Is that really your VIN number because the last four digits you put up should be alphabet instead.

At least it said its a 6A12 V6, 1997

Your number (eg. DE3A 0000000000 HNGH) is split like this:

* Exhaust emissions: E = complies with regulations
* Chassis series classification: D = FTO
* Model classification: E2 = 1800 cc 4G93 4 cyl E3 = 2000cc 6A12 V6
* Service classification: A = Passenger car Vehicle shape
* The unique serial number can only be decoded with the help of one of Mitsubishi's FTO CD-ROM's
* Body shape spec: H= 2 door coupe
* The serial number can be decoded from a Mitsubishi dealer - it relates to YOUR car spec. and options etc.
* Gear box type: R= 4 speed Tip-Auto, Y= 5 speed Tip-Auto, N = 5 speed Manual
* Equipment usage info: U = GS, H = GR, G = GPX, F = GP
* Engine spec level: E = 4G93 1.8 16v with electronic fuel injection, M = 6A12 DOHC V6 with Electronic fuel injection, H = 6A12 MIVEC Engine DOHC V6 with Electronic fuel injection and MIVEC
Your VIN Decoded:

D - FTO
E3 - 200cc 6a12 v6
A - Passenger Car Vehicle Shape

H - 2 Door Coupe
Y - 5 Speed Tip Gear box
F - GP (model classification)
H - 6A12 Mivec Engine DOHC V6 w/ Electronic Fuel Injection & Mivec
