 This vehicle last ran when parked, about 2 years ago due to total brake pressure failure. The brakes have not been repaired. Last State inspection (PA) was 10/12. When parked, the engine consumed oil, the air conditioning blew warm air, the weatherstripping was leaking, and the intermittent feature of the wipers was not working. The in-dash fog lights button is stuck in the ON position, so the fog lights went on and off with the headlights. These things have not been repaired.

The engine barely cranks using a 200 Amp charge from a battery charger. The battery is probably dead, and the gas is probably stale. There is a crack in the windshield, a dent in the driver's door, and there are rust holes starting in the rear wheel wells. Before parking, a remanufactured engine head, a remanufactured power control module, and a remanufactured fuel pump relay were installed. The engine block was not milled when the remanufactured engine head was installed.

The old engine head, fully assembled with all camshafts and valve parts, another PCM/ECU and another fuel pump relay are included. This PCM/ECU may be for an automatic or a V-6, which this vehicle does not have, however the metal "core" can be exchanged or remanufactured for this vehicle. Some lug studs and lug nuts are also included.

There is a wire supporting a broken air dam mount. The interior is showing heat stress, although it's intact down to the floor mats. The spare, jack, and lug wrench are stowed properly in the hatchback. The clutch and transmission were fully operable before parking. 2 ignition keys are included along with the title .

I titled this vehicle in January of 2009, when I bought it from my uncle. At that time, it showed 142,000 miles. The parts previously mentioned were installed around that time. New/remanufactured ignition parts (spark plugs, wires, and distributor assembly) and new tires were installed sometime later. The tires measure about 3/16 to 1/4 inch deep in the centers of the treads. An invoice for the remanufactured PCM/ECU shows April of 2011.

Feel free to contact seller for pictures of the vehicle's passenger side, rear interior, and engine compartment.

I have not added air to the tires in about 2 years and the tires are still inflated. A riding lawn mower was able to tow the vehicle in and out of its parking spot, on the paved driveway where the vehicle has been parked. The towing was on the 08/21/2014, for pictures. There was little to no slack in the steering when the vehicle was on the road. There is compressed air on seller's premises, in case buyer tows using a car dolly.

This vehicle has automatic upper seat belts for both front seats, which were fully functional when the vehicle was parked.

The winning bidder (buyer) must tow the vehicle from seller's premises at buyer's own expense. Repairs or maintenance work is not allowed on seller's premises. This could be a good project for anyone into the DSM body style, similar to the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser.

Payment in full, and vehicle pick up, are both due within 7 days auction end. Vehicle must be removed from seller's premises at time of payment.

This vehicle must go, and will go. I no longer drive, and it's parked in my parent's driveway!

Junkyard Gem: 1983 Mitsubishi 4WD SPX Truck

Fri, Dec 22 2023

Mitsubishi began building the Forte small pickup in 1978, and Chrysler quickly started selling the Forte in North America with Dodge D-50/Dodge Ram 50/Plymouth Arrow Truck badging. Mitsubishi-badged vehicles first showed up on our shores as 1983 models, with four models available: the Cordia liftback coupe, the Tredia sedan, the Starion sports car and the Truck. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very first of those Mitsubishis to be sold in the United States, found in a Denver self-service car graveyard recently. This series is all about gems of automotive history, and we've got a really rare bit of Mitsubishi Motors history here with this August 1982 build date. I've documented six discarded (Mitsubishi-badged) Mitsubishis from the 1983 model year prior to now, and none had build dates earlier than January of 1983. This pickup may have been on the first shipload of new Mitsubishis to arrive at San Pedro (while the town's most legendary band was just becoming known outside of Southern California). Even my discovery of one of the very first Camrys sold in North America (in the same junkyard a few years back) isn't as cool as this. The commonly used name for all of the first-generation (1983-1986) Mitsubishi pickups is "Mighty Max," but a look through contemporary price guides (of which I have an extensive library) and Mitsubishi Motors USA's own marketing materials shows that the official name for this truck was "Truck," available in Mighty Max, Turbo Diesel and SPX sub-designations. Other Japanese manufacturers also sold vehicles named Trucks and Vans here, with the Toyota Truck (aka Hilux everywhere else in the world) being the best-known. Later on, Mitsubishi fully embraced the Mighty Max trim level as the model name for all the Forte/Triton-based pickups it sold here. For the 1983 model, the Mighty Max was the cheapest Mitsubishi Truck, sold only with 2.0-liter engine, rear-wheel-drive and four-on-the-floor manual transmission. This is a 4WD SPX with automatic transmission, the most expensive Mitsubishi Truck available in 1983. It has the 2.6-liter Astron SOHC four-cylinder engine, rated at 108 horsepower and 142 pound-feet. The Astron went into a wide variety of U.S.-market vehicles over the years, including Chrysler K-Cars and Dodge Challengers. Such luxury! The Dodge-badged version of this truck, the Ram 50, remained available all the way through the second generation of Forte and the 1994 model year.

New, never-sold 2006 Mitsubishi Evo draws $100K bid on eBay

Wed, Jul 19 2017

Today, in the "OK, guess it must be worth that to somebody" department, we note that a California car dealer has an eBay listing for a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, still brand new and never titled, with nine miles on the odometer. Just another day on eBay, right, and just another car that didn't sell, was hoarded, or somehow forgotten in a barn? Not exactly. The top bid as of Wednesday morning was $100,100. The Evo was a popular car (for a Mitsubishi) in its day, in a cult-of-personality way. And though its run ended with the 2015 model year, a quick inventory search shows there are still around 30 of them sitting brand-new on dealer lots, including the #0001-of-1,600 Lancer Evolution Final Edition, a $70,000 MSRP limited-edition car in Rally Red that a Brooklyn dealer is trying to move for $87,888. Most of the remainders are listed in the $30,000s, however. The 2006 eBay car is listed by South Coast Mitsubishi in Orange County, a dealer who by one Redditer's account laid up a bunch of Evos like bottles of fine wine and sold them off at higher prices. If so, is this the last one in the cellar? And why did the dealership set a car aside in 2006, when they were plentiful and long before the model's demise? For whatever reason, this 2006 car has time-traveled to 2017, with seats still wrapped in plastic and an engine bay you could perform surgery in. It's an Evo IX MR in Graphite Gray with black trim. Base MSRP was a bit more than $35K. It's optioned with the MR package that includes some aluminum and carbon-fiber bits and boost-gauge kit, the Zero Lift aero kit, and it has a six-speed manual. Bottom line on the sticker was $37,094. Specs for that year: The Evo had a 2.0-liter, 16-value inline four making 286 horsepower with 289 pound-feet of torque. The car's curb weight was 3,300 pounds, and its 0-to-60 time was a highly impressive 4.4 seconds. Yet, for $100K or a little more or a lot less, think of all the amazing 2017 new cars, equipped with the latest technology, that would dominate it - Tesla Model S, Lexus LC 500, BMW M2, Mercedes C63 AMG, Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio, Camaro ZL1, Porsche 911 Carrera S, Dodge Demon, Dodge Hellcat, Corvette ZL1. Even a Mustang GT350 could edge it out, and if you drove a hard bargain you might be able to afford two. So, can a Mitsubishi triple its value by sitting around for a decade undriven? Is this in any way a collectible, to keep undriven as an investment?

Renault will split EV from combustion unit, seeks partnerships

Wed, May 25 2022

PARIS — Renault has received several partnership proposals for the combustion engine unit it plans to create alongside one dedicated to electric vehicles and software, two sources familiar with the matter said. Renault plans to separate its electric and conventional car businesses, creating two entities to manage the shift towards fossil-free vehicles. "The group has already received partnership demands" for its internal combustion engine unit, one of the sources said. By bringing in partners on the combustion engine side Renault aims to free up funds to invest in electric vehicles, a technology in which it was a pioneer with Nissan and Mitsubishi, but in which it is now eclipsed by pure players such as Tesla. Renault intends to retain majority ownership of its electric division, which will employ about 10,000 people and which could be bourse-listed via an IPO in the second half of 2023. However, it will only remain a reference shareholder, not a controlling shareholder, of the combustion engine unit, which will have similar staff levels, said two other sources familiar with the plans. One of the sources said Renault may hang on to a 40% stake. Renault declined to comment. The carmaker at a capital market day this autumn will set out its plans for its electric arm based in France and the combustion unit headquartered abroad. That entity will include factories producing engines and gear boxes for gasoline and hybrid cars in Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Romania and Latin America. Among potential partners for its combustion engine business, CEO Luca de Meo in April mentioned Nissan, other automotive groups and long-term investors. De Meo is set to travel to Japan next month to discuss potential Japanese participation in its electric and combustion engine projects. Renault is undergoing a major restructuring aimed at restoring its finances and recently signed partnerships beyond its historical alliances with Nissan, Mitsubishi and Mercedes, such as with China's Geely Automobile Holdings. This month it sold 34% of its South Korean unit to Geely, which owns Volvo Cars and is a shareholder in Mercedes. With Geely, Renault plans to develop hybrid vehicles which will be assembled in its plant in Busan, South Korea. Earnings/Financials Green Mitsubishi Nissan Renault
