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!
