Description:

Here it is, just in time for Summer!
For sale at Buy it Now or Best Offer is a very special 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder.
This is an extremely low mileage example of Mitsubishi’s mid-90’s supercar that should be well known to anyone who has searched this listing. For 3000GT VR4 cogniscenti, all that needs be said is that this vehicle is virtually as-new and un-modified, it is always garaged and covered, and there are no cosmetic or mechanical defects, no damage or failed component history and everything works correctly. The car is regularly serviced with oil changes, with new Kumho Ecsta Supra 245/45 VR17 tires, a new battery, plus it has had the full 15k service including cam belts.
If you are not familiar with this Mitsubishi, here are a few details:
It is based on the Mitsubishi 3000GTO, sold in the US and European markets as a 3000GT and in twin turbo form as the VR4. The first year 1991 coupe was slated to be the pace car for that year’s Indy 500 but was replaced at the last minute by a Viper after protests from the UAW. The Spyder bodywork is a factory-contracted conversion from new hatchback donor models. In 1995, 531 and in 1996, 346 VR4 conversions were built by ASC in California, with the VR4 version first priced at an MSRP of $64, 449. In deflated 2015 US Dollars, this car would be priced at over $92, 000, plus taxes.
The mechanical sophistication of a 3000GT VR4 remains to this day, essentially state of the art. The engine is a transverse 4-valve 3.0L DOHC V6, with Twin Turbochargers and paired Intercoolers, running through a 6-speed close ratio Getrag manual gearbox and Mitsubishi transfer case delivering fulltime all-wheel drive. The 4 wheel independent suspension is equally sophisticated with active all-wheel steering. This car is nimble, satisfyingly quick and issues a delicious and convincing exhaust rasp along with a nice mix of spooling-up turbos from the engine.
This 3000GT VR4 Spyder is a masterpiece of Mitsubishi engineering prowess clothed in a very attractive and timeless design enhanced by the first retractable hardtop since the 1958 Ford Skyliner.
For those seeking a classic VR4, completely unmolested and original, and with super low mileage, this Spyder cannot be duplicated.

Accordingly, upon written request during the auction, I can make the vehicle available for pre-purchase inspection and/or a test drive demonstration near my place of residence. Also upon written request, but only at my sole discretion, I may secure from a qualified Mitsubishi dealership service agent, a current written evaluation of the vehicle condition, with any such costs to be borne by the prospective purchaser.
