Found a deal on ebay for a 90 eclipse. Good thing this auction went fairly unnoticed I only paid 26.00$ for this baby!!! Crazy detail everywhere to. Who wants to go for a ride?
That's flippin AWSOME guy! I didn't even know any model makers recognized the 1G DSM. Sweet find!

It was a model given away with the purchase of a dsm way back when. I saw one sell on ebay a while ago for about 150! Maintenance free!!! (if only i could say the same about my POS talon)

150 bucks? Holy hell, i had no idea.. I've had one of those models ever since i was like 9, my dad used to manage all the O'brien mitsu dealerships around here (decatur, bloomington, champaign)
I've had one of those for years. My dad works out at the plant and I guess they sold them through the store in the factory. Looks exactly like Rollout and Taxiwardance's model. Those suckers didn't get out into circulation like your regular run of the mill models do. They were reserved for the factory workers and like dealerships. They all say 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS on the bottom but if you look under the hood the intake is routed down to the exhaust so they were actually modeled after the GS Turbo. They came preassembled and only in die cast. I've never seen another model of a 1g car other than those. Hold on to those models boys, hopefully they'll be worth something someday because of their rarity. I keep mine for the sentimental aspect though.

On the box i have it says DOHC 16 TURBO GS And if you look real close at the gauges theres a factory boost gauge

GSXRacer, they didn't make a 92-94 model that I know of. Taxiwardance- I never had the box for it but that is interesting.
