For sale 1992 3000gt one of two soft top convertible with 65xxx miles on the odometer (car fax reports 111xxx miles but I have documentation from 3 months prior to the documented mileage stating 61xxx miles, it seems to have been an error made by a a smog tech) Car was converted by coach builders In 1992 to have a powered convertible top. This is one of the two soft top convertibles built by coach builders that was sold brand new as a soft top and the only coach builder soft top that is a vr4. For non 3000gt enthusiasts a vr4 is the top of the line model sporting a twin turbo 3.0l engine, an all wheel drive drivetrain, active exhaust, active suspension, and active aerodynamics. It also has digital climate control with two stage air conditioning. The original owner purchased this car and had a very high quality shop fabricate a metal wide body for the rear along with molding the rear bumper and having it painted Ferrari yellow. The interior boasts custom yellow face gauges along with yellow stitching on the black leather powered seats and is topped off with a yellow and black momo steering wheel and shift knob. Engine wise it is mostly stock with a few small Bolt ons such as a light weight pulley and polished piping and valve covers. Also it has Spal radiator fans. When I purchased the vehicle I removed the engine cleaned and re-sealed the engine and installed a new water pump, timing belt, hydraulic tensioner and both of the roller bearings. The transmission and transfer case and rear end were all drained and refilled with gear oil and the clutch was replaced with a stage two disk and pressure plate along with a lightweight flywheel with replaceable face (the aftermarket throw out bearing seems to rattle a bit but does not affect drive ability at all). All of the smog equipment was kept intact including all vacumn lines and cat converters. The wheels are custom made Azev wheels that were designed as a staggered fitment to go along with the wide body rear.
The car runs and drives perfect and is a blast to take out for a spin when the weather is nice. The car has been garaged for the entire 2 and a half years I have owned it.
Now for the bad
When I purchased the vehicle it had been sitting at a repo lot for about ten years. Apparently the original owner lost the vehicle along with his business and house and the car was reposed. Having sat in the elements for ten years it has its fair share of wear and tear on the paint and will need to be re-sprayed to get it back to perfect condition, along with the paint fading the rear plastic window has fallen in and would need to be replaced. I've never actually driven the car with the top up so it never bothers me but it is not intact. Also when i purchased the car I disconnected the power wire for the top due to it being located where me knee would hit it accidentally. The top still fully functions and can be hooked up to power or moved manually. The rear active aero also has a small chip in the base but I have a replacement to go with the vehicle that just needs to be paint matched.

Mitsubishi ready to pull Evo's plug
Mon, 31 Mar 2014We have all manner of unofficial metrics in the auto industry. No doubt you've heard some of them, like the butt dyno. Another popular measure is the smiles-per-dollar index - how entertaining is a car versus its price. Cars like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, Scion FR-S and Mini Cooper S, for example, score quite highly, while vehicles like the BMW M5 or Audi RS7 are great to drive, but score lower because of their much higher price tags. For a long time, the king of the smiles-per-dollar index was arguably the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, which blended hair-raising thrills for the price of a well-equipped Ford Fusion Titanium.
Now, it looks like the Evo will need to hand over its title, as this generation of the rally-derived rocket is likely to be Mitsubishi's last - at least for a while. There's been no mention of just when production of the current car will end, so if you're in the market, we'd suggest trying to find a dealer with inventory ASAP. The news comes from the automaker's Japanese mothership, which says the brand will instead focus on utility vehicles and EVs. While there are no direct plans for a successor, an Evo XI as it were, the door remains open for a different kind of beast, according to Mitsubishi.
"Mitsubishi Motors does not have any plans to design a successor with the current concept, as a high-performance four-wheel drive gasoline-powered sedan," said Namie Koketsu, a spokesperson for Mitsubishi, according to Automotive News. "Mitsubishi Motors will explore the possibilities of high-performance models that incorporate electric vehicle technology."
Mitsubishi Evo snow frolic caught by aerial camera
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Guido Tschugg is a professional mountain biker and a Red Bull-sponsored athlete in downhill and four-cross. He's also a fan of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and drifting in the snow, and with the help of filmmaker Mario Feil and drone videographers airv8, the rally car and the powder are combined to glorious effect.
We could continue talking about it, but that would delay you from enjoying the two minutes of frosty beauty in the video below.
Mitsubishi Attrage brochure reveals additional looks, info
Thu, 23 May 2013If you're keen to get a closer look at the upcoming Mitsubishi Attrage global sedan, we've got good news for you. A handful of brochure images have made their way to the web courtesy of IndianAutosBlog.com, complete with driveline details. The compact car looks to have its teeth set on taking a chunk out of the Nissan Versa. The Attrage will launch in Thailand with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine good for 76 horsepower coupled to either a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission. The combination should yield a range of around 570 miles with an 11 gallon tank. We'll save you the math: that's over 50 miles per gallon, though we wouldn't be surprised to see a more powerful, less efficient engine show up on the US-spec model. Buyers can also enjoy snazzy 15-inch alloy wheels.
Expect to find a rearview camera, push-button start, Bluetooth audio and automatic climate control indoors. This information gives us a pretty good idea of what we can expect from the car once it touches down here in the US, though final details - including powertrain - remain likely to change somewhat.
