SOLD - 1996 Red FTO GPX Manual - NSW Newcastle - $5000
Well, the time has come..
Ive owned this car since it was imported back in 2003 and have many a fond memory of club cruises and get togethers from back then.. Cruises with Steve, Kaveman, Tanya, Gav and later on Bennoz were some of the most fun I've had in this car...
Its been many a year since Ive been on a cruise due to other commitments, working weekend etc...
But its getting on and I'm getting older and I need something a little more friendly for my new daughter...
Considering what its got Im hoping its priced crazy cheap and someone can grab a bargain and enjoy what will most likely be the car I remember when Im old and grey
So, here's the details
Mitsubishi FTO GPX Manual (The version thats the most fun to drive )
153,000kms
Rego until 14th April 2013
Major Service performed on 21/04/12 at 152,000kms
Only owner since import in 2003. Plenty of service documentation for those years (though not all of it as I lost some files in a move a while back)
Never had any mechanical issues
VIN Number for reference - AFADXXMJDD6B01900
Few mods:
Handling/Performance
Cusco HA Coilovers
Unique Autosports (UAS) Front Strut Brace
Whiteline Rear Stryut Brace
UAS Cold Air Pod Kit (though needs a new POD filter, currently running stock air box)
UAS Front Exhaust (Engine Pipes with Flex Joint)
Interior
FTOAustralia Black/Red Stitching Seat Covers
White Dials
Audio
Hertz Splits (Front)
Custom Sub Enclosure
Audison 2.1 Channel Amplifier
Extras
Set of original 16" rims with tyres (~50% tread)
Unifilter POD Filter cage (currently using original air box, just need a new Unifilter (or other) pod filter to convert it back)
UAS Cold Air surround (though it has a crack it still fits and works)
Few 'issues' for potential buyers:
-Front bar has plenty of stone chips (pretty inevitable with a low car), so a re-spray would be good if you want to bring it back to new looking
-Rear window tinting has bubbled
Neither of these issues ever worried me, but Im putting them here to let people know

Indeed...Bennoz wrote: Nice rims too
In fact I should add some details which would increase the value
17" Rims - Previously owned by Bennoz, therefore they may still have traces of his DNA on them... thats priceless
Original (and from the first batch) FTO Australia Club Sticker - These have historical value

Would be much cheaper and more enjoyable to take a few days off, fly down and drive it up. Cruise up the coast in your new FTO. WIN
