The Mitsubishi Starion is a two-door, turbocharged four-cylinder rear-wheel drive four-seat sports car that was in production from 1982 to 1989. It was also marketed in North America as the Conquest under the Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth names; both the Starion and Conquest came to an end in 1989. Mitsubishi's entry in the lucrative Japanese grand tourer class in the 1980s, the Starion is considered to be one of the originators of the modern Japanese turbocharged performance automobile genre, and the first to use electronic fuel injection Up for auction is my 1988 Mitsubishi Starion. I lost my free storage facility and I don't have room to fit this in my garage. I don't want to sell but if I don't it will just rot outside and go to waste. I would rather see it used and cared for as it should be. I purchased it a few years ago due to the fact I had free 24hr access to a climate controlled storage facility. I only drove it a handful of times. My plan was to just hold on to it until I built a big enough garage to keep it at my house. That never happened and now it has to go. Everything is stock and unmolested. The smoked fog light covers are the only change and I have the original white bezels. Body is rust free and interior is almost new. Minor scuffing on driver side bolster. e-mail me and I can send more detailed pictures of the interior, under door, etc... Rims are in perfect condition, no curb rash. Super clean and rare to find in this good condition. I have the owners manual and clean title in hand. Drives good and electrical system is all functional. Now the bad, keep in mind this is a 26 year old car so if you are buying this for a daily driver then some TLC will be needed. Since removing from storage it stumbles upon acceleration. The speedometer is no longer working and the shift from park-reverse-drive, etc are ok but it is sloppy (have to shift a little beyond the P-R-D-2-1 to get it to engage) Im am selling it as-is. If it doesn't sell then maybe I will take to a shop to get it all sorted out. Ask questions and if you want to check it out in person feel free to e-mail me. Car is located in Elk Grove Village, Il. 60007 I also have the car listed for sale locally so I have the right to remove this auction if needed.

I took the Starion out tonight. Good news is Compressor for ac turns on and no overheating.Bad news, I got about a mile down the road and voltage dropped to 9 volts, stumbling bad and lights went dim. Then I hear belt squeal and the voltage jumps back up and lights are bright again. Alternator pulley???Shifts are fine but when I got on it hard it won't get above 3500 rpm. Boost is good but it just won't go. Drops down a gear and just gets stuck around 3500.????Never was able to check overdrive.Its still stumbles at first acceleration as well. I don't have time to look into any repairs so if you are to bid please make sure you have a way to transport or are familiar with these issues to get it home safe. Don't ask what the reserve is, bid what you feel it is worth. I did lower the reserve to adjust for transport cost.
