This 1989 Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon Turbo-D Chamonix is a very well preserved example recently imported from Southern Japan. This is a four-wheel drive turbodiesel 5-speed model with a three speed transfer case that is legally titled and registered in Pennsylvania. The seller believes it retains original paint, decals and interior fittings including configurable seating for up to eight. Other notable features are cold-blowing, factory-installed dual A/C and even an OEM ice maker/cool box–both fully functional along with all other accessories. These small vans are only about 13.5′ long but offer nearly seven inches of ground clearance, and are known for their 4WD capability, practicality and reliability. It received a service last month and the seller says it can be driven anywhere in the US with confidence.

Exterior condition is very good with only a minimum of small scratches and dings. The seller says paint is 100% original with uniform shine. Two-tone black and gold is a cool combo that has aged well, and Chamonix graphics and factory decals are all in good shape. Note the many Japanese market details like “MMC” Mitsubishi badging. The pusher bar as well as front and rear steps/rock sliders are OEM, the former wearing a fully functional set of auxiliary lights with yellow lenses. Note that rubber weaterstripping, plastic trim, factory glass and all other trim is in very good condition.

The interior has room for up to eight, with seating broken down into two distinct sections front and rear. Up front there’s two bucket seats divided by a center console housing both gearlevers as well as a heating/cooling food storage box with ice making capabilities. Upholstery, door and side panel trims, carpet, headliner, dash and other materials all look excellent.

In back, the middle row two seater bench can be flipped to face either forward or back and is supplemented by a foldaway jumpseat–the third, rearmost row accommodates three. Note the original, red factory floor covers and nicely-preserved “CHAMONIX” lettered carpeting beneath. Middle row passengers have their own set of HVAC controls, and all lights, gauges, controls and accessories including power windows and locks work as designed.

Power comes from Mitsubishi’s 4D56 2.5 liter, SOHC turbodiesel four. Fully stock and well-maintained, the odometer reads 115k km (71,458 miles) and is believed to be accurate. Schedule maintenance was performed last month in preparation for sale, and the seller says that clutch, gearbox, transfer case, steering, and brakes are all in good working order. The van can easily cruise at 75 MPH on the freeway or take on more rugged terrain with the benefit of 4WD. Sale includes importation paperwork and a clean Pennsylvania title as well as a full factory tool kit, spare and jack.
