Final Mitsubishi Eclipse to be auctioned for Japanese Red Cross benefit
The last Eclipse is a one-of-a-kind 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe SE, which was manufactured at the automaker’s plant in Normal, Illinois.
It will go under the hammer at Mecum Auctions’ annual St. Charles Auction at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois, taking place over the next three days.
Customized by the Mitsubishi factory, the very special Eclipse features a unique Kalapana Black paint scheme (chosen by Mitsubishi followers on Facebook), leather trim, 18-inch wheels, a 650-watt Rockford-Fosgate premium audio system with nine speakers and Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and HID headlights.
Under the hood is the regular 265 horsepower 3.8-liter V-6 engine.
As previously reported, Mitsubishi has launched a limited run of Eclipse SE models to marque the end of the car’s run. You can read about it by clicking here.
