Condition
65 miles and like-new. Bought from the original owner by the selling dealer, it’s very much a "wrapper car" with all its original documentation and tools, and no age to speak of.
Market commentary
When Mitsubishi unveiled its new GTO platform (called the 3000 GT in the U.S.), it was also announced that there would be a Chrysler version, badged as the Dodge Stealth. Identical under the skin and packed with the same technology as the Mitsubishi version, the Stealth R/T Turbo boasted a twin-turbo, twin-intercooled DOHC 3.0-liter V-6 with over 300 hp, full-time all-wheel drive, and four-wheel steering. That would be semi-exotic tech today, so in 1990 it was absolutely cutting edge. And although it weighs almost as much as a BMW 7-Series of the same era, the high power and torque combined with the all-wheel drive allows the Stealth R/T Turbo to hit 60 mph in a little over five seconds, finish the quarter-mile in under 14, and hit a limited top speed of 155. Testing the car on Chrysler’s test track, Car and Driver noted that “transmitting its power through all four wheels, the Stealth simply exploded from corner to corner…” When new, though, the Stealth wasn’t all that popular and most buyers chose the Mitsubishi version. We’ve been wondering if and when we’d see a breakout sale for a Stealth, so this 65-mile 1991 model was one we watched closely. Bidding hit $44,000 quickly, then sat there for several days until a flurry of bids in the last 10 minutes settled on the $52,000 winner. Whether this is where the market is moving or whether this is an outlier down to excessive premiums for a Bring a Trailer listing and a two-digit odometer reading isn’t clear. Either way, this is a record-setting price, over twice the current condition #1 value in the Hagerty Price Guide.
