Vehicle Description
1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL Coupe
"What Mitsubishi set out to do was to cram every bit of high-tech
gadgetry available into its 2 plus 2 3000GT, making it one of the
most advanced sports cars on the planet.". Despite its credentials,
the 3000GT can trace its lineage to a little-known car called the
Starion. A rear-wheel drive car, the Starion, was initially
conceived as competition for the Nissan Z cars of the 1980's. The
Starion when released was a technological wonder for its day and
sent many rivals back to the drawing board to create turbo cars for
their line-ups. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end,
so when Mitsubishi began planning for the car that would become the
company's replacement for the Starion, they literally started with
a clean sheet of paper.
For consignment, an all original, low original mileage sports car.
Possessing technology within that would make the grade in cars of
an era say for instance 2016. This technologically advanced machine
has only logged a title verified 26,258 miles. It has original
paint, a comfortable interior, and of course all that motoring
technology to go with it. This car is 1 of 815 produced in this
color and trim for the 1995 model year.
Exterior
Original factory Panama Green Mica drapes this low mileage car and
is seen throughout the exterior. A few chip off are noted along
with some heavy clear coat degradation, some scuffs, as well as a
few dings, but certainly no rust. A rounded nose molds the neoprene
bumper which sports running lights, some aero fins and fog lamps
within the grille, and side intake air venting. Just above, the
headlights ahead of their time in the form of projector type
headlamps are present and hide under clear plastic covers. A coke
bottle design with wider quarters than the doors all gaps are well
minded. Just behind the doors is more faux intake venting, and on
the back deck is a permanently mounted fixed spoiler. On top, a
full roof sunroof can be flipped up to increase airflow into the
cabin. All exterior glass is scratch free and in good condition and
is all surrounded by black trimmings. 16-inch multi-spoke alloy
wheels are wrapped in 225/55R16's on all 4 corners.
Interior
Racetrack inspired curves make up the charcoal black molded plastic
door panels which house the window and lock toggles and a large
speaker. A vented off-white vinyl panel is inserted just below the
sill and is a hint of what you'll see in the interior. Speaking of
which, Ivory leather wraps the two overstuffed front buckets which
show power adjustments on the driver's side seat. Heavy wear is
present on the driver's seat and includes color loss, material
wear, and a few tears in the perforated leather lower cushion. For
the rear a tubbed 2 plus 2 rear bench is in back and does not
afford the most room, but is comfy to sit in. A Mitsubishi Infinity
audio is controllable from the leather wrapped tilt-able steering
wheel for the AM/FM/Cassette functions and is equipped with a
factory graphic equalizer. Very clean taupe colored lighter
carpeting is seen on the floors and an ivory broadcloth headliner
frames the factory sunroof above.
Drivetrain
A 3.0 Liter 24 valve EFI 6-cylinder engine lies under the hood and
is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission allowing this car to
be a rocket ship! On the axles, power pulses through a 4.153 front
driven final drive.
Undercarriage
A nice gray and black patina covers all surfaces underneath. Just a
hint or two of some surface rust, but not on structural parts.
Fairly simple under here as it has been left mostly blank to aid in
the aero package. For handling we see MacPherson front struts, and
on back coil springs with trailing arms. Power disc brakes on all 4
corners harness all that power and bring it to a fast stop.
Drive-Ability
This all working, nicely preserved early Japanese techno car fired
right up and worked like a charm. Fast acceleration, great
handling, and smooth shifting. Braking was bias free on the panic
stop test. All was very comfortable and exhibited a nice ergonomic
design for this driver.
A rare, low mile example that has not been torn up by a person from
a younger generation, rocket ship. Original paint, engine, and
interior. Just press the gas and add a smile to your face in
reaction to that press!
