The Eagle Talon was part of the big three from Diamond Star Motors -- the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser.  Why Dodge decided to saddle the little sporty compacts with the Eagle and Plymouth labels is a mystery that will never been solved, but they are undeniably interesting and impossible to find stock.  Find this 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD offered for $2,850 near Boise, ID via craigslist.  Tip from FuelTruck.

No accidents. No rust. No modifications that can't be removed with minimal effort. Five-digit mileage, exactly two previous owners (both female, interestingly). This 6-bolt, 4G63-powered, all-wheel-drive example is the Talon of your DSM dreams. At about double the going rate of its modified sisters, it's priced similarly to the 26k-mile automatic 1992 Talon we dug up last March. This one comes with a few more miles but something no TSi should have left the factory without: a manual transmission. Find this 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD in Hoffman Estates, IL for $6,500 via craigslist.

Rest In Peace Brian O'Conner.  In case you've been living in a cave the last few days, the acting/automotive world lost a great one this weekend when Paul Walker died in a Porsche Carrera GT crash north of Los Angeles.  We wanted to find a way to honor his legacy as an actor and gearhead by featuring one of his movie rides.  The MkIV Supra from The Fast and the Furious (2001) may get all the glory and have ridden on a wave of popularity/appreciation for the past decade, but the first car Brian O'Conner drove in the movie was the DSM powered Mitsubishi Eclipse. We couldn't find a minty clean and stock Eclipse GSX, so this Eagle Talon will do.  Find this 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 5-spd currently bidding for $4,161 reserve-not-met with one day to go on eBay in Lynwood, CA.
