1975 Mitsubishi Galant GC from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

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.

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.

Hey, you are right! I own a 75' GC Galant and I find it hard to steer at low speed, and I was amazed at the size of the boot! I'm after a 5 speed for it? Anyone have a good one to go in it, the car is regoed so I do need a good one. I have a Sigma Series G32B 1600 in mine, starts and goes well!! Cheers, Ben.

Re GALANT GC; can anyone advise what the power rating is? I am having difficulty finding a Manual with such specifications. Any help greatly appreciated, Peter.

Check ebay for manuals, I bought a Gregorys one off there for $5 (they went out of print four years ago).

I have a 76 GD 1600 Automatic and agree with the steering.

The standard 1600 4G32 has 100hp or 74kW, hope this helps.

Try your local library for a manual and photocopy what you need.

Dudes,

I've got a 1975 GC hardtop (coupe) Galant sitting in my backyard unregistered. It's got a Turbo Sigma 5 speed, H/Duty clutch and a wagon diff (better ratio). I've also got a spare 5 speed in the shed as well as a brand new 4G32 Saturn Head (belt drive motor with round ports, not square), anyone interested email me at smok74@hotmail.com and I'm located in Sydney. The little beast used to bag up the back wheels from 1st to 4th on the spot no worries @9000rpm with twin side draugh SUs and 4 into 1 extractors! Long live the Galants!!!
