1992 Coddington Aluma Coupe
Mitsubishi Powered Hot Rod
The extensive use of aluminum gives the hot rod its sleek, smooth appearance as well as its name. The mid-engine hot rod was designed by General Motors and Ford designer Larry Erickson and built by the legendary Boyd Coddington. Looking to promote the company’s products, Mitsubishi provided the instrument panel and 1991 Eclipse four-cylinder engine which was mounted transversely and mated to a 1990 Galant transaxle with billet drive shafts and hub carriers. The hot rod features independent suspension in the front and rear, a custom fabricated tube chassis, custom Connolly leather seats, Boyd steering wheel and Tri-Fan wheels.
Engine: Turbocharged 2.0L inline-four
(Mitsubishi 4G63, provided by Mitsubishi for this project)
Horsepower: 320hp
Top Speed: 150mph
