I am seling my 1992 E39A Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 #995/1000. As many of you know this car used to belong to Besso in Cape Cod, MA. I bought it and drove it home that day. It's been in my garage ever since. I deleted the rear wheel steering as the lines were leaking heavily. I also installed an Evo 3 16G turbo, an Evo 3 manifold, and a new radiator. Aside from these the car is in the same shape it was when I bought it. Everything runs nicely with the new turbo. It starts right up and idles well. I have taken it up the street and back down. The car runs well. I originally planned to replace the exhaust across the winter as there seems to be an exhaust leak somewhere but now I must sell as I am moving to Lakeville, MA and there will not be room for it. Below is the long list of mods and description that Besso originally included. No point in me trying to reinvent the wheel. He covered everything. Pics to follow If your interested then shoot me a PM or email me at [email protected]. I'm very motivated to sell this quickly so hit me up! Thanks!

Long Story:
It is an option A71 model [1 of 88] meaning that it is 92' Belize Green, has a sunroof, and a factory cassette radio with EQ/input (which I still have). I belive all owners are known of, clean title from the original purchaser to me. The car was delivered from Japan to a Mitsubishi dealership in New Hampshire. It was owned by an older woman and stayed there for several years. Then around 99'(?) it was bought by somebody from Mansfield Mass. A few years later, his brother whom lived with him at the time bought it. He was a board member back then in 04' when I bought it from him. The car was always garaged until I bought it. Which is partly why I have to get rid of it, this car deserves to have a garage. It has only been driven one year in the winter by me since I have owned it and also was taken off of the road for about a year (Mass insurance is expensive). The car was pretty much used by me and everybody above as a commuter car for college. It is now just driven on the weekend if that. All of the upgrade parts that I have purchased were brand new and most come with boxes. I also have the original 92' Galant VR-4 dealership brochure which is rare, look at the pictures below to see it.


The engine has been replaced by the previous owner with a JDM Cyclone 14b engine w/ about 60k now. Compression test was 150 across the board before I bought it. The car runs very well, idles perfectly @ 800RPMs and has only ever been down for half of a day when the clutch slave cylinder went out (JB can attest to that). Has 168k on the body now but I have started to drive it so the miles will go up. The suspension is stock GAB but it actually still rides impressively well. IMHO it is tastefully modded, it could easily be turned back into stock if wanted or go an entirely different direction w/ race mods. I really don't want to sell it but I need a newer vehicle. I have come to the realization that the only car that I am currently willing to replace it with is an Evo. Like one of my friends said; buying one of these cars is like finding an aerohead in your back yard. I would prefer to sell it to somebody on the board that has possibly owned one before.

Has a problem downshifting from 5th to 4th. It started after the shifter cable bracket bolts backed off. Might just need to be adjusted or could be synchro related
No A/C, JDM compressor fittings that were on the new engine for the A/C are different so the belt and bolts have disconnected.
E-Brake cable could probably use replacing
