four board seats allocated to Renault, balanced by four FCA appointees, the sources said. Renault would also cede one of its two seats on a four-member CEO nominations committee to the French state, they said. Renault, FCA and the French government all declined to comment on the discussions. The same evening that the compromise was was negotiated, activist hedge fund CIAM wrote to the board of Renault to say it "strongly opposed" a planned $35 billion merger with Fiat Chrysler. Calling the deal "opportunistic," the fund said the current deal terms strongly favored Fiat Chrysler and offered no control premium.

WM Motors releases renderings based on Mitsubishi photos
Thu, Dec 1 2016An interesting gaffe has reared its head as WM Motors has published the first images depicting its new car portfolio. The renders showing Chinese electric vehicle startup's future cars appear to have been based on Mitsubishi Outlander press photos, as discovered by Electrek's Fred Lambert. It is one thing to show mere renders of future cars – that is certainly widely accepted, as the cars are planned to be launched in 2018 at the earliest – but it's the background that gives away how the renders are based on doctored Mitsubishi shots. Details are shared between the Outlander and WM Motors' rendering, with wheels, mirrors and doorhandles directly lifted off the Mitsu; in practice, the comparison shots become a pastime of "spot the similarities." The SUV is said to be designed by a former Bentley and Volkswagen designer, Sam Sun, but it is not yet clear whether he meant the production vehicle to share its decorative rear diffuser panel with a Mitsubishi. Perhaps these were work images never really meant for official publication, as they handily show the SUV's dimensions on the road. In addition to Electrek, Google seems to also be on the game, as a reverse image search on the VM Motor shots produces Mitsubishi suggestions. According to Car News China, which circulated the images, WM stands for either Weltmeister (world champion in German), or weima in Chinese, which means a powerful horse. The company is spearheaded by Freeman Shen, formerly of Geely, and the Suzhou factory is planned to produce 50,000 cars per year starting in 2018. There is talk of the cars featuring Huawei connectivity technology, with the hardware being produced together with the German companies Bosch and Siemens.

The worst rally driver you've ever seen
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Fast cars and excellent driving skills might be the easy answers when asking how to succeed in rally racing, but after watching this video, a good teammate is obviously an important aspect of this sport, too. During the 2013 Rally of Coimbatore in India, driver Samir Thapar and his co-driver, Vivek Ponnusamy, didn't seem to be on the same page as the two attempted to navigate the course in their Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
We'd probably hear drastically different stories if we talked to Thapar and Ponnusamy about this particular event, but you know things are bad when "stay on road" and "turn the wheel" are commands given by the co-driver (and yes, that's a man running for his life in the screen shot shown above). As it turned out, though, it seems like the Ponnusamy was justified in his concerns to take care of the racecar. Race results show that despite winning three of the seven stages, this team ultimately ended the race with a DNF.
Scroll down to watch the video, and even though it's been edited down from almost 40 minutes to less than four, we get the idea that it wasn't a pleasant experience for driver or co-driver.
