1988 Mitsubishi Montero 2-Door 4WD VIN: JJ417059 You are viewing a rust-free 1st Generation Mitsubishi Montero 2-door. The very capable off-road ability of this four-wheel drive utility vehicle makes it destined to join the ranks of the much sought after FJ Land-Cruisers here in the US. In recent years the pricing and resale value of the Gen-1 Montero has shown a steep increase and will continue as the word begins to come in from other countries that have already recognized this as a coveted off road collectible for many years. This is an opportunity to get a clean unit at an affordable price. The current mileage on this unit is 232,704. The owner is a mechanic that purchased this in 2004 with 216,000 miles on it. At that time the engine was removed for overhaul, the front and rear axles, and transmission disassembled inspected and resealed, and all worn bearings replaced. The clutch is a new heavy-duty unit. Also all suspension items were rebuilt including; upper/lower control arm bushings and shafts, upper/lower ball joints, sway bar bushings, and leaf-spring bushings. It has been stored indoors for the last ten years. The engine is the inline-4 cylinder G54B with 2.6L displacement. It has had the updated timing chain with removal of the balancer that previously would fail on these engines. The original carburetor was replaced with a Weber 38DGE. The original jet-valve type cylinder head was replaced with an upgraded non-jet valve head that is ported and polished for performance. The original exhaust manifold was replaced with headers for increased performance. Overall the performance of the engine is far superior to the somewhat anemic stock engine. The engine is also a good candidate for turbocharging as this cylinder block boasts the piston cooling jets that came with the Starion version of the G54B. The alternator was replaced 2000 miles ago with a new Mitsubishi OEM unit just because it was original. The original was non-failed and will go with the unit as a spare. The body has 2-inches of urethane spacers and the suspension has an additional 2-inches of lift to provide clearance for the 32X11.50 R15 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires on Eagle Alloy 15x10 wheels. The spare is the same. The tires have approximately 3,500 miles on them with plenty of wear to go. The lift on this will allow up to 35” tires but the 32” provide for a good combination of on and off road usage without having to use the low-range on the transfer case. The owner has the original wheels and body hardware, as well as most of the original engine parts in case the buyer wants to bring it back to its original “low rider” stature. The unit also has an oil accumulator (for off-roading oil pressure stability on uneven terrain), and an on-board air compressor for airing back up the tires for on-road use. The seats are original and the driver’s side has a tear on the outboard side. The paint has some minor scratches and dings. The transmission is moist with oil, but does not drip oil. The engine has minor smoke on initial startup (valve guide seals). The stereo does not work, but the original is still intact and works if hooked up. It was disconnected when an aftermarket unit was put in. The dash has room for a stereo and CB if desired. The owner also has many new spare parts that will go with this beautiful SUV to the lucky bidder if they wish. Buyer is responsible for shipping within one-week of sale. Sale is final upon receipt of cashier’s check or money order for the full sale amount. Thank you! |

Europe on track to buy more PHEVs than hybrids by 2019
Mon, Apr 27 2015LMC Automotive, formerly the forecasting division of J.D. Power & Associates, predicts that plug-in hybrids will sell better than conventional hybrids by 2019. By 2021, it envisions PHEV sales at 600,000 units yearly compared to 325,000 standard hybrid sales, and by 2024 PHEV sales are expected to account for 1.2 million sales every year. Part of LMC's prediction is based on a few factors, such as that it believes "electric-only operation will come to be seen as a true luxury characteristic and will be prized sufficiently to command significant premiums." Certain PHEVs are helped in countries like the UK and The Netherlands by generous incentives or other perks, like avoiding inner London's congestion charge, that allow them to address their price differences compared to standard offerings. And the number of PHEVs on the market will soon eclipse regular hybrids, coming from makers across the spectrum. Volvo has twice recently, and only belatedly, learned of the popularity of PHEVs: in 2013 it had to triple production of the V60 PHEV, and just this month it said demand for its XC90 PHEV is four times expectations. The Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid is outselling the traditional hybrid Panamera by more than seven-to-one. And then there's Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Europe's best-selling PHEV with 19,855 units, a volume more than three times larger than the second-best seller. Although LMC sees hybrid growth slowing, they're still doing well. Toyota and Lexus build the top-five selling traditional hybrids in Europe, combining for 72 percent of European sales, with the new Auris and Yaris hybrids alone selling 123,506 units in 2014. For LMC's forecast to come true, Europe will need a spectacular change in buying habits, since the top ten conventional hybrids tallied 175,847 sales in 2014, and the top ten PHEVs rang up 36,138 sales.

Mitsubishi exec says Evo 'will be replaced in spirit' by high-po hybrid SUV
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Stop us if you've heard this one: According to Autocar, the current generation will be the last Mitsubishi Evolution we will ever see.
That, while unfortunate for driving enthusiasts, is a reality we've had plenty of time to digest. The days of wanton fuel burning for the sake of speed and power will soon come to an end. But that doesn't mean the days of performance have to die, too. "Green is still fun to drive," said Mitsubishi UK boss Lance Bradley in a conversation with Autocar. "It's a challenge to make it fun, but not a particularly difficult one. Electric vehicle performance is very good."
So, should we expect a new hybrid sedan to take up the mantle left by the Evo? Not so much. The British magazine quotes Kanenori Okamoto of Mitsubishi as saying, "It will be replaced in spirit by an SUV with high performance," which will apparently incorporate lessons learned in the automaker's efforts at Pikes Peak. The Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution III, which handily broke the EV record at the famed mountain course, will donate much of its high-performance, zero-emissions technology to the project, including its Super All Wheel Control four-wheel-drive system.
Mitsubishi to add new crossover to US lineup
Tue, Nov 3 2015With crossovers of all sizes enjoying immense popularity with consumers, Mitsubishi is making a grab for some of the action with a third CUV offering. The as-of-yet unnamed vehicle is set to slot in between the baby Outlander Sport and the full-size Outlander, CEO Osamu Masuko told Automotive News ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show. Aimed squarely at the crossover-crazy US and European markets, this new vehicle will likely enter production two years from now. That should mean an auto show debut at Paris or Los Angeles in 2016, or at some point in early 2017. The new vehicle would duke it out with the redesigned Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tuscon. If it sounds like this new CUV would cannibalize some of its little brother's sales, you'd be right. To prevent this, Mitsu will tweak the sizes of the vehicles it currently offers. "The Outlander is growing in size, while the Outlander Sport is getting smaller, so it opens a space for the new SUV," Masuko told AN. "We need something to fit in between." Having a three-tiered CUV lineup might help Mitsubishi, which has enjoyed 26 percent sales growth through September this year. According to AN, over half of Mitsu's current sales come from the Outlander and Outlander Sport. Adding a third CUV would capitalize on a US market that's clamoring for light trucks and crossovers. Before the third model debuts, the next step for the brand will be the arrival of a plug-in hybrid Outlander. You can look for our review on that next year.
