Production of the Mitsubishi 3000GT (and the Dodge Stealth corporate cousin) started in 1990 (and continued through the 2000 model year) and was met applause and love from the motoring world. However, if you wanted a sun-friendly version, you were fresh outta luck. Until Mitsu worked with ASC (American Specialty Cars) to create the 3000GT […]
The Mitsubishi 3000GT (and Dodge Stealth RT) was this crazy supercar built by Mitsubishi with a twin turbo V6 and all-wheel-drive and a 6-speed manual — sold as a competitor to the Toyota Supra and Honda NSX. The Mitsu/Stealth was rad except that you could also get the car with a non-turbo engine AND front-wheel-drive […]
I’m not going to sit here and wax nostalgic about how awesome the Dodge/Plymouth Colt was because few people have fond memories of early 90s domestic econoboxes, but this was no domestic. The Plymouth Colt was a rebadge Mitsubishi Mirage, which I do have fond memories of tossing through corners and slamming through the gears […]
Am I nuts when I say that a 1996 Eagle Talon with only 57k miles on the odometer offered for less than $5k seems like a great deal? Have I been drinking the bring yer trailer Kool Aid? Is this a good price for a slushbox equipped base model (160 hp 4-banger) front-drive 90s car…because […]
Back in the mid 1980s if you wanted a Mitsubishi with a turbo engine in the front and rear wheel drive, you had four cars to choose from — the Mitsubishi Starion, Dodge Conquest, Plymouth Conquest, and Chrysler Conquest…but they were really the same car with different badges. Today’s next example of the Conquestarion has […]
This next car comes as a tip from Jeff G who writes: 92 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, manual, 55k miles, 1-owner car. They’re pretty proud of it, but gonna be hard pressed to find a better looking one of these… That is very true, because most Eclipses from the 90s have long been turned into drag […]
Back before AMG became the designator of sportiness in a new Mercedes-Benz, the German company would work with OEMs to turn out tuned version of their cars. We mostly think of AMG for their work with Mercedes-Benz sedans (C36 AMG, for instance) but there was a time when they collaborated with Mitsubishi to turn out […]
The trick to a happy life involves some kind of balance in most of the things that you do. Exercise, eating, drinking…these are given, but what about cars? You should also balance the size of your off-road vehicle somewhere between little things like the Suzuki Samurai and giant beasts like a GMC Yukon…which is exactly […]
The facebreak people had some DNS related issues yesterday that lead to some downtime for its captive audience of mindless automaton baby boomers and I think I discovered the source. This Minica Toppo was too much for its antiquated servers and got caught in a maelstrom of conflicting anti-spam anti-fake-news anit-bot software that caused a […]
The Dodge Colt was an imported Mitsubishi Mirage with a Dodge emblem and is either an interesting cheap classic if you never had to rely on one for daily driving use or a total pile of garbage if you needed drive one for many miles a day. The little pony is covered in TURBO stickers, but the “twin-stick” (it is a 4-speed gearbox with a 2-speed transfer case controlled by that dainty lever to the left of the stick) is either a neat trick to entertain your passengers or just something else to break…depending on how you feel about this kinda thing. Find this 1984 Dodge Colt GTS offered for $3950 in Elk Grove, CA via craigslist. Tip from Jason.
