About this vehicle This 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT is an original. The owner has had it for 5+ years. The vehicle runs great and is not regularly driven. Seller"s Notes This is a 100% original Rare & Sought Mitsubishi GTO and is comsidered the first Japanese Super Car with it’s VR4 models twin turbo, all wheel drive rear wheel steering 5 speed manual transmission automatic front and rear aero spoilers that add downforce at speeds over 50mph Along with its 300+HP (conservatively estimated for US Insurance companies) combined to produce a car decades ahead of its time & all the other manufacturers, If any manufacturers offered the identical options on any 2 door import sports car today in 2020 it would surely have a MSRP of close to 6 figures, This is one of the very few Mitsubishi GTO’s that has been stored away in a collection & was left 100% original so this is your chance to own a piece of history that will continue to appreciate for years & years! Exterior https:/ youtu.be/hNwBvW_wvN4 If you want to know everything about these cars then watch the above YOUTUBE link to a 1991 Motortrend short video explaining how these cars were so advanced for their time by having options that are only available on todays world Supercars, with their 300+ hp out of its Twin Turbo 6 cyl, with it being AWD along with rear steering , manual transmission and an active front & rear spoiler that goes up and down to provide downforce when the speed of the car goes in excess of 50mph. These options on a vehicle that could be bought new in 1991 for under $40,000 had never before been available on a vehicle that wasnt 6 figures or more. Because of these vehicles offering so much at prices the average person could afford and the ease of getting 400-500hp out of their factory engines at a fraction of the cost compared to making that much horsepower with the other sports cars manufactured during that time instantly made these cars highly sought after, hard to find & therefore were considered one of the premier Japanese collector cars. Those of you who have been looking for one of these Mitsubishi GTO’s already know that after the Fast and Furious franchise movies began that finding one of these Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4’s (as they are called in America) that is still factory original , with low miles & completely stock . .,is nearly impossible to do. I have included a picture with the March 2020 this year’s Az. MECUM Collector Car suctions results for the one that was sold there at over $22,000 plus a 10% auction buyer’s fee & sales tax (if they weren’t a registered independent or franchise dealer) basically meant they spent $25,000 for the same car that I am auctioning here on with NO RESERVE. The car at MECUM had been detailed , waxed & pressure washed making it cleaner than mine currently is but I am having in professionally detailed this week and the new owner will have a car that looks like new & can be driven every day or simply pulled in and added to any private collection with out having to do a thing . This Mitsubishi GTO or 3000GT VR4 was pulled out of a personal friends large private collection with some of the finest rare Japanese collector cars I have ever seen under one roof.This car has never been driven in poor weather,not even rain until the night it was being delivered to me on the trailer, I don’t believe the back seats have ever been sat in and honestly the interior is more like a 3 year old car with 7,500 miles rather one that has 75,000 miles & is 30 yrs old. Honestly I feel like the interior can be described as perfect, as there no rips , tears, worn spots, dash or plastic cracks, perfect console, headliner , door panels & seats! Not to mention,everything works like the day it rolled off the showroom floor. There no leaks of any kind, no mechanical issues whatsoever except have some fresh high octane fuel added, since what’s in there is currently 8 yrs old, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot when it is already faster than my early 70’s Z28, my 427 Stingray as well as my 70 BOSS 302 4spd Mustang. My friend who owns this great collection knows these cars like the back of his hand so knowing that all the VR4 cars needed an ECU upgrade, with new fuel injectors and plug wires before they reach 100k miles went on and did all of those things prior to my picking it up. So it’s truly is ready to be enjoyed while keeping it as part of your collection or even if you choose to drive it daily. After watching all the videos on these cars , I decided not to keep this Particular 3000GT VR4 since it is indeed a rare sought after all original collector car that I would simply ruin with big free flowing exhaust , larger turbos , larger wastegates, blow off valves, boost cotroller, bigger ,wider wheels & tires and some kind of performance programmer for the ECU . So take a look at all the pictures I provided, contact me if you want some additional pics or a video or want to schedule a look at it in person, I don’t mind just text me & I will get back with you within the hour. you I appreciate your interest in my NO RESERVE auction where I 100% guarantee an honest auction, I encourage you to contact if you think I am shill bidding or anything other than a transparent honest auction !
