Mitsubishi 3000GT During it's production run, and after, the 3000GT was a pure sports car offering forced induction and all wheel drive, as well as smooth aerodynamic styling.

I don't know if I have the Base or SL model.

So the Base model had no frills like leather interior, cruise control, ABS?

I couldn't tell you for sure. It could be just the difference in the head (SOHC Vs DOHC). I can't see them not offering those options on the SOHC model.

So the webmaster of this site clearly made a typo by labeling this as a a 24 valve SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM engine right? http://japanesemotorsontarioor.com/images/gallery6.jpg

I believe that picture is of a Single Overhead Cam Engine. Notice only ONE Rounded cover at the Cylinder head. If it was a Double Overhead Cam Engine, the cover would be more level at the top and rounded at the ends covering the TWO cams per cylinder head bank.

opps, didn't see page two of this thread. Pictures above are very good. Showing SOHC first and DOHC second

Hi guys, I just bought a sweet '97 3000GT back in January and I can't for the love of me figure out if it's the Base or SL model or even SOHC or DOHC.
I've been Googling 3000GT engine pics, and have found that DOHC engines have a label on them "V6 DOHC 24V". Mine says nothing except "V6", would this be safe to assume it's the Base model or are some DOHC's not labeled?

you have a SOHC.




and they stole your money if you paid 12k
