1975 Mitsubishi Galant GC review from Australia and New Zealand
"Bought for $500 - No regrets Baby!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In order to get the car roadworthy, the two rear shock absorbers had to be replaced - $200AUD.
I also had to remove rust from the boot. My dad and I cut it out and then welded it up.
2nd gear has started to wear. It grindes occasionally.
The leather in the two front seats have a few small holes, but are still comfy.
General comments?
Very hard to steer at low speed (especially in parking lots) but normally good.
The car is sluggish. 0 to 100 (km) in around 20 seconds. Top speed of 160km per hour.
This car is not made for tall people at all, in the front or the back.
Good amount of boot space, for a small car, even with my sub woofer.
I brought it off a friend of a friend for $500AUD. It was a great deal considering that it had aftermarket air conditioning and some nice mags.
I think galants of this era must have been made by Crysler and Mitsubishi together because all the parts are Mitsubishi but it's been baged as a Crysler.
