1989 Dodge Raider / Montero "RARE" 4x4 - 2 Door Classic SUV Original Yellow

1989 Mitsubishi Montero Additional Info:

I’m selling mySuper "RARE" 1989 Dodge Raider / Mitsubishi Montero 4x4 - 2 Door Classic SUV In Rare Color Yellow And With 5 Speed Manual Transmission.
This is a very nice Dodge/Chrysler imported the Dodge raider that was produced by Mitsubishi Montero and only sold under that name from 1989 to 1990 and the only two years with the 6G72 V6 3.0 litter engine making it a pretty rare vehicle and it will probably never see one in yellow in your lifetime.
Vehicle was sold in California and had passed onto other owners throughout its life. It had an issue back in the day that branded the title. This Raider was a California model with smog on it and when it was a little older and couldn’t pass the strict pollution requirements in California it was then labeled a "gross polluter" and because of that it has a branded title rebuilt restored status. It has Plagued this vehicle throughout its life and i believe that's why it changed owners as many times as it did. It now has a Utah state title under my name.
The engine that was in the vehicle was no good, so I replaced it with a new engine from another vehicle that had 154,000 miles roughly on it. I have used that odometer cluster from the donor and installed it into this Dodge Raider so that it would reflect the actual miles of the engine. This vehicle has also been reported several times inaccurately on its miles and I’m not sure the reason why.
When I purchased the vehicle about eight years ago it had 151,025 miles on the odometer. I have since removed the old odometer, replacing it with a new one, reflecting the miles of the current engine as stated above. The DMV considers this vintage/classic vehicle and on the title, it shows odometer 0. This vehicle is in excellent condition for the year and has never been in an accident, so the paint is all original. It does have its fading and bumps and bruises here and there with small scratches and dents as expected for its age, but overall, in excellent condition. This vehicle has all original factory glass in it, including the windshield, which is rare to see. There’s no rust on the vehicle body or undercarriage. Vehicle runs and drives great. The motor has been rebuilt and includes the following.

Please Note: I do not except the new "SECURE PURCHASE" feature that eBay has implemented, the reason is that is sucks! and slows everything down with transport and sellers getting paid. Plus, eBay has $100,000 buyer protection in place without the SECURE PURCHASE feature. If you chose the new feature i will cancel the sale. If you have questions i will happily explain so you may call me anytime by phone. Just leave your number and I'll reach out.
Buyer pays transport and i will help assist in making transport arrangements if needed. I use U-ship.com and they seem to be fair.Except to pay around $500-1200 for transport.

You will love this classic Dodge Raider/ Montero for it's nice looks and great ride with fantastic reliability not produced in today's cars. My personal Montero back in the day had over 360k miles before it was wrecked, the only thing you must do is change the oil every 3k and it will run forever. This truck burns 0 oil and does not blow smoke on startup. This truck is truly hard to find in this condition and i hope it finds a good home. Please bid accordingly and remember to pay at close. I will assist buyer in transporting and pickup if needed. I use Uship.com for transport so you may want to check with them for shipping. If you plan to fly in and drive home, then have no worries this rig will get you back home no problem. Also, will have the truck detailed for the new buyer after purchase.Thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions. Good luck getting this rare beauty!
