We Found the Worst Mitsubishi Evo
We Found the Worst Mitsubishi Evo-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:45

in decent condition can be found on Craigslist all day long for upwards of $10,000, but how often does a perfectly beat-to-shit, single-owner example surface?

Yeah, this is one rare bird.

This Evo, with an asking price of $7,300, has damage all around its body, heavily faded paint, has a cable-tied license plate, and appears to lack a front passenger seat. But! According to its seller, “mechanically, it has never failed me and has been reliable to a fault.”

That’s the important thing, right?

In addition to its heavily mangled body, this Evo is sporting a “Whores Wanted” sticker. Tasteful!

If we are to believe this seller, in true Evo spirit, this car was once modified and tuned to put out 440 horsepower—176 more than what Mitsubishi claimed from the factory. It’s safe to assume the massive pile of leaves collected under the hood doesn’t contribute to that additional power count.

Look. If I’m being totally honest, this is probably the type of Evo I’d buy. Sure, it’s been seriously trashed, but it’s still a single-owner car with relatively low miles. If I could get this seller down to around $5,000 (and, uh, if I had $5,000 to spare), this thing would totally be for the season.

Also, I’d probably dump that sticker up front.

Find .

Oh, while you’re here! Are you obsessed with broken Evos or other Craigslist project cars?

At $5,000, Would You Ring In The New Year With This 1974 Volvo 140?
At $5,000, Would You Ring In The New Year With This 1974 Volvo 140?
There’s a lot going on with today’s Volvo. We’ll just have to see if its price means it also “has got it going on.” Here’s a sobering fact—BMW offers twenty-two distinct body styles here in the U.S. today, and none of those are station wagons. If you want a...

The Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid Is A Car Without A Case
The Ford Fusion Plug-In Hybrid Is A Car Without A Case
The 2019 Ford Fusion plug-in hybrid is decent looking and comfortable enough to ride in. It’s also expensive and not particularly efficient. Ford’s “pivot to trucks” is a real bummer for car enthusiasts in general, but I don’t think anybody’s going to miss this one. (Ford lent me the Fusion...

The 2009 Bertone Mantide Concept Looks Like It's From 2029 And Now It Can Be Yours
Chevrolet’s C6 Corvette ZR1 was a gem of an automobile with supercar-beating power, grip for days, carbon ceramic brakes, and a 200+ mph top speed. The only thing it’s missing is cachet. It just looks like a Corvette. It doesn’t have fancy butterfly doors or flying buttresses, or a-pillar...

At $22,000, Canadian, Could This 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 Be A 2020 Vision?
At $22,000, Canadian, Could This 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 Be A 2020 Vision?
There’s probably no more iconic car than the ill-fated DeLorean DMC-12, and while today’s edition doesn’t look safe enough to hit anything close to 88 miles per hour, it’s the price might just make it an icon worth working on. Old Volvos like the we closed out the old...

Germany Is Full Of Diesel Manual Chrysler Minivans And They Are Dirt Cheap
Germany Is Full Of Diesel Manual Chrysler Minivans And They Are Dirt Cheap
Today I bring you a revelation: Germany is chock-full of absurdly cheap equipped with two coveted features never offered in the U.S.: a manual transmission and a diesel engine. Yes, I’m talking about the torquey and fuel efficient glory of a compression engine bolted to fun-to-drive transmission, all encapsulated...

What Are We Going To Do About This High-Mile $1,500 Plymouth Voyager With A Five-Speed And The Best Interior
What Are We Going To Do About This High-Mile $1,500 Plymouth Voyager With A Five-Speed And The Best Interior
To take a frumpy 1980s Mopar minivan with a stick shift and drive the living hell out of it is . But somehow as 2019 wraps up, it’s still a relevant one. I had sort of thought that all of these cars had been junked or turbo-swapped and hooned...
