Final Mitsubishi Evo Fetches $76,400 on EBay
The very last Mitsubishi Evo Final Edition produced in North America sold for $76,400 at auction.
The proceeds from the auction will benefit Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, both of which fall under the Feeding America umbrella. This is actually the second Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Edition that has been auctioned, with the very first unit of 1,600 selling for $46,200 last December. That auction raised money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Combined, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Editions US0001 and US1600 have raised a total of $122,600 for charity.
