Rarely seen Mitsubishi offering. https://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/cto/d/1983-plymouth-sapporo/6476113206.html
Good thing he gives all this information. I don't know about anyone else, but I, for one, won't even consider a used car unless I know its wheelbase and 0-60 time.
Again, the usual not paying attention to detail, before photographing. No effort is made in tidying up the interior, removing leaves from between the trunk lid, as well as other places, and bringing the vehicle to a scenic destination for the photo shooting. Thin whitewalls or colored-lettered tires would be helpful to him, if he expects that kind of money. His is nothing special. The interior is black and the seats are ugly. Here are Sapporos that come closer to being worth the asking price:
The point is, it's a silly question. No one or no organization keeps track of something like this. The best you can do is use statistical averages on scrappage rates, which show that about 1% of any vehicle's original production is still on the road 25 years later. After that, it tends to level off. So find out how many Sapporos were made, multiply that number by 0.01, and there's a reasonable estimate. If 10,000 of these were made in 1983, you might expect roughly 100 to still be on the road somewhere in the U.S. today.
Welcome DSM..... i don’t really remember seeing a lot of these back in ‘83. I would bet production was low originally.
It's gotta be pretty low, and if you find one, it's more likely to be the Dodge Challenger variant. Even living out here in the desert Southwest, you really never saw many of either of them. I do remember seeing an 82 Sapporo for sale here in Rio rancho, but that was like 8 or so years ago and in the CL ad, you could tell it was off the road for a while. I had an acquaintance who had a nice 80 Challenger back in the day in PA, but only was in it one time, and that was the early 90s.
