NOTE: Before reading further please note that this vehicle will not pass smog in its current condition and the tags are going to expire on the last day of August. This vehicle is being sold as is. Details below. Up for sale is a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. The vehicle is moded to 400+ hp. She’s in great shape except for the issues noted below. Top of the line for that year. Twin-Turbo (320hp stock), All-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, GETRAG 446 manual transmission, Active Aero package (see photos), leather interior and Infinity sound system with 6 disc CD changer. All four tires have greater than 75% tread and the wheels are still very clean. Title in hand. The body of the vehicle is free major dents or damage but she does have a couple of door dings, minor scratches and small bruises here and there – generally though she looks great (see photos). Interior is tan and the carpet is dirty but I used to own a 92 3000GT SL with black leather interior. The car broke down on me years back but I removed the interior from it hoping to one day put it into this one, never got a chance but I still have the interior. It will be included if you want it to give her a black interior to go with the black exterior. CarFax is available and shows no prior accidents. Although, the rear bumper was red and painted over black at one point. It was like that when I bought it and I don’t know why that was done, the previous owner did not know why it was like that either. The upgrades to the car are: - HKS Double-Mushroom Air Filter - HKS Blow-off Valve - HKS Exhaust - HKS 60MM Peak Hold Boost Meter in the cockpit - HKS EVC (Electronic Valve Controller) a.k.a. Boost Controller - A’PEXi S-AFC II Air Flow/Fuel Converter - A’PEXi Turbo Timer- Denso Iridium IK24 Spark Plugs x6 Installation and user’s guide for the modifications will be provided. Also equipped with a Python Alarm system. Now for the issue. Two months ago I damaged piston number four and one of the two exhaust valves during a standing-start. The piston is cracked and the valve is bent. Due to the extra rich gases flowing through the EGR valve, it too has failed as indicated by the “Check Engine” light. I used an OBD to check it. The code was ‘43’ for an EGR valve flow error. Also, she has an oil leak coming from the oil pan gasket. The passenger side window does not come down. I disconnected the window control switch because, as I found out, one bushing in the window control motor had failed. I fixed it, I think, but disconnected the switch because I didn’t want to deal with taking the door panel off to fix it again. I have another window control motor and entire rail as a replacement. It will be included. The photos show that the front aero dam is torn, I am including a new replacement for it. The car still runs and in idle you cannot tell that one of the pistons is damaged. But upon accelerating or putting a load on the engine she will sputter. She can be driven around but not far and don’t expect to go fast, although she will get up to freeway speed in time. Both turbos are fully functional but the front turbo will not fully spool up, this because of the damaged piston and valve which don’t generate the proper exhaust pressure for that turbo.The price I’m asking makes this car a steal. The person(s) that take her and fixes her up will end up with a ride like few others. She stands out in the crowd and still draws attention even at her age. Before the engine got hurt she was a dream to ride. Very fast and gripped the road as though on rails. Don’t expect to drift her, all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering doesn’t allow that. Except maybe in the snow.
