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

Junkyard Gem: 1977 Dodge Colt Mileage Maker Coupe

Sat, Dec 11 2021

While Ford and GM each had the resources to develop their own Michigan-designed subcompacts for the dawn of the 1970s— the Pinto and Vega, respectively— Chrysler couldn't afford the huge price tag for such a project. Instead, Chrysler's European operations were tapped for a couple of models that sold well enough on the other side of the Atlantic, giving us the Plymouth Cricket (known as the Hillman Avenger in the UK) and the Simca 1204 (aka the Simca 1100 in France). American car shoppers gave those two models the cold shoulder, but then Chrysler found genuine sales success by making a deal with Mitsubishi to sell the Colt Galant with left-hand drive. This became the Dodge Colt, with sales beginning in the 1971 model year. Though the 1971-1978 rear-wheel-drive Colts were once as commonplace as Corollas or B210s on American roads, they have all but disappeared today. That makes today's Junkyard Find, discovered in a Denver-area yard last week, particularly interesting. This car shows signs of having been in the hands of a speed-crazed enthusiast owner, including an aftermarket steering wheel and one-piece racing seats with slots for five-point harnesses. The primer-gray paint is another clue. The rear-wheel-drive Colts were reasonably quick for their time, and they could be made genuinely quick with basic engine upgrades. This Mitsubishi Saturn four-banger has a tube header, hot-rod ignition system, and a two-barrel (Mikuni-made) Solex carburetor. We can assume there's probably some kind of cam upgrade under the valve cover, too. The shifter is gone, but the original transmission in this car was either the base four-speed or optional five-speed manual. A three-speed automatic was available for $270 (about $1,275 today). Later on, front-wheel-drive Colts (and Mitsubishi Mirages) could be bought with the Twin-Stick overdrive rig, which gave drivers eight forward speeds and the opportunity to make Twin-Stick beer taps. The 1977-1978 Dodge Colt two- and four-door sedans were based on the Mitsubishi Lancer and were a bit smaller than the 1971-1977 cars, while the wagon version moved to the Galant Sigma platform. The build tag shows that this car started life as the cheapest 1977 Colt model, the "Mileage Maker" two-door sedan (Dodge dealers called it a coupe, so that's what I'm calling it in the title).

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Mitsubishi Raider DuroCross 4WD

Sun, Apr 21 2024

Chrysler began selling Mitsubishi Triton pickups with Dodge D-50 and Plymouth Arrow badging in the 1979 model year, followed by the Mitsubishi Pajero aka Montero with Dodge Raider badges for 1987 through 1989. That Raider name sounded so good that Mitsubishi Motors decided to revive it when they began selling a new pickup based on the Dodge Dakota in the United States. Today's Junkyard Gem is a first-year Mitsubishi Raider, found in a Denver car graveyard recently. The Raider was mechanically identical to its same-year Dakota counterparts and it was built alongside the Dakota at Warren Truck Assembly, but it had its own body and interior designs. The Raider was built for the 2006 through 2009 model years, after which it was discontinued due to poor sales (just under 22,000 total). It wasn't as humiliating for Mitsubishi as the Ascender and I-Series (both thinly disguised Chevrolet models) were for once-proud Isuzu, but that isn't saying much. There's no need for us to bring up the puzzling Suzuki Equator here, is there? This one is a DuroCross, which came with lower suspension, black plastic wheel flares and a front bumper that looked skid-plate-like. It also has the most powerful engine available in the '06 Raider: a 4.7-liter V8 rated at 230 horsepower.  The 4.7 is a member of the Chrysler PowerTech engine family, which has an ancestry stretching all the way back to the American Motors Corporation. AMC began development of new overhead-cam V6 and V8 engines just before Chrysler purchased the company in 1987, and the 4.7-liter V8 made its debut in the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 2009 Raider was the last new Mitsubishi pickup sold in the United States, though Mexican truck shoppers can still enjoy mas poder de aventura by buying a new Mitsubishi Triton with L200 badges. Who knows, if it's possible to find Mexican-market Peugeot 407s, Dacia Logans, Dacia Dusters and Opel Corsas in Colorado junkyards, I may yet find a discarded Mitsubishi L200. It was much more intimidating than an ordinary Dakota.

What $40k worth of lights and chrome does to a JDM truck

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Japan's dekotora truck culture allows big rig drivers to express themselves by decking out their vehicles with a plethora of blinking lights and shining chrome. While we occasionally catch glimpses of this automotive lifestyle in the US, this short documentary called Dekotora, Another Roadside Attraction takes viewers inside the dekotora truck scene with someone who actually drives one everyday. Takuya Sosogi carries fresh vegetables between markets and claims he has covered the over 2 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) in his dekotora. He also has spent around 5 million yen ($46,200 at current rates) to make his Mitsubishi Fuso light up the night. At this point the truck has become among the most important parts of his life. Sosogi believes that taking good care of his rig is akin to looking after himself. Despite the blinking lights and polished metal, Sosogi's truck is almost subdued by dekotora standards. Some of the rigs feature lighting rigs that rise high into the sky and sport crazy body modifications. Watch the entire documentary above for a look into this fascinating Japanese automotive subculture. Related Video:
