Badge engineering has given us the greatest automotive weirdos out there, including the Dodge Stealth of the early ‘90s. What you see here is basically a Mitsubishi 3000GT with Dodge badges on it, and more specifically the range-topping twin-turbo R/T version, complete with all-wheel drive and close to 300hp from its 3.0-liter V6.
These cars were highly advanced for their era, featuring all sorts of tricks that made the competition look almost old-fashioned at the time. In addition to the all-wheel drive and the twin turbos, the Mitsubishi 3000GT (and therefore the Dodge) also came with electronically controlled suspension and four-wheel steering as well. Both of them were built in Japan and then shipped over to the US.
The specific example is a 1992 Stealth R/T that has covered 100k miles, with the current owner, who happens to be a BMW technician, keeping it for the past 12 years. The photos show a car that looks it lived a pampered life, featuring straight panels, shiny paint and a clean interior.
A recent service that totaled $3,000 included a new water pump, timing belt, pulleys, a timing belt tensioner, new gaskets, crank pulley, drive belts, plugs, wires, coils, an ignition module, a coolant flush, and new differential fluids.
If you feel nostalgic about the ‘90s or just want a classic sports car that still performs well, this really nice Dodge Stealth R/T is auctioned right now over at Bring A Trailer.
