Let’s Talk: Old School
Here’s a topic that could go any number of ways. We’ve been finding more and more old school Mitsubishis lately, but what exactly does that mean? Take a look at Nakazoto’s ’67 360 van and chew on it a bit.
Nakazoto’s ’67 Mitsubishi 360!
Too cool for school, unless we’re talking about old school, that is. David is currently restoring this 1967 360 while working in Japan. When he’s done, this sweet little Mitsu will be going back home to Texas with him. You’ve got to check out this story.
Crazy Leo: Maybe Not Crazy After All
You strapped in? This is all going to be over before you know it. Crazy Leo Urlichich is taking rally to the next stage. We got a hold of Leo as he was ordering lunch Friday afternoon for a quick chat about how he’s trying to make a difference in the local community.
Let’s Talk: Frankenmoddin’
When we spoke with Josh Mead last week, he told us about all the different Mitsubishis he’s had over the years, and went into solid detail on all the non-Mitsubishi parts he’s got on his Montero; a Jeep transfer case, Ford axles, and Dodge wheels. This is frankenmoddin’. Let’s talk!
