Cars ? an Eagle Talon TSi with just under 32,000 original miles on
the clock! The Talon and the Plymouth Laser were rebadges of
Mitsubishi?s popular 2+2 coupe from 1989 and through most of the
1990s. This Eagle Turbo had a single, loving owner until August
2020, when it was transferred to an adult daughter. The Talon has
always been garaged in the Mount Vernon Indiana area since new and
this example has to be one of the very best examples offered for
sale! This is the last year of production for the Eagle Talon and
only 4,308 were produced in the 1998 model year. Made at the
Diamond-Star Motors factory in Normal, Illinois, this example was
shipped to Holzhauer Auto and Truck Sales in Nashville, Illinois.
This car had the following optional equipment ? low-back leather
bucket seats; Customer Preferred Package 24P, which included
automatic transmission; sunroof; ABS brakes; air-conditioning;
cruise control; power windows; power locks; and AM/FM stereo with
cassette deck and compact disc player. This Talon is finished in
black (code X13). The original paint and trim are in overall
excellent order, reflecting the level of car it received. The
bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is immaculate, the
back window has a rear defroster, the cargo area looks great and
the body-colored bumpers with foglights fit tightly to the body and
echo the rest of the exterior?s amazing original condition. This
bird-of-prey rolls on Dayton Quadra radials, size 205/55R16 at
every corner. Each tire is mounted to a factory alloy wheel. The
tires and wheels are all in very good order. Under the hood is the
original 2.0L turbo, DOHC, 16-valve four-cylinder engine (code
4G63T). Backing the motor is a four-speed automatic transmission
(code F4A33). One important change was the new T25 turbocharger,
provided by Garrett, had boost increased to 12 psi of peak boost
and was smaller than the previous Mitsubishi built 14B turbo that
was on first-generation models. Although the T25 was a smaller
turbo, it spooled faster at a lower rpm, resulting in increased
low-end acceleration performance. Driver convenience features are
lengthy ? air-conditioning, sunroof, power rack-and-pinion
steering, power four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock, cruise
control, power windows, power mirrors, power locks and tilt
steering column. This Eagle has upgraded suspension and a
sport-tuned exhaust. Safety equipment included dual front airbags,
side impact door beams and ABS brakes. Inside, the car?s original
gray interior is in overall very good order, with leather front
buckets with a pair of demi-buckets with 50/50 folding seatbacks in
the rear. The gray carpet and headliner are in similar condition. A
leather-wrapped, four-spoke steering wheel faces the driver while
the inner door panels and instrument panel, with full gauges, look
fantastic. The center console, shift lever and factory AM/FM stereo
with a cassette deck and CD player round out the interior. The
other important change concerned the suspension. While the
first-generation cars had MacPherson struts in the front, the
second-generation had double-wishbone in the front and multilink
suspension in the rear. The double-wishbone suspension gave the
second-generation cars a much better roll-camber curve in the
front, allowing for much better handling. For 1997, a design update
occurred for both the Talon and the Eclipse that is sometimes
referred to as ?2GB.? The update was primarily limited to the
non-metal portions of the car. The front and rear fascias were
heavily revised to incorporate more aggressive-looking features. At
the front, a larger air intake was created and the ?Eagle? emblem
was enlarged and embossed into the center of the bumper cap (as
opposed to a badge that inset into a similarly shaped hole). At the
rear, a new high-mount spoiler was introduced that projected
further into the airstream, replacing the flush-mounted sickle
spoiler. Added plastic moldings on the bumper caps and doors
completed the revisions to the body. Competition to Eagle in 1998
included Chevrolet?s Camaro, Ford?s Mustang, Honda?s Prelude,
Mitsubishi?s Mirage, Nissan?s 300ZX, Honda Civic Si and Acura
Integra GSR. If you had one of these cars in high school or
college, before marriage, mortgage payments and kids and you want
another one that still looks as good as they did in 1998, you
