fuel Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/51568-leedles-1980-sapporo/ Nice 'Sapporo' you have there - but it's actually a Galant-Lambda (what that /\ symbol is, it is greek for Lambda and denotes two-door coupe while Sigma E means sedan). Yours is the A163A model which means 2.0L and solid rear axle. If it were the European or New Zealand model it would be badged as a Sapporo, a Scorpion if sold in Australia or even a Dodge/Plymouth Challenger II if sold in the US. I currently have a 1980 Eterna GSR coupe (Eterna being an upper spec version of the Galant) - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/21377-fuels-1980-mitsubishi-eterna-gsr and I used to have a 1982 Galant GT coupe which I sold a few years back - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/26926-fuels-1982-galant-gt Both of mine were the same pre-facelift versions as yours is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leedle Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi! Thanks for your comment, very interesting! So in Japan are they given the Galant-Lambda title? Is it just the name that differs/are the cars actually the same? I've found it hard to find information so i don't know much about them, except that they are awesome Very tidy cars you have/had there, thanks for sharing! Do you see many of these style cars in Aussie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
