You have to love single-model car aficionados; thanks to their devotion, you can just tap a few keys and get yourself the complete Saudi-market 1977 Mitsubishi Galant Owner's Handbook, scanned and laid out with loving care by the Sapporo-loving folks at MSapporo.com! After seeing the glorious Oregon Sapporo a while back, I found this site's collection of brochures, photos, and manuals to be quite addictive. [msapporo.com] More »

The streets of Eugene, Oregon (and PaulN's camera) gave us the '68 Saab 96 few weeks ago, and now PaulN has found us another interesting old Eugenemobile. The Plymouth Sapporo was yet another of Chrysler's attempts to fend off Malaise collapse by slapping its nameplates on various Mitsubishis, but (unlike the Colt) they're just about impossible to find nowadays. Make the jump for an additional gallery and PaulN's description. More »

While the Plymouth Sapporo (and its Challenger twin) we received on these shores carried the G54B 2.6L Hemi between its framerails, the Mitsubishi/Colt Sapporo sold in other regions of the world — including the UK — featured the now-legendary 4G63 2.0 turbo unit. Think of it! Easy Evo swap! RWD! Toss in the limited-slip rear from a Starion and let the hoonage commence! If this isn't the living, breathing embodiment of SUPER POTENTIAL! well, well...well, we just don't know what is. – Davey G. Johnson More »

A close cousin of the Mighty Starion, the Plymouth Sapporo was the mechanical twin to the even more forgotten Mitsu-based Challenger. In top-level trim, you could score a Sapporo with an independent rear end and a turbocharger, essentially giving you an early Starion without the sideways glances from the po-po. We kinda think we want one. Just please, please, make sure it doesn't have the landau top. Stay tuned for more Maximum Mopar Day. More »
