You Had to Be There

1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL

(This listing is from Bring a Trailer.)

This is a ridiculously clean 3000GT that’s available for literally the only reason that a ridiculously clean 3000GT can be available in the year 2024. (The guy died. RIP, guy.)

Because at this point, the way that one of these exists in an unmodified and un-wrapped-around-a-lightpole state is for some young Gen X’r or old Millennial to pick one up in the late 90s and baby it around town for close to 30 years.

It’s a throwback to a time of great odd cars that would have no place in anybody’s lineup today. Think red light street race with the bad boy sitting between a Honda Prelude and a Ford Probe. Oh and the Dodge Stealth, obviously.

In any case, they really don’t make them like this anymore and unless you have a personal connection to this car or this era, you probably don’t actually care one way or the other.

BUT. If you do? Chef’s kiss.

This thing is super special for the right buyer and isn’t going to go for a ton of money because it’s not a VR4.

This auction also ends approximately now if it hasn’t already by the time you read this, so we’re going to go ahead and hit “publish” so someone can jump in and sneak in a bid.
