20K-MILE 1997 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4

OVERVIEW

This one-owner 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 has driven 20,050 miles since new and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 mated to a six-speed manual transaxle and an all-wheel drive system. It was first sold in California and spent more than 13 years in Hawaii before being returned to the West Coast, where it has been garage-kept in the Bay Area since then. Features include four-wheel steering, automatic climate control, a power-operated sunroof, and quad polished exhaust outlets. Finished in Glacier White Pearl over a beige leather interior, this 3000GT is now offered with a clean CARFAX report and a clear California title.

The Glacier White Pearl exterior is equipped with fog lamps, projector headlamps, a power-operated sunroof, color-keyed mirror caps, vented rear quarters, a hatchback-mounted wiper, a rear spoiler, and quad exhaust outlets.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Chrome six-spoke 18-inch wheels are wrapped in low-profile tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The 2+2 cockpit is outfitted with beige leather bucket seats up front and a two-passenger bench in the rear, matching door panels and carpeting, and darker materials for the dashboard and center console. Amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, carpeted floor mats, power windows, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 180-mph speedometer, a 9K-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and boost pressure. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 20,050 miles, which is in line with the most recent mileage figure of 19,873 miles recorded on the CARFAX report in November 2021.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The unmodified 6G72 twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 was rated at 320 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque when new. The CARFAX indicates that an oil change was performed in June 2020. Power is sent to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle, a viscous center differential, and a limited-slip rear differential.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The chassis is outfitted with an electronically controlled suspension and a four-wheel steering system. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The CARFAX report starts in October 1996 and lists this 3000GT as a one-owner car with no history of accidents or damage. The vehicle passed a California emissions inspection in November 2021.
