This vehicle was purchased in 2012 through eBay when it had 18,000 miles on it. That seller apparently found and bought it at a police auction earlier the same year. The story was that it had sat in impound/storage for over 24 years after the vehicle was involved in a drug bust and subsequent car chase - thus the low mileage. The short story is that since I bought it, the engine was torn down to the block and rebuilt with new rings, pistons, bearings, and even a new head. Also replaced water pump, gas pump, radiator, heater core, turbo, computer, coil, and battery.
The leather interior is pristine as is the dash and carpet. All gauges work, even the original cassette player. The exterior is immaculate with a beautiful gloss black paint and NO rust either on the body or the frame. The rims are original but do show their 28 years of age. I would guess that the tires have about 12,000 miles on them. This car is 99.9% stock with the only known after market item being the coil. All features/options work except the rear wiper - I just never got around to dealing with it. Since the rebuild, I've taken it on two road trips and besides being faster than a raped ape, it drives and handles like new. It has been appraised by a certified, professional appraiser at over $14,000. You will NOT find a Starion that looks nicer, is more solid, has less miles AND drives better than this stock, pristine vehicle. I would drive it anywhere, anytime across country OR it is clean enough AS IS to go right to car shows and be considered the pride of the show. ** I have the original eBay listing that I bought this vehicle from as well as the appraisal, receipts for all stated work, plus other paperwork documented the history and mileage of this vehicle for any SERIOUS buyer ** |

Mitsubishi's all-electric Pikes Peak challengers are in it to win it
Sun, 30 Jun 2013With a second-place finish already in the books from 2012, there's only one thing on the minds of Mitsubishi drivers Hiroshi Masuoka and Greg Tracy: winning. As the presenting sponsor for the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, there's no doubt the Japanese manufacturer is hoping for a good showing this year, and the video you'll see below explains how Mitsubishi changed things this year to help ensure a win... basically, more power and more downforce.
Winning in 2013 certainly won't be easy. With competitors that include Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima and Rod Millen, who's driving for Toyota, winners in 2012 in the Electric class. Our own Jonathon Ramsey sat down and spoke with the boys from Mitsubishi, and found that, if not for the over-the-top presence from Peugeot, the the all-electric MiEV Evolution II (which may be a sort of test-bed for potential Lancer Evolution-of-the-future components) may even be capable of challenging for the overall victory.
Their target: nine minutes and thirty seconds. We'll see how close they get later this afternoon. Scroll down below to watch the video.
Mitsubishi Evo tagged with graffiti faster than you can say 'stop!'
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Ladies and gentlemen, meet Maggie Stiefvater, professional artist and musician, New York Times best-selling author and Mitsubishi Evo owner. Because, as she writes, "In my latest novel, The Dream Thieves, a character drives a car that looks just like mine. Only there's a knife painted on the side of his," she decided to graffiti a knife on the side of hers.
And that's how you get the time-lapse video below of Stiefvater, a few aerosol cans and a lot of stencils enjoying a sunny day in the park.
Mitsubishi pondering $2B share sale?
Sun, 15 Sep 2013Mitsubishi makes the brilliantly fast, wonderfully fun Lancer Evolution. Outside of that road-going rally car, the rest of the range is pretty poor - the new Outlander isn't bad, but the subcompact Mirage looks like might've been competitive five years ago, while the Galant and Lancer have suffered from serial neglect.
This hasn't just lead to rumors of Mitsu's death in America; the subsidiary of the massive Mitsubishi Group has been in trouble at home, too. It was bailed out by three other Mitsubishi Group companies - Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Corporation - between 2004 and 2005, according to Bloomberg. Now, it's attempting to extricate itself from "emergency mode," as analyst Koichi Sugimoto told the financial site, adding that "they're still in the very early stages of recovery."
As part of the bailout, Mitsubishi issued its three saviors billions of dollars of preferred shares, which don't have voting rights. The problem is, Mitsubishi hasn't issued dividend payments since 1998, and these stocks aren't exactly competing with Apple or Google, in terms of value. In other words, they're mostly worthless. With a public offering, Mitsubishi is expecting to raise 200 billion yen, or about $2 billion, in order to reduce the number of preferred shares. If all goes according to plan, it will wipe out preferred shares by March of 2014, or the end of fiscal year 2013.
