Notice there is no VIN listen (sketchy) i'd cross-check the vin to see, if its real....it will be CP9A like his auction says... i don't trust it though

Um...I see a Florida plate on the back, with the orange and all. and the picture from the back looks like it has Madison Square Garden in it, I believe that's where the Rangers play anyways.

EDIT: although those two things don't prove that it's legal either it just proves that its in the US.

"The evo in the pictures below is an official Evo 5 GSR, not a Mirage conversion"

I bet he took the vin of a Mirage to register it.

Nop, he didn't. He did it in his own way....if anyone's interested, do a search on Jigga's posts.

He covered that topic at least twice.

I think YOU are the one mistaken... quote from jigga's post:

" Don't ask me the details of how I titled the car. All I can say is that the vehicle is titled as a Mitsu 4 door, silver, it's insured as a Mirage LS, and I call it a super mirage."

Sounds like a Mirage VIN to me... maybe YOU should read next time instead of telling me to search.

Well, I don't want to put words in Jigga's mouth, however, he registered in WITHOUT any model name.... and then insured as a Mirage...he was denied by at least 3-4 insurance carriers before he got his policy.

All in all, certain "sensitive" info was not posted in the general forum, but PM'd to me instead...that's why I say that.

Anyhow, it is very very unlikely you will be able to register this car in the US other than a handful of states....that's all I can say
