Long before Chrylser sold Dakotas to Mitsubishi, the Raider was a three-door Mitsubishi Montero sold in Dodge dealerships in the 80s. We previously featured one that someone decided needed to be a baby Mercedes G-Wagen. This one’s closer to stock.
No mileage or interior shots here, but the paint looks good, if that matters to you. It’s delightfully brown, which works in its favor. The seller seems a little confused, referencing K-Car styling in a rebadged Mitsubishi. Frankly, Mitsu is a better selling point than 80s Chrysler to anyone who is not a masochist. The price here seems a bit silly unless this thing is perfect and has really low miles. Good news is this does have a 5-speed. Last point – what, exactly is an “original restoration”? Is it original or restored?
