One of a kind Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 in excellent condition! I am the 4th owner and purchased the car with 113, 000 miles in the Spring of 2014. Every part of this car has been touched in some way, and most of the modifications were completed by the previous owner, who was a mechanical engineer from Virginia Tech. The car has had the engine rebuilt, the transmission rebuilt, the transfer case replaced with a brand new one, a neww heavy duty clutch and lightweight Fidanza flywheel installed. It is mechanically sound and running awesome, thanks to a recent tune from Crucial Performance in Columbus, Ohio. Those guys are awesome.
Some background: I purchased the car in April 2014 and am the 4th owner. The car spun a rod bearing at 98, 000 miles with the previous owner, and he had IPS Motorsports complete a full engine rebuild (back when IPS was in their heyday and a great performance shop). The car now has 118, 000 miles on it, and 20, 000 on the rebuild. After I purchased the car, I had the transmission rebuilt by TMZ performance in Wisconsin, who after much research was felt to be the best 3000GT transmission rebuilder that could be found. They also replaced the slave cylinder. The clutch, flywheel, cv axle assemblies, transfer case, and carrier bearings were all replaced since I've owned the car. There has been a ton of money spent on this car trying to make it perfect, and it's close. Everything is now in working order, including the Active Aero!
The previous owner built the car with mods to make the car capable of over 500hp. With the tune just performed at Crucial Performace it made 333awhp. You can go to Crucial Perfomance's Facebook page and view the car on the dyno. Eric Sgambellone of Crucial said that if the car were to be tuned for 500hp, he said the coil packs assemby would need replaced. This assembly sells for $154.95 at 3SX. This car is 1 of 186 Mariana Blue Pearl VR4s out there. It is beautiful, and pictures do not do it justice, it is even prettier in real life.
$500 deposit due within 24 hours to hold the car, and the rest due when taking ownership. The buyer is responsible for vehicle pick up or shipping, however, I would be willing to drive the car a few hours somewhere if that would help. It is located almost in the middle of Pittsburgh and Columbus, within 2 hours of either place.

“Excellent condition Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. This is probably one of the nicer and better kept VR4's out there. No mechanical issues, other than an ABS light that comes on intermittantly. The brakes are fine, but the ABS light comes on and off. Minor cosmetic damage to the paint here and there, but overall, very nice paint. The car has a door lift kit to open upwards, and the previous owner damaged some paint at top of the fender by the door creases and touched them up himself. The interior is very clean, no rips or tears in anything. Headliner is worst part of interior. It isn't as clean as the rest of the car.” |
