1989 Dodge Colt GT
VIN: JP3CU54Z8KU075029
Chassis Mileage: 14x,xxx
Engine Mileage: ~5-10k
The car is located in San Diego, CA.
I’ve had this car for almost 10 years, it’s the original M&S Recycling AWD Colt GT. One of (if not) the first AWD conversions on the CSM.
It’s a fully optioned Colt GT – power windows and mirrors, paint is original and faded in places – it is going on 30 years. Full interior. No AC, no power steering.
It made 480whp with the manual transmission and no nitrous.
Runs mid to high 6s at 107 in the 1/8th mile all day in 90 degree heat, hot lapping – on street tires – before slicks.
It is the definition of a sleeper, quiet and unassuming until the hammer is dropped. The exhaust cut-out keeps it near-stock quiet until it’s opened.
All the issues have been sorted out, I haven’t had to fix anything on it in several years.
