The last Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final edition ever produced has been sold at auction to benefit two Feeding America organizations. Edition US1600 pulled in a winning bid of $76,000 to benefit the efforts of Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, both of which fall under the Feeding America umbrella.
"Feeding America Riverside|San Bernardino is absolutely thrilled with the success of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Edition US1600 eBay Car Auction," said Bill Carnegie, Chief Executive Officer of Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino. "Thousands of hungry men, women and children will benefit from Mitsubishi's commitment to the people in our community and the funds will help drive out hunger in our local communities this holiday season."
US100 is the second Lancer Evolution Final Edition to be auctioned for charity. Last December, the very first Final Edition, US0001, was auctioned to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Together, the two vehicles have raised a total of $122,600 for charitable causes.
"We're thrilled to see the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Edition US1600 car generate so much interest and command a top price," said Don Swearingen, executive vice president and chief operating officer, MMNA. "It's a fitting and deserving finality to the Evolution nameplate to go out with so much excitement and make an impact that is sure to last a very long time to drive out hunger."
