My former husband and I almost purchased one of these used. I think it was silver but not positive. We were absolutely in awe at how luxurious it was inside but since neither of us had ever heard of one, he made the choice to go with an 82 Toyota Corolla (from those nice people that brought you Pearl Harbor) on which we put loads and loans of miles in and I hydroplaned in one rainy night slamming into a guardrail and flipping it upside down. We literally could not kill the thing!!
Man this car brings back memories. My father had an '82 Challenger with 5 speed that was black and decked out with the four spoke alloys, rear window louvers, rear wing, curb feelers and headlight grills. Man I loved that car when I was a kid. That door chime and sound of the big four cylinder engine is what I remember most about that car.
My brother had one. Same year. Same color with the 5 speed. Nice car. He traded in an '81 Colt(too small for his 6'5" frame) with the twin stick, that was a blast to drive, especially when splitting shifts.
Back in the early 90's i had the 1983 Dodge Challenger. It looked like this but black and silver. I was maybe 19 or 20. First car i bought with my own money.
I owned a used 83 Sapporo and it was a really nice car. The paint faded on me after the third year. One of the oil seals blew out on me and it was never the same. It was a 5 speed manual and it was my pride and joy in 1985 to 1990.
Wow it's amazing you know our beer! Their head office is actually in Tokyo now though. You should come visit here in winter cuz here's almost Russia which it's almost the Japanese version of Alaska so to say. You won't regret if you like snow.
Subaru chimed like that too. In the 80s, Nissan and Fuji Heavy Industries were sister companies and a lot of Nissan's electronics went into Subaru. To this day, you look for spare key blanks, chime modules back then, it will say Datsun, Nissan or Subaru on them. Even the 1986 Nissan OEM key blank with the appropriate Subaru part number and except the company logos, are identical
What an awesomely rare vehicle. I would love to swap in a small block or maybe some odd-ball engine. Real sleeper material right there. It certainly has a good look to it for being an '81.
JDM Mitsubishi 2.0-liter 46G63 Turbo would be the only fitting engine upgrade for this vehicle. Same engine as its stablemates the Galant Sigma and the rally-going Lancer 2000 Turbo.
I had a two tone blue 1980 Challenger. Loved it. Super solid car. It had blue steel wheels with chrome center cap and trim rings with wide bf goodrich t/a's and white letter tires. I wish I could post a pic here! it was beautiful!
This was the 1st dirt track care i drove. If id know they were the same as Galant. I would never have scrapped the engine. It had headers, valve work. Mikuni carb. Man it was fast. Removed Iddler time cams and shorten timing chain 2 links. gain 20hp.
I had a 1982 Sapparo. My seats did exactly the same thing. They all split on the seams. My car only had 50k miles on it and the seat centers were in shreds. Other than that it was a nice car. Mine was a 5 speed and actually had cruise control. I also had the 6 speaker sound system with a cassette player.
they were slick fun cars to drive ahead of there time the 84 conquest was the exact motor and drivetrain mine had a limited slip posi traction 4 wheel disk brakes the motors blow up around 180,000 miles the chain breaks that engine has 5 chains in it or head gasket fails!! great fun car to roll around in cheap quality car to drive they were ahead of there time!!
Nice car mate. Yes, as one poster said, it's a Chrysler Sigma Scorpion, or a Mitsubishi Sigma Scorpion towards 1979-1982. You certainly have shown great, well looked after examples of old cars. If I had room, I'd have taken that Plymouth Sapporo off your hands, and had it sent to me here in Australia. The left hand drive is no liability. Hats off to you Nathan.
As I remember, I added an electric fuel pump in-line just out from the tank after the heat from the exhaust mani was effecting the machanical action of the engine mounted diaphram pump & fuel flow here in the Houston smashing summers. Breezing along, the heat would flush down and rearward but when it came to stop & go traffic, the fuel would begin to boil. CerealMarshMellow, Good vid. Like your sale used car pitches. Really point out the points of concern.
I had this Exact same car as my first car😍 I miss that beast. MCA Jet Engine sticker in the back window Last pillarless windowed car I can remember. I fit twelve people in this car constantly to save my friends from riding the bus home. The low end torque made this car a sleeper at lights. My wheels looked better, must've been an upgrade. My stepmom couldn't get it in reverse the first day off the lot. She didn't know about pushing down. It says it on the stick! PUSH for Reverse🤣
+Donald Thompson The last low priced two door hardtops. Mercedes, Bentley and Rolls Royce still offer 2-door hardtops. The last GM 2-door hardtops were the 1976 Pontiac Catalina, Buick LeSabre and Oldsmobile Delta 88.
Hi, I´m from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I own an original Mitsubishi Sapporo, very similar to yours, but painted in silver. Engine, 1600 cm. (I don´t know in square inches). Best regards.
i like this car as a Mitsubishi ,i don t like it as Plymouth don t like it don t like copy and re bodging .but its a classic clean nice car need a good polish and buffering
I had a Cordoba my dad gave me and I had it until a bad wreck ...but I had double sunroof added and some original E/T Black spokes...looked like a stock car...still wish I had it... but I will look around for one of these challengers...they seem pretty cool.
I did not know that is a rear wheel drive car lolmy uncle had a mit challenger lol where the k cars are all front wheel drive anyways thats cool lean something everyday
As of 2001. As Chrysler's lowest-priced brand, Plymouth obviously wasn't blessed with all the great sportier or luxurious models as Dodge and Chrysler had.
I think ford copied a lot of this styling because this model came out in 77 and oddly enough the first fox platform mustang came out in 79 and it looks a lot like this esp in the front.

You don't see too many of these anywhere much anymore. I can't even remember when was the last time I've seen one of these in person.
Back in the early 90's i had the 1983 Dodge Challenger. It looked like this but black and silver. I was maybe 19 or 20. First car i bought with my own money.
+Darron Carter , I thought that they quit making this kind of Dodge Challenger in 1982.
The only Sapporo I like pours into a glass :-)

they are comon in argentina we imported a lot of them in the 80´s i think my grandpa has one and it still works
I have memories of the season of my grandparents when they commented on imported U.S. cars, they mostly cited Plymouth.
Wow it's amazing you know our beer! Their head office is actually in Tokyo now though. You should come visit here in winter cuz here's almost Russia which it's almost the Japanese version of Alaska so to say. You won't regret if you like snow.
I have always loved the sound of that door chime, like the Hyundai's and Nissan's sounded in the 80s and 90s
Subaru chimed like that too. In the 80s, Nissan and Fuji Heavy Industries were sister companies and a lot of Nissan's electronics went into Subaru.

That door chime has a very ominous sound. Charming.

Wow I wish I could find a 81-83 Challenger to buy. Had one as a kid and would love to be reunited with one of these awesome cars.
Nice example! :) Here in Australia, we know them as a Mitsubishi Scorpion.
Those old classic ding sounds. They had them in the old Nissans. Anyway that's one clean car for its generation.
I had a 93' Nissan Primera (Infiniti G20).The ding sounded like that too.
That door chime sounds EXACTLY like the chime used in the 1995 Hyundai Accent.
This was the 1st dirt track care i drove. If id know they were the same as Galant. I would never have scrapped the engine. It had headers, valve work. Mikuni carb. Man it was fast. Removed Iddler time cams and shorten timing chain 2 links. gain 20hp.
those cars were ahead of their time.
Totally agree,I had one in the 80’s.
I have an 82 just as nice but light brown, bought it in 83 , great running car
I had a 1982 Sapparo. My seats did exactly the same thing. They all split on the seams. My car only had 50k miles on it and the seat centers were in shreds. Other than that it was a nice car. Mine was a 5 speed and actually had cruise control. I also had the 6 speaker sound system with a cassette player.
in australia its called a mitsubishi scorpion. ive got one and its super fun to drive
they were slick fun cars to drive ahead of there time the 84 conquest was the exact motor and drivetrain mine had a limited slip posi traction 4 wheel disk brakes the motors blow up around 180,000 miles the chain breaks that engine has 5 chains in it or head gasket fails!! great fun car to roll around in cheap quality car to drive they were ahead of there time!!
I had one color red(hot) in the eighties,80’s,now That was my first car,I bought it in a Auction in NY,now I realized how lucky I was.
nice car, definitely one of the nicer sporty cars of the early 80s, IMO they looked a lot better than the Ford Mustang's of this particular era
Nice car mate. Yes, as one poster said, it's a Chrysler Sigma Scorpion, or a Mitsubishi Sigma Scorpion towards 1979-1982. You certainly have shown great, well looked after examples of old cars. If I had room, I'd have taken that Plymouth Sapporo off your hands, and had it sent to me here in Australia. The left hand drive is no liability. Hats off to you Nathan.
i got one of these today. automatic 1.6L and it's quite fast. I thought it was going to be like driving a beetle.
fast? lol
Sometimes its the little scratches and stuff that make it unique.
It originally is a Mitsubishi. It was just branded Plymouth for the American market.
As I remember, I added an electric fuel pump in-line just out from the tank after the heat from the exhaust mani was effecting the machanical action of the engine mounted diaphram pump & fuel flow here in the Houston smashing summers. Breezing along, the heat would flush down and rearward but when it came to stop & go traffic, the fuel would begin to boil.
CerealMarshMellow, Good vid. Like your sale used car pitches. Really point out the points of concern.
i have the same car lol father bought it to me for my birthday :)
I had a 83 challenger ran great bought it for 350.00 in 93 drove it till 99 never put a dime in it except for brakes once!!
The k cars are front traction the Sapporo are rear
Wow that car has a lot of trunk space.
WHAT A NAME looooooool Sapporo is the name of my hometown!! OMGOMGOMGOMG
I had this Exact same car as my first car😍
I miss that beast. MCA Jet Engine sticker in the back window
Last pillarless windowed car I can remember.
I fit twelve people in this car constantly to save my friends from riding the bus home.
The low end torque made this car a sleeper at lights.
My wheels looked better, must've been an upgrade.
My stepmom couldn't get it in reverse the first day off the lot. She didn't know about pushing down. It says it on the stick! PUSH for Reverse🤣
Very much reminds me of the Ford Mustang, fox body.
Nice! I like it, you were a boss if you would drive this in europe in the eighties..
Really why? This was my first car in the 80’s in NY,I love it.
A nice geek's car, for sure. Very nice interior. RARE! never seen one in a car show.
These cars were built from 1977-1983, these were the last hardtop coupes made, that had roll down rear windows.
+Donald Thompson The last low priced two door hardtops. Mercedes, Bentley and Rolls Royce still offer 2-door hardtops. The last GM 2-door hardtops were the 1976 Pontiac Catalina, Buick LeSabre and Oldsmobile Delta 88.
lasuvidaboy you guys ever heard of g body coupes? made until 88
What are the cluster of buttons underneath the tach?
Hi, I´m from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I own an original Mitsubishi Sapporo, very similar to yours, but painted in silver. Engine, 1600 cm. (I don´t know in square inches). Best regards.

unbelieveably rare. never heard of it in my life. you need to get a Mitsu Starion/Plymouth Conquest in i may buy that from you if you ever get one.
These cars look like they were at least several years ahead of its time
Not a bad looking car thirty five years later and it rear wheel drive
Nice job on those seats...
Well Done ! Calling ASAP.
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong

Very nice car!! Whats the difference between this and the Dodge Challenger from 1978 cause I've been searching and it seems to be the same car.
Looks alot like a Mustang
三菱の最高傑作だと思います。自分はGSR Turbo に乗っていました。是非復活してもらいたい車の一台です。up Thank You です。

Sapporo is an island, part of Japan.

i like this car as a Mitsubishi ,i don t like it as Plymouth don t like it

The buttons are the cruse control, mine still works great .
seen one of these parked in an O'Reilly Auto Parts parking lot - in flat black (this could make a tuner Civic 100% ghetto)
i have one of those. its turd brown and you have to get a broom out and whack the started(which is below the engine) to start it
Nice car :)
Cereal Marshmallows what is your opinion on the eagle vista 90 ? :)
Thank you :)
Uses the same 2.6L Hemi four as the K cars and minivans!
The starter motor sounds exactly the same too. Hmm....
In Australia it was called the scorpion.
I noticed how from the backside window back it has the 80 cordoba look .
I had a Cordoba my dad gave me and I had it until a bad wreck ...but I had double sunroof added and some original E/T Black spokes...looked like a stock car...still wish I had it... but I will look around for one of these challengers...they seem pretty cool.
But without the Rich Corinthian Leather.
:)

If I lived on that side of country, I would come and sell cars for you. I'm a car nut, especially for weird ones.
Ship to Richmond ? Newport News ?
Virginia....? !
Did you sell this, Nathan?

I did not know that is a rear wheel drive car lolmy uncle had a mit challenger lol where the k cars are all front wheel drive anyways thats cool lean something everyday
ahhhh ITS RUNNING WHY IS IT STILL dinging OMG LOL
Here in Asia its called Mitsubishi Sapporo wirh 4g32 engine
hopefully it is a better car than my White 86 Cimarron was...
There's still the Plymouth brand?
No, they have been gone for a long time.
As of 2001. As Chrysler's lowest-priced brand, Plymouth obviously wasn't blessed with all the great sportier or luxurious models as Dodge and Chrysler had.
This car can be up pretty but does not remember anything North American models.
far from a classic I owned 4 of them none got over 220 before the chain goes on the motor and it's a 3 thousand dollar repair
At least it wasn't called Barracuda.
when he shows a close up of the dash you can see cold and a blue color on the climate control
@FPGT24 can u send me a pic of it i might have seen one
Cool as fuck (Just have strange taste :-))
Great little car but I don't like this color.
your getting a windshield for it I know I own a auto glass shop so repair it before it runs.
I've got the 1978 model its called a Chrysler scorpion then in 1979 it's the Mitsubishi scorpion Mitsubishi took over Chrysler in SA 😩
Yep same alloy rims and rear disk brakes but my grill shape looks better than yours sorry , mine looks like the Deloraine , back to the future car
Похож на мой галант
looks like a ford mustang.
I think ford copied a lot of this styling because this model came out in 77 and oddly enough the first fox platform mustang came out in 79 and it looks a lot like this esp in the front.
The concept of the Mini Fox Mustang was the idea of the 1974 model
at 9:44 sounds like you let one rip
@yosefwanger just google it dude lol
This guy is not cool, wouldn't tell me what he sold the car for. Lame!
thank you
