Ridiculous Car of the Day!/Oil and Gas Prices

Ridiculous Car of the Day!

Sorry about the Hiatus over the weekend. I had a lot of work over the weekend and didn't get a chance to post up.



Here is Today's Ridiculous Car of the Day! It is a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT Vr4 Spyder. They are extremely rare cars. They were all wheel drive, twin turbos, producing 320 horsepower from factory. The Spyders were also very expensive when new and cost nearly 70 Grand. Over 20 grand more than the most expensive Corvette of the same year.

Why were they so special? Because they were the first production car since this car in 1959 to have a hardtop convertible, the 1959 Ford Skyliner. They were also pretty rare in their day, and when i saw this one recently at a car show, i had to get a picture of it.



Which in 1995 was a pretty sweet thing to have, and immediately made the car a collector item. Now, i know that today you can buy a Pontiac G6 with the same style top, but the car is still one of my favorite oddball cars. Now, you can see how similar the designs of these two cars are, and they were built nearly 40 years apart.

Here is what the Spyder looks like with its top up in coupe form.
