This auction is for a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT base model with only 75560 miles on the odometer. This vehicle has been in the same family since it was purchased new. My mother bought the car in 1995, and I took charge of it last year after she was no longer able to drive. Now it’s time to pass it along. The car is exceptionally clean inside and out for a 20 year old car. Though it was in Pennsylvania for the first 19 years, it was always garaged and never driven in the winter (and if you’re familiar with east coast road salt, you know how important this is). Engine: Starts great, runs great. It’s due for a timing belt (60,000 miles was recommended). I put a new slave cylinder in the clutch six months ago, and haven’t driven it since, except for backing it in and out of the garage a few miles times. After having it put in, I noticed the clutch slip a little at speed a few times. Not sure of this is everything just getting worn back in or if it is an indicator that it will need a clutch down the road. Exterior: The body and paint are in unbelievably good shape overall. There are no door dings. A few issues: The spoiler is somewhat sun-faded. My plan, if I kept it, was to use Liquid Glass polymer coat on it to try to resurrect it. If not, the spoiler could be removed and sent to a body shop for re-painting. The clear-coat is peeling slightly on the passenger side plastic headlight housing (a common problem on these cars). There are several headlight polishing kits available, as well as numerous on-line tutorials that deal with this problem. The power antenna quit working about six months ago. I can hear the electric motor whirring, but it won’t extend or retract (I think the rubber/plastic drive belt broke). Wheels/Tires: No pitting on the wheels. Tires have maybe 5,000 miles on them. Interior: Pretty much like new, except for the floor mats. No rips in the seat upholstery, carpet, etc. Nice, cold air conditioning. A few issues: The shift boot pleather is starting to flake. The Infinity sound system (w/cassette deck!) isn’t currently working because of the power antenna issue (addressed above). For some reason, the antenna not going up prevents the radio from coming on. And one of the back floor mats is missing. I have most, if not all, of the receipts and paperwork from the car and what work was done on it over the last twenty years.
