| Denver junkyards don't have quite as many W126 Mercedes-Benzes or 1960s Detroit classics as the ones I grew up exploring in California, but they do have examples of just about every four-wheel-drive Japanese car made during the 1980s. Four-wheel-drive Toyotas, Subarus, and Civics are all represented, though I'm still trying to find a 4WD 80s Sentra. But hey, now I can check Mitsubishi off the list of Weird Japanese 4WD 1980s Cars I've Seen In The Junkyard, because here's this Colt! With "Full Time 4WD," you didn't have to work any complicated levers or switches to choose between front- and all-wheel-drive; instead, this car would waste fuel, make extra noise, and wear out driveline components even when driving on dry pavement in June. Imported For Dodge! 236,581 miles was a lot more than most Mitsubishi products of this era managed. Well done, little Colt 4WD!
