Hertel auto group is pleased to offer this very nice and clean, well-maintained 1998 mitsubishi 3000gt sl sports car for sale in fort worth texas. Only produced from 1991 till 1998, the mitsubishi 3000 - and its mopar corporate cousin, the dodge stealth - was a joint venture between the two companies where were closely aligned in the 80's and 90's. Sometimes referred to as the "diamond star" company, the 3000 gt traced its roots back to the mitsubishi starion and dodge conquest models which were designed to compete against the popular nissan z cars of the 80's. However, despite their efforts, the two models' boxy design and suspect build qualities made them a failure in competing head to head against the z cars. In addition, the rear-wheel-drive setup of the starion was replaced with a front-wheel-drive platform that could draw from existing vehicles in the mitsubishi lineup. The basis for the 3000 gt was the same chassis used in the mitsubishi eclipse. One aspect that remained the same though was the effort by mitsubishi to cram every bit of high-tech gadgetry possible into the 3000gt. Mitsu wanted drivers to feel like they were piloting a high-performance space ship with ergonomics that felt like the car had been transported to them from somewhere in the future. And in this aspect, the 3000gt succeeded. Slotting squarely in the middle of the 3000gt lineup, this sl model was the luxury version of the car. Sporting an enthusiastic 3. 0-liter dohc 24v v6 engine, it had original factory specifications of 222 horsepower and 205 lb ft of torque. Base models were stuck with an anemic 161 horsepower engine, so the sl was a welcome step up in performance as well as equipment. Of note is the carfax report which does show this car was involved in an accident in september of 1999 and the airbags were deployed. However, it is evident that the vehicle was professionally repaired and now 2 owners and over 100k miles later it is still a great car. Inside, the smoke-free interior of this luxury sl model is nicely equipped with leather; infinity audio; a power sunroof; power windows, locks & mirrors; cruise control; a/c and more. As with any pre-owned vehicle, it does have the usual amount of cosmetic imperfections that are inherent to a vehicle of this age and mileage. Only 4,758 3000gt's were produced in 1998 and of those, only 1,611 were sl models. That makes this a very desirable car for the future. Come and get it while it's still here. Facebook.
