1991 Mitsubishi Montero | Budget-Priced Land Cruiser?

Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This 1991 Mitsubishi Montero isn’t one of them. It’s owned by my friend Jeff Glucker from Hooniverse.com and www.youtube.com/thehooniverse . Jeff originally wanted a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 but soaring prices inspired him to look elsewhere. Enter, the Montero.

Jeff’s 1991 Montero has part-time four-wheel drive, a delightfully underpowered 3.0-liter V6, and a 5-speed manual transmission with a “crunchy” 2nd gear synchro that demands precise double clutch downshifts. Regarding the V6 it makes a dainty 143 horsepower and 168 lb-ft of torque. Amazingly, the V6 was the more powerful engine option. Mitsubishi also offered a 4-cylinder whose zero to 60 sprints definitely lagged the V6’s 11.8 second figure.

It might’ve lived a hard life but it still has plenty of life left in it. As Glucker’s project car, Tony Montero (yes, that’s its name) has enjoyed a range of improvements. It’s got a snorkel that’s probably connected to the airbox, there’s an array of charming stickers, the front grille was imported from South Korea, plus the wheels and tires have been swapped. Oh, and the steering is messed up so the front tires rub if the steering is turned too far to the right.

I spend most of my life driving brand new cars. How do I manage behind the wheel of a comparatively primitive SUV in “less-than-perfect” condition? Watch and learn and I drives Jeff Glucker’s 1991 Mitsubish Montero. Simple. Fun! #MicahDrives
