1995 Mitsubishi 3000gt Spyder Sl Retractable Hardtop Convertible on 2040-cars
North Wales, Pennsylvania, United States
This 3000gt Spyder is #519 of only 1,034 ever sold and #47 of only 95 Glacier White Pearl, manufactured in 1995 according to the 3000gt Spyder Registry. The entire car looks and runs like it did in 1995 just off the showroom floor.
I checked out this one-owner 3000gt Spyder this past Spring at an Infinity dealer in Virginia. The car was in mint condition but they couldn’t sell it because retractable hardtop didn’t work. I have owned 5 Spyder’s over the years, enjoy working on them, and was looking for a short term project. I purchased the car knowing I could fix the top because I have the TopLink computer program to diagnose the problem. I replaced some top parts, recalibrated and now it is working flawlessly (see video below).

The previous owner purchased the car for $57,449. According to the dealer, the 70 year old owner said it was garage kept and only driven in good weather. I don’t think it ever saw rain until is sat on the lot at the Infinity dealer. Brand new Michelin 245/45 ZR17 Pilot Sport Zero Pressure tires, Mitsubishi OEM chrome rims which, I assume, are also brand new because they still have the silver dot on them from the factory. It currently has a state of the art Alpine MP3, CD, USB, Receiver with hands-free Bluetooth calling. The original stock radio is included with the purchase. No wear on leather seats, absolutely pristine inside and out. This car is in better shape than my prize Spyder VR4 with only 45,000 miles on it. Below are more photos and a video showing the car starting (no smoke) and engine running (no valve tap).

Mexican police seize engine-powered drug cannon
Fri, 01 Mar 2013It seems like we're always hearing about new ways in which people are trying to smuggle things into the US from Mexico - including simply driving over the wall. Case in point? Mexican police have found yet another way criminals are attempting to get drugs over the border. Mexicali police have seized what looks to be either a Mitsubishi Mighty Max or Dodge Ram 50 pickup, equipped with what is essentially an oversized spud gun in the bed used to shoot marijuana over the border.
Constructed from a metal tank and a large plastic pipe, The Guardian reports that this drug cannon actually uses a car engine to build up enough air pressure to launch up to 13 kilos of marijuana at a time. Mexicali police were alerted to this truck when their US counterparts found drug packages on this side of the border. As of yet, there is no word as to how the vehicle was caught and whether any arrests resulted.
Long-serving Mitsubishi president Masuko to step aside
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Long-struggling Mitsubishi Motors is reportedly preparing for a changing of the guard at home. According to Reuters, Osamu Masuko will step aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa, currently the company's managing director. Masuko won't be leaving the fold entirely, however - he will take the role of chairman, displacing Takashi Nishioka, who will resign. The shakeup has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi, but word is that the changes will take effect April 1.
Mitsu's US troubles are no secret, but the brand's struggles in its home market haven't been quite so publicized. The company was bailed out by other arms of the Mitsubishi empire, and it just raised $2 billion this month to buy back preferred shares that were issued during the bailout. Masuko served as president for nearly ten years, during which the brand's US efforts utterly stalled out, recalls cropped up in Japan and an alliance with Daimler (which was DaimlerChrysler at the time) disintegrated.
According to Reuters, establishing the kind of alliances that will allow the brand to grow, such as its tie-up with Renault-Nissan, are key to Mitsu's long-term success. The thought is that an alliance will allow the brand to come up with some innovative models that won't be compromised by its lack of production scale. It looks like Aikawa has his work cut out for him.
2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 3
Thu, 27 Jun 2013The third practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is done. While the other classes got running time on the middle and top sections of the course, qualifying times were set on the bottom section of the course for the Open, Open Wheel, Electric, Exhibition and Vintage classes.
Everyone managed to keep it on the black stuff today, Greg Tracy setting the fastest time ahead of Hiroshi Masuoka, both men driving the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution II four-wheel-drive prototype. Not even half a second behind Masuoka came Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima in his Monster Sport E-Runner, who has taken about 18 seconds off his time since the first practice day. Rod Millen was the fourth fastest on the day in his Toyota TMG EV POO2.
Topping the Open Wheel class was Clint Vahsholtz, followed by Donner Billingsley, Andy Figueroa and Rodney O'Maley. The only driver in that class not to be given a time today was Dan Novembre. Kenshiro Gushi took the Exhibition class today as his Lexus IS F CCS-R made it up the mountain in 4:27.248, followed by Sage Marie in the Honda CR-Z at 5:19.591. Simon Pagenaud and his Honda Odyssey weren't classified.
