This 1998 Mitsubishi Pajero is one of approximately 2,700 Evolution models produced. Initially sold overseas, it was imported to the US in 2024 and was acquired by the current owner in 2025. Finished in Satellite Silver Metallic over black cloth, the truck is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 linked with a five-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, a locking center differential, and limited-slip front and rear differentials. Features include an ARC air intake, an aftermarket cat-back exhaust, custom auxiliary suspension dampers, anti-lock disc brakes, 16″ Work Deerfield alloy wheels, a factory aero package, Recaro front seats, a MOMO steering wheel, automatic climate control, and power windows. Previously offered on BaT in May 2026, this Pajero Evolution shows 236k kilometers (~147k miles) and is now offered again at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a bonded Texas title in the owner’s name.
The Pajero Evolution was introduced in 1997 after being developed as a homologation model for the 1998 running of the Paris-Dakar Rally. This truck left the factory finished in Satellite Silver Metallic (A69) with chrome-look accents and decals. Exterior details include a factory aero package with flared fenders as well as an aluminum bash plate, quad fog lights, front cooling ducts, a fender-mounted blind-spot mirror, hood scoops, power-folding side mirrors, vent shades, and a single exhaust outlet. Close-up photos of the body and paint are presented in the gallery.
Chrome-finished 16″ Work Deerfield multi-piece alloy wheels are mounted with Radar Rivera GT10 tires. A spare is affixed to the swing-out tailgate. Anti-lock braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The suspension is modified with front and rear fabricated steel plates and auxiliary dampers.
The bolstered Recaro front seats and split-folding rear bench are trimmed in black cloth with patterned inserts. Appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, a wood-trimmed gear lever, and power windows. Wear is visible throughout the cabin, and the stereo head unit is missing.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 180-km/h speedometer, a 9k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. A compass and auxiliary gauges for voltage and oil pressure are mounted atop the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 236k kilometers (~147k miles), less than 1k of which were added under current ownership. Aftermarket dual horns are mounted behind the front grille.
The 3.5-liter 6G74 V6 was factory rated at 276 horsepower and 256 lb-ft of torque and features MIVEC variable valve timing, an ARC short-ram air intake with a GruppeM filter element, an aftermarket cat-back exhaust, and a red-finished engine cover with gold accents.
Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, a locking center differential, and limited-slip front and rear differentials. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery.
The Texas title carries a “Bonded Title” remark.
