And I just found info of a privately owned 4wd Rally Starion that was at a Mitsubishi meet on 14th November, 2004 at the Mitsubishi Nagoya factory in Okazaki, Aichi Perfecture, Japan.

The yellow museum car was also there:

Watch your speed - It's virtually impossible to pick it out of the carpet if it gets blown off the table.

Weird, that worked from home a minute ago but now that I'm at work, it's broken. The pic must have been taken down, I'll see if it's still cached at home later.

I just noticed on the rally motor.

They lowered the viscous fan to the crank pulley instead of the usual water pump location. Im guessing to suck in more colder air, just looks unusual.

That is correct. The 4WD Starion was based on a 1984 chassis and the wider panels were the basis of the later wide bodies.
