We've seen plenty of front–wheel–drive Colts in this series, but (prior to today) the only example of the rear-wheel drive Dodge-badged Mitsubishi Colt Galant we'd seen was this lichen-covered '72 wagon. On a recent trip to California, I spotted this coastal-rusty example of tape-striped Malaise Mitsubishi glory.

Obviously, this car sat outdoors and neglected for decades.

The severity of the top-down rust indicates that it lived near the ocean, or maybe under a leaky tarp in a shaded Bay Area yard.

Someone took the cylinder head off and said "To hell with it."

Still, you can always find something useful on a car like this. The instrument cluster would be useful for a Colt restorer.

Ah, Malaise.


Hemi engine!


This appears to be the same car, down to the blue tape stripes. Look, adjustable steering column! 15- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 01- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 02- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 03- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 04- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 05- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 06- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 07- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 08- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 09- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 10- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 11- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 13- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 14- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 16- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 17- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 18- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 19- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 20- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 21- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 22- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 23- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 25- 1976 Dodge Colt Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin
