1998 Mitsubishi 3000 GT Black w/Tan Leather Interior

Baby on the way! Must sell! Low Reserve!

Beautiful car! I purchased this car in March/April 2013 after searching for months for an outstanding well cared for 3000 GT. I am extremely picky with my cars. The car had approximately 50,000 original miles when purchased, the odometer currently reads 57,181. Running Mobil 1 fully synthetic motor oil with Mobil 1 oil filter. I have all repair and maintenance receipts, just ask and I will scan and email them.  The car looks awesome, please see all pictures. No leaks, cold A/C. Current Virginia safety and emissions inspection. After market Kenwood stereo with hands free blue tooth, single CD and MP3. Custom tinted windows by LA Tint. Mitsubishi valve stem caps. Car is nearly 100% stock, excluding the cold air intake, stereo and white front side marker lights (replaced the stock amber lights). Only interior wear is on driver’s seat as you slide in and out of the car. Car runs straight as an arrow down the road. The one reported accident was when I was stopped at a stop light and I was tapped in the rear and my drivers side bumper cover and plastic side skirt were damaged. This was a low impact. Both the bumper and rocker panel side skirt were replaced with factory OEM parts at a USAA recommended body shop. Receipt and details available upon request.

2 Sets of Keys with Remote, Owners Manual, spare tire and jacking equipment

NEW:

Brand new tires and alignment (all tires are matching); Brand new tune up, plugs, wires, distributer cab and rotor; Brand new alternator; Brand new O2 sensors(all); Brand new ignition coil; Brand new catalytic convertor; Brand new alternator belt and power steering serpentine belt; new battery

What it needs:

Please see detailed page attached. The Mitsubishi dealer checked the car from top to bottom and all ignition, fuel system, other system components came back 100% without issue; however the dealer suspects the car needs a new distributor. The car also needs rear brakes, may need calipers and rotors. Please also note the timing belt per the manufacturer is due at 60,000 miles.

This car has been well cared for and can be amazing. Turns heads and looks great going down the road. The car starts and runs, however I would recommend having it towed.

Title in Hand.

If you have questions, please ask before bidding. I will do my best to respond promptly. Thank you.

The reason I would consider having the car towed is because the dealer believes the car needs a distributor(please see detailed picture with dealers findings). The car starts immediately when cold and runs smooth and normal at that time, however when the car is warm it begins to hesitate and may stall.

My car is listed locally as well. Should it sell my auction could end early at my option. Bid soon!

Mitsubishi readies trio of hybrid utility concepts for Tokyo

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Mitsubishi has announced a trio of concept cars it will bring to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to kick off later this month. The three concepts all sport new, edgy styling that is quite a departure from the Mitsus we see here in the states.
First up, we have the Concept GC-PHEV, which we're guessing is the middle vehicle in the photograph up top, as it's supposed to be a larger SUV - think Outlander for this one. From a powertrain standpoint, it sounds quite impressive. A 3.0-liter, supercharged, MIVEC V6 syncs up with an electric motor and a plug-in battery pack, while an an eight-speed automatic transmission dispatches power to all four wheels.
Next, we have the Concept XR-PHEV. We're taking a step down from the GC here, as the XR is meant to compete in the compact-crossover market, which means this could pre-sage the next Outlander Sport. Like the GC, though, it takes advantage of a hybrid powertrain, with a turbocharged, 1.1-liter direct-injection engine providing the grunt. The front-driver also sports a lightweight motor and battery, although specific details about both are scarce. We're thinking the XR-PHEV is the smaller, red vehicle on the right of the image up top.

Mitsubishi to offer new Galant, Montero in US?

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

We admit it - we've been skeptical about Mitsubishi's fortunes here in the US for a long time now, and this month's reveal of the 2014 Mirage subcompact at the New York Auto Show didn't do much to quell our consternation. Yes, the Mirage should attract a certain portion of the buying population based on what will likely be the best fuel economy figures in its segment and a low price, but the profitability of basic small cars is limited even under the best of circumstances. Mitsubishi is clearly going to need something meatier in its portfolio if it wants to get back on track financially.
Help appears to be on the way. According to The Detroit Free Press, Masatoshi Hasegawa, the company's executive vice president here in North America, has confirmed that at least two more models are destined for the company's US dealerships, and it looks like they're going to be entries into higher-volume, higher-margin segments. Hasegawa pledges that the company will overhaul its lineup over the next two to three years, and one of them will be a successor to the often-ignored Galant, a midsize sedan we last saw for the 2012 model year.
And what of the other model? Apparently it will be an unnamed "bigger brother" for the new 2014 Outlander, an acknowledgment that suggests Mitsubishi is considering bringing its Montero/Pajero SUV back to the States. Earlier this month, we heard a report that a next-generation model for the venerable off-roader remains a few years out, but it's possible Mitsubishi might import the current aging model before the new one is produced. A big shift is said to be in the works for the fifth-generation model, with a massive weight loss and possible plug-in hybrid variant tipped as top goals for the program.

This Mitsubishi Colt Galant is a GTO from Japan

Fri, Sep 18 2015

The letters GTO have been used by several automakers – each from different countries. Depending on where your automotive enthusiasm is centered, you might associate the name with Pontiac or with Ferrari. But those weren't the only ones to use those letters. So did Mitsubishi. In fact, the 3000GT (also known as the Dodge Stealth) that competed with the likes of the Toyota Supra and Nissan 300ZX back in the 1990s was sold as the GTO back home in Japan. But Mitsu didn't pull that name out of nowhere. It was merely the revival of an old nameplate. Back in the 1970s, Mitsubishi used those letters on a version of the Colt, of all things. And that's what Petrolicious has profiled in this latest video. This Seventies-era Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO GSR belongs to one Matt De Mangos, an enthusiast, collector, and consummate tinkerer out in California who fell in love with the vintage pocket rocket. Since the Colt Galant GTO was designed for the Japanese Domestic Market, few ever made it to other markets. So De Mangos imported one privately to the United States, and invested a lot of time into researching and restoring the vehicle. The result may not be the usual classic you'd expect to see an American hot-rodder restoring, but that's apparently just the way Matt likes it. Hear his story in the video above.
