Hello, I have for sale a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000 GT that is a one owner car. It was purchased in 1995 and we have all
the original paper work including the window sticker. The car has been driven very little thus it only has 11,142
miles on it. The car is in like new condition. The protective bra was installed to protect the front end from
chips. The paint and finish are just like it was when it left the dealer in 1995. The interior smells like a new
car. This is truly a time capsule in every way. Below is some information about the 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT
Second generation models are identified by a revised front bumper . The caps on the hood were
replaced with integrated blisters, and the side air vents and rear bumpers were modified. The interior was
redesigned with dual air bags, a new audio system, and revised air conditioning refrigerant. The engines in the
twin-turbo models received a slight boost in torque from 307 lb·ft (416 N·m) to 315 lb·ft (427 N·m).
With the all wheel drive advantage, blasting the 1/4 mile at 107 mph in 13.0 seconds.
To complement this, the VR-4 now included a six-speed Getrag Bigger wheel/tire combinations were provided beginning in
1995. The base and SL model received 16" wheels in silver or chrome with 225/55 tires, while the VR4 now had 18"
chrome wheels with 245/40 tires (the Spyder had the standard 17" with higher profile tires from 1994 to handle the
additional 400 lb (180 kg)).
As the price of the cars increased, many of the "gadgets" on the car were discontinued. The tunable exhaust was
phased out after model year 1994, the ECS disappeared after the 1995 model year, and the active aerodynamics
disappeared after 1996. Finally, Chrysler ceased sales of the Dodge Stealth captive import, and for the remainder
of its life only Mitsubishi-badged versions were available.
Mitsubishi had produced a number of limited edition 3000GT VR4 convertibles. The rare special edition was known as
the Spyder VR4. Only 877 were imported to America. When the Spyder was released, it never reached the European and
Japanese market. The United States had their own version of the VR4. These cars were modified to be convertibles in
the United States by ASC Corporation. The U.S and the Mitsubishi factories worked with another company to convert
the 3000GTs into a hard-top convertible.The Spyder was one of very few hard-tops to release in the United States.
The Spyder was released in 1995 and ended production in 1996. In 1995 Mitsubishi's 3000GT Spyder was available in 4
different combinations: carson red w/ grey leather interior, sable black w/ ivory leather interior, glacier white
pearl w/ grey, and martinique yellow pearl w/ ivory leather interior. In 1996 the 3000GT Spyder was available in
four different options: caracas red w/tan interior, solano black pearl w/ tan leather, glacier white pearl w/ tan
leather interior, and pamana green pearl w/ tan leather. Its many unique color options, and hard-top convertible
gave the vehicle a unique history, and created a cosmetic impact in the auto industry. While the cosmetics of the
Spyder VR4 made it unique, its framework differed. The Spyder’s frame and bodywork was similar to their brothers,
the 3000GT SL and VR4 models. The Spyder model had its disadvantages over the VR4 and SL, due to heavy brackets
under the body. The extra weight under the body interfered with the handling. Due to slow sales of these vehicles,
Mitsubishi decided to discontinue the 3000GT VR4 Spyder. The SL Spyder's were only available in an automatic
transmission where the VR4 Spyder was only available in a 6 speed manual.
Japan's automotive design is usually driven by the pursuit of efficiency, agility and lightness. At the same time,
however, there's a definite obsession with technology: making everything electronic, inventing neat new gadgets and
generally providing complex answers to simple questions. For a perfect example of the latter philosophy, look no
further than the Mitsubishi 3000GT.

Camaro Z/28 and Mitsubishi Starion meet in this nostalgic vision of '87 Japan
Fri, 22 Aug 2014The '80s is just far enough away now that it no longer seems like an era defined by Reagonomics and neon clothing. Filmmaker Matt Clark has embraced the look of the music videos of the decade in his new short film titled Orange Orchid, set in 1987 in Chiba and Yokohama, Japan. The video features some great sports coupes of the time and is set to the song I Know There's Something Going On from Abba-alum Frida (along with drumming and backup vocals from Phil Collins).
Clark really embraces the pop-culture look of the era's videos with big hair, a healthy dash of neon, inexplicable smoky rooms and big, over-wrought movements. However, the real stars for us are the pair of '80s sports coupes that also kind of personify the main characters. Nijo in her denim jacket has a modded Camaro Z/28 with huge, dished wheels sticking way out past the fenders. Naturally, the Chevy also features some great butterscotch paint and a car phone inside. Alex, the guy pursuing her, forgoes any obvious upgrades in favor a clean, all-white Mitsubishi Starion to go along with his tailored suit and giant cell phone.
We wish this video featured the cars a bit more prominently, but that drumbeat from Collins on this forgotten 80s gem is pretty fantastic, too. Give it a listen in the video.
Mitsubishi Mirage bows in Montreal without a name, Canadian sales promised
Sun, 20 Jan 2013The Detroit Auto Show had plenty of major debuts for North American car buyers, but the Montreal Auto Show is being used for the North American debut of a new subcompact hatchback from Mitsubishi. Although this car is unnamed, it is almost identical to the redesigned Mirage we saw back at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show (and has been on sale in Asian markets such as Thailand since last year), but it is unclear if the car will carry this name when it goes on sale for our neighbors to the north starting this fall.
Aside from a slightly less annoying shade the of green we saw the car painted in at the Tokyo show, there are a few changes made for the car's Canadian debut. The biggest difference is that it is almost three inches longer, which is likely a result of the new rear fascia that is also visually different with some altered lines and small, circular reflectors. Other changes include a bigger three-cylinder engine (with a 1.2-liter displacement instead of the Tokyo car's 1.0-liter engine) and headlights that have new amber lenses for side reflectors.
There is still no word as to whether or not we'll see this new car in Mitsubishi's US lineup anytime soon, but it does seem like a good competitor against cars like that Mazda2, Chevrolet Spark and Hyundai Accent.
Mitsubishi Mirage will launch in US with three-cylinder engine [w/video]
Wed, 26 Dec 2012We have a date with Mitsubishi Mirage (again). The Japanese subcompact is slated to arrive on our shores in September 2013, and it's one of the product offerings meant to help Mitsubishi's US arm raise sales in its next financial year from 55,000 to 80,000. If next year were 1989, we'd say there's no reason that couldn't happen, but from what we've seen, the Mirage is so magnificently meek (have you seen the interior?) that we aren't sure how it will manage that kind of US sales aggression in the 21st century.
Continuing that theme, Car and Driver reports that the Mitsu will launch here with a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engine. Make no mistake, this is a very popular engine in the Mirage and responsible for its excellent fuel economy. The hatch is doing so well in other markets with its two naturally aspirated tri-cylinders that the Thailand facility that builds the Mirage will have its capacity increased by 33 percent to try and meet demand. In European spec, the 845-kilogram (1,859 pounds) subcompact with the more powerful engine offering 79 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque gets 57.3 miles per US gallon and takes 11.7 seconds to get from zero to 62 miles per hour. The question is whether Mitsubishi will boost the output of that engine for our market. If not, only the 70-hp Smart ForTwo will have less horsepower - but the Mirage, interestingly enough, weighs about the same as the microcar.
On its UK site, Mitsubishi said the reveal of the Mirage in back 2011 meant "redefining the standards by which to judge a compact passenger car." We can't wait to find out if that's still true and what that means when it gets here. To prepare yourself, there's video of the Mirage in action below.
