The vehicles below are a list put together to try and help identify all the cars, in Make, Model, and Year.

All pages that each individual car is featured on has been recorded here in the table to the right. Hopefully, seeing the different angles of each car will help in the identification process.  It seems that all we need now 6 pictures and 5 year of manufacturer.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cannonballers,

We are looking to the Cannonballrun team to help us track down a driver or some information for a car that was in the Cannonball Run.

A red 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT was entered into the 1994 Cannonball Run as car number 116, driven by Charles Freriechs.

A car enthusiast that went looking for our Cannonballrun website thinks he may own “the” red 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT, and he is really hoping we as the Cannonballrun community may be able to confirm if this is indeed the car entered into the run.

He has the following information:

  1. The car was first purchased by the director of Mitsubishi, Launceston Tasmania
  2. The car was purchased to be entered into the 1993 Targa Tasmania
  3. The car engine underwent modifications in preparation for the 1993 Targa Tasmania
  4. The car raced in the 1993 Targa Tasmania
  5. The car was then sold to the mainland.

All of this has been confirmed. However, this is where the trail goes a bit cold.

Ernie (our car enthusiast and now owner of the “points 1 to 5 above” red 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT) is understandably thinking it’s a bit of a coincidence that the same colour, year, make and model car turns up a year lately that has already has engine modifications and races in the Cannonballrun.

His requests are simple:

  1. Does anyone know how to get a hold of driver Charles Freriechs so that he can confirm the history of the vehicle he purchased to run in the 1994 Cannonball?
  2. Does anyone happen to know if the information / history provided above might happen to be accurate of the red 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT that was in our 1994 Cannonballrun.

Any tenuous link or lead for Ernie to chase down would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.
