19-Years-Owned 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Spyder 5-Speed

OVERVIEW

This 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Spyder convertible has been driven 70,476 miles since new and is powered by an unmodified 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. It has been owned by the seller for 19 years and comes with upgraded 18-inch wheels, a six-way power driver's seat, front and rear stabilizer bars, and an Infinity sound system. Finished in Minden Silver Pearl and equipped with a black cloth power-retractable top over a charcoal leather interior, this second-generation Eclipse is now offered with a repair manual, the removed original 15-inch wheels, a convertible top boot, a window sticker, service records, a CARFAX report, and a clear title in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Minden Silver Pearl (code A52) exterior comes with a black power-retractable top and features fog lamps, color-keyed side skirts and door handles, twin stainless steel exhaust tips, a rear window defroster, and a rear spoiler.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

The black 18-inch aluminum wheels were sourced from a 2018 Subaru WRX and are wrapped in Dunlop tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior is fitted with charcoal leather bucket seats up front, a bench in the rear, and matching features for the door panels, dash, center console, and carpeting. Amenities include a manual driver's seat, power windows with auto-down, cruise control, power steering, dual front airbags, and an Infinity eight-speaker audio system. The seller states that the air conditioning system needs a recharge.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 170-mph speedometer, a 9,000-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the boost pressure, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 70,476 miles, which the seller asserts is a true reading.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The unmodified 4G63T 2.0-liter turbocharged DOHC 16-valve inline-four was rated at 210 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque when new. Recent service includes the replacement of the motor oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs in May 2022. Power is transferred to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle. There is a small oil leak, according to the seller.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping power comes from a four-wheel disc braking system. The body rides on a four-wheel independent suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The uninstalled original 15-inch wheels will be included with the car, along with a Haynes repair manual, a window sticker, service records, and a convertible top boot.
