Mitsubishi Eclipse Submodels
The Mitsubishi Eclipse was a product of the Diamond-Star Motors (DSM) joint venture with Chrysler, sharing its platform with the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser. The first two generations (1990-1999) are the most sought-after by enthusiasts, especially the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive GSX and front-wheel-drive GS-T models. These cars defined the sport compact scene of the 1990s with their potent 4G63T engine and advanced drivetrains.
Collector interest is centered almost exclusively on the 1G and 2G turbo models. Their pop-culture status was cemented by an appearance in 2001's 'The Fast and the Furious,' and the 4G63T engine remains legendary for its tuning potential. Finding an unmodified, low-mileage GSX is incredibly difficult today, making them the most collectible variants. Later generations dropped the 4G63T and AWD option, shifting focus away from raw performance.
The market for the Eclipse is sharply divided. The average sale price of $14,209 is misleading, as it includes countless neglected, heavily modified, or non-turbo project cars that trade for very little. At the top end, pristine, original-spec GSX models have seen prices climb past $60,000 as collectors compete for the few remaining examples.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust, particularly on the strut towers, rocker panels, and floor pans, as these cars are susceptible.
- Be wary of 'crank walk' on 2G (1995-1999) models equipped with the 4G63T engine. It's a known and potentially catastrophic issue.
- Assume most examples have been modified. Poorly installed aftermarket parts are common, so inspect any work carefully and ask for documentation.
- On AWD GSX models, listen for whining or clunking from the drivetrain, which can indicate issues with the transfer case or rear differential.
Based on 133 sales, prices range from just $1 for project cars to $63,000 for pristine, low-mileage variants.
