Mitsubishi's Colt Galant Is Japan’s GTO

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

"This car reflects me, my personality, being unconventional,” says Matt De Mangos. “I mean, seriously, who imports one of these, and who spends eight years fixing one of these up? It’s not an exotic, there’s no cult following…"
From Mitsubishi’s golden era, De Mangos says that nobody expected the company to show up with the car at the 1970 Tokyo Motor Show. Not originally designed for the U.S., this right hand drive Japanese coupé is a performance car unlike any other.
Sold under the brand “Colt”, the GTO GSR, or Gran Turismo Omologato Grand Sport Racer is essentially a down-sized version of sports cars from that era, and in De Mangos’ opinion, often better than the original. In this case, a blast to drive.
With a restoration spanning eight years, De Mangos says it involved a lot of personal growth, for unexpected reasons.
“I had to learn Japanese, I had to make friends with people all around the world, I had to make things that weren’t available…” De Mangos says. “There was no catalogue, there was no forum telling me how to do something or making any suggestions.”
The car is often taken out for a run, so if you see a beautiful, small coupé carving corners, you may have just stumbled upon De Mangos’ unique Mitsubishi.

    My absolute favourite old car, love the Galant. Especially the GTO MR in orange with black stripe. Here in Australia it was known as the Mitsubishi Galant....The colt was a small hatchback like the civic back then. There were a lot of Galants on the roads here before but I think they have been snapped up by enthusiasts within the past 15 years as they are rarely seen anymore. Unfortunately this absolute beauty of a coupe slantback wasn't imported here we did have the 4 door sedan, I think a 2 door sedan and the station wagon as they were manufactured here in Australia by Chrysler/Mitsubishi. A lot of the Galants had a Chrysler and a Mitsubishi badge on them, the later models were also manufactured here but they were called Mitsubishi Sigma. These were just about the most common cheap secondhand car around back a decade and a half, but I rarely see them anymore. I was interested in getting one just recently because I had enough of front wheel drive shitboxes and wanted a rear wheel drive four cylinder, but to my dismay they are very rare and expensive now.....SHIT. The next "Galant" was built here too, but here in Australia we altered it to be wider than the Japanese variant that had a four cylinder efi hemi in it. Here it was called the Mitsubishi Magna. These were ok, but they are front wheel drive shit so I'm not that interested in them.

    I remember when 1960s Japanese cars were poor novelty copies of the 'real cars' made in the USA, Germany and England. Thin rusting sheet metal, thin chrome, under-powered, blown headgaskets, oil leaks, plastic and vinyl interiors that would fall apart in a year. (Like the faux cars made in China today) Then out came the 240Z and the Celica.........the world changed.

Remember the nation had technologies and industrial capabilities to build war machines like tanks, battleships, and fighter planes in 1930s. China started opposite way, they started making poor quality goods for the world and now they make war machines for themselves.

Always a little different but reminds you of something else you've seen before but not exactly, and this makes it captivating. Up to today a lot of people see my 1g Eclipse and wonder what is that. Some say old Evo or 240sx.

    Since Mitsubishi has stopped to sell Galants in Germany in the early 2000s, the sight of a sedan from Mitsubishi has become a really rare thing, especially since they stopped selling the Lancer Series in 2015. Galant always was an impressive car like an audi a4 or BMW 3 Series.

I know plenty of vintage/classic Mitsubishi owners and we do not have an issue finding parts and keeping our cars running, because there IS a cult following and many forums where we do not need to learn Japanese... LOL! Even so, many of our fellow Mitsubishi owners, whom are Japanese, communicate with us in plain English. BTW the engine in this car is not original to what the GS-R came with, the larger Mitsu Astron 2.6l has been swapped in. Great engine, especially with the twin side drafts.

    "its not an exotic if theres no cult following" thats such a powerful line and truth in the car world. its like no one would bother to pay attention to a car that is thought to have no history and no following, but when people start taking notice, its like theres "history" all of a sudden and a demand. this is what is exactly happening right now to all the 70s japanese cars.

    I had Plymouth (Mitsubishi) Arrows that seemed like a later version of this maybe. ? They were good cars, a little awkward looking but still I liked the way they looked but they weren't nearly as good looking as this model. This car sounds really good too.

    +Dethmeister Yeah, a bit confusing as Mitsubishi called it's Lancer "Colt" when Chrysler started importing them in early 70s, but the Japanese "Colt" is based on the Gallant platform which is a bit larger than the Lancer, which the later "Arrow" was based on. So this car is Gallant based and the Arrow was Lancer based, two different cars that just happen to share a hatchback/fastback design that were similar in proportions.

    +Dethmeister Don't we all regret letting go of a car that at the time was "just a car"? I've owned 10 Capris from 1981 to 2005 (although they stopped being daily drivers in the mid 90s. Amazing what all these "mini" pony cars go for nowadays. A clean example will fetch $6-8,000 easily and aren't going to be getting cheaper :-( Cheers!

    Actually I am not really sure he is quite correct saying the brand is a Colt, that actually is simply the model name along with the Gallant name. The brand is who made the car, and that is Mitsubishi. Pity about those horrid and stupid front guard mounted (Japanese style) mirrors. It sure sounds great but hey it does have a lovely set of side draught carbies and ram tubes. It is always going to sound great with that kind of set up.
