 Nice classic 1987 Mitsubishi Montero for No reserve auction.
The truck is silver with blue and gray interior. Its roof is painted with a black enamel to simulate a removable top. Looks good! Custom roof rack is sturdy but is making a little whistling sound.
Interior is a good 6 out of 10 I think. Radio and cassette work well. Seats have good support, driver seat has a split so it has seat covers. No rear seat, it is open for cargo and gear and has a fair amount of space. Carpet is worn, but ok. Headliner has been removed because it was in disrepair. I was going to clean it up and paint it, but didn't get to it. Gas gauge only works when the tank is full to 3/4 full, float mechanism probably needs to be lubricated. The dash has some sun fade and one crack near where the driver enters the truck. No AC. Not sure it ever had it. Awesome crank windows for reliability.
The engine runs well. The truck shows high mileage. I have no paperwork that came with the truck so I don't know what kind of work it has had or not.
The transmission shifts well through all gears as well as reverse. I have never used the 4WD on the truck. I have no reason to believe it doesnt work. I feel like the trick needs new shocks before being driven off road or put in extreme situations. I just use it to cruise around town and to go to work 5 miles away. Wheels are original and painted black. Tires are just ok... I would replace them if I were to keep the truck.
This is a great starter truck with virtually no rust, straight body, and nice glass.
I got a new vehicle that I want to focus on so I want to put this Mitsubishi in the hands of someone who will enjoy it!
No reserve auction, sold as-is to the lucky winning bidder.
Deposit due at the end of the auction and full payment with in 7 days via paypal or cash in hand.

Thanks for looking and Good Luck!

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

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:
