1988 Dodge Raider Mitsubishi Montero 4wd 2.6 (barn Kept For Last 10 Years) on 2040-cars
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, United States

I wish to sell my 1988 Dodge Raider, also known as a Mitsubishi Montero. I will describe the vehicle to the best of my ability and also the summary of my acquisition of it and any work that has been done to my knowledge. First, I bought the Raider several months ago, with the intention to "fix it up". It was a local vehicle advertised for sale with a "bad engine." It was also noted that the vehicle had not been on the road, and stored in a barn, for approximately ten years. The condition of the body and interior would seem to validate that statement. Additionally, the Pa inspection sticker displayed on the windshield expired in 2004. The first thing I noticed about it, was that it was in surprisingly good cosmetic condition. I got the Raider started a few days after I brought it home. I did start, however the motor had a noticeable knock. A long story short, I ended up pulling the oil pan and discovered that one of the rod bearings had completely disintegrated. It looked as though the previous owners had not run the motor much after the knock developed, as the crank had minimal scoring. Since I was having trouble finding a replacement motor, I put a new bearing in, and put everything back together. Of course it is usually not advisable to replace a bearing where there is even the least visible scoring, but I didn't have the resources to get everything done like new. Now, the motor runs fine, but there is a small knock when it is first started, which seems to disappear within a few seconds. To be honest, sometimes you can hear a faint knock or rattle type sound. I do not know what this is, or how it relates to the initial bearing failure. The motor feels strong. It does not appear that there was any damage to any of the cylinders. It might be prudent to completely rebuild the motor, or replace it. The brakes barely work. I do not know why, I have not looked into it. It could be something very simple, due to the vehicle sitting for 10 years. Also, it will need tires since they are prone to dry rotting and flat spots after sitting for such a lengthy period. As far the body and interior, they are in very good condition, as can be seen in the pictures. There is only a few minor spots of rust. The undercarriage does have same small surface rust, which can easily be peeled off with your fingers. The frame is solid. The underbody is solid. Any surface rust could be removed and some undercoating applied to bring it back to excellent shape. There is a small rust spot behind the rear bumper on one side. The front bumper one the driver's side corner is bent back about half and inch, due to an appear bump into something. There are some chips in the paint on the front of the hood. The interior is nearly immaculate, and one will be surprised to see how good of condition it is in. If you are reading this, then you probably know what these vehicles are. The most remarkable aspect of this one, is that the body and interior are in such good condition. This might just be one of the nicest original Raiders left in existence, period. I really like this thing, and I had big plans to fix it up. Unfortunately for me, I no longer have the time or the money to invest in another project. I just want to get rid of it. Not to mention I need the space in my garage. It has been in my garage since early this year, I just got it out to take some pictures. Like I said, it starts right up, runs and drives. I moved it under its own power. I have not driven it on the road, so I cannot attest to any condition of its roadworthiness. I only moved it around my property. Anyone is welcome to come inspect the vehicle, just send me a message to set up a time. The Raider has a clean Pennsylvania title in my name. There are local notary services where the buyer and myself can go to during normal business hours to transfer the title. Buyer is responsible for paying any fees associated with the transfer transaction, and/or any registration, plates, tags, etc. Buyer is responsible for any towing or shipping arrangements. I will accept a PayPal payment, or cash payment only. No personal checks, no cashiers checks. I reserve the right to relist the vehicle for auction if the winning bidder has not either made full payment, or has not contacted me to tell me when I will receive payment (i.e. when they are coming to pay cash), within 3 days of the auction's close. Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for looking. Have a good day.

2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo
Fri, Oct 27 2023The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time).

Mitsubishi eX Concept portends an electric future
Wed, Oct 28 2015Mitsubishi's future is electric, and the Japanese brand's eX Concept presents its vision for a crossover EV for the years to come at the Tokyo Motor Show. At the same time, the company is using this opportunity to show off some next-gen tech that could arrive in production models someday. To get around, the all-wheel-drive eX Concept packs front and rear electric motors that each produce 94 horsepower, and they're powered by a 45-kilowatt-hour, lithium-ion battery under the passenger compartment. For added traction, the torque split is variable between the back wheels, and braking can adjust things at the nose. Plus, sensors and cameras can read the road ahead and tweak the system accordingly. The eX portends what's next for the company's design language, but traces from the latest Outlander are still visible. Up front, there's a revised version of the brand's X-shaped grille that Mitsubishi calls the Dynamic Shield, but here the turn signals and LED running lights are placed at the top. The concept's bigger innovation to the brand's styling language is the floating roof that makes the side glass appear to wrap around the body. Mitsubishi highlights some future tech inside by using an augmented reality windshield. The idea is to display important info right on the glass to keep a driver's eye on the road, and it also means just a few digital displays are necessary for the physical instruments. For safety, a front-mounted camera and radar also help spot pedestrians and other potential hazards. Mitsubishi goes into elaborate detail about all of the eX's features in the announcement below. MITSUBISHI eX Concept – World Premiere ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Evolution in EV Technology + Heart-thumping SUV Allure Next-generation Compact SUV ?The MITSUBISHI eX Concept is a vision for a compact SUV powered by a next-generation EV system. In terms of design, overall it evokes the image of a sports crossover zipping nimbly around town as it merges the elegance and stylishness of a "shooting brake" (a term for a coupe with flowing styling fused with a hatchback car, the term originates from British hunting-use horse carriages) with compact SUV lines. The front end expresses a new interpretation of MMC's Dynamic Shield front design concept. In both its exterior and interior, the MITSUBISHI eX Concept indicates the direction MMC Design is taking.
Mitsubishi to showcase eX crossover concept in Tokyo
Fri, Oct 9 2015The Tokyo Motor Show is coming up at the end of the month, and Mitsubishi isn't about to sit it out. That's where the Diamond Star automaker will unveil the eX Concept pictured here. The electric crossover concept packs what the company terms as a "next-generation EV system" into what looks at first blush like a rather dramatic design. Mitsubishi is telling us next to nothing about the eX and its specifications. However, it indicates that the concept incorporates an all-electric powertrain, all-wheel drive, an automated driving system, vehicle connectivity, and active safety systems. The automaker has also only revealed the one rendering above, but it bears all the hallmarks of a modern Mitsubishi concept like the ones we've seen in recent years. That includes the company's signature Diamond Shield front grille, flanked by narrow, angular headlights and oversized running lamps. Naturally, this concept rides on oversized wheels and boasts spindly little mirrors, all in an effort to tell us this is a bonafide show car and not a pre-production prototype. We'll look forward to seeing more in the near future, but in the meantime you can delve into what little Mitsubishi is telling us at this point in the press release below.
