Hi guys!

Before I bought an FR-S, I've been a DSMer for the longest time! Back in 1994, the year I was born, my dad bought a brand new '95 Mitsubishi GSX Eclipse, came with a turbo charged 4G63 engine and AWD all for about 26K. Quite the bargain for the time!

In high school I bought this beauty as my very first car. It's a 1996 GSX Eclipse with only 46K original miles. I'm currently restoring this one to showroom condition. I've always loved bone stock DSM's because they are so rare after the Fast & Furious body kit era ruined most clean examples. DSMs were the victims of their intended demographic



A few years later, I stumbled across this rare gem! A 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T, a turbo charged, FWD, platform. This car is a 5 speed manual and has a black leather interior, a rare option only available for 1999 models. I bought it off the original owner, an elderly woman who received it as a Valentine's Day gift. It was only driven on sunny summer days and stored in a climate controlled garage the rest of the year. It only has 54K original miles!





Hope there are other DSMers lurking around on this forum!
