I knew a lady that drove one. It may be the only one I've ever seen.

Oh god, eagle summit tallwagon. The holy grail of drop and swap 4g63 sleepers. They're amazing.

Oh real funny guys.
All kidding aside.
If the car in the ad is basically the same thing as the Mitsubishi wagon, my sister had one of them and she loved it. As far as I know it was a good and reliable car, up until she hit a deer with it.
Not weird at all, one of the ultimate sleepers with a 4G63 swap. Here is one that will embarrass lots of "fast" cars. Autocross action at the end of the clip...

Your answer is yes. Same engine as is in this summit. Had one in my work forklift back in the day.
Years ago, Car & Driver did a test of the Civic AWD Wagon, Tercel AWD Wagon, Eagle Summit Wagon, and whatever else was available in small, AWD wagons of the day. I still have a soft spot for all of them. IIRC, the Summit is a Galant VR-4 underneath. (kinda)
I had a FWD manual one. It was a blast and would have been really fun with a 4g63. They have a strange driving position for such a small car, you sit very upright. I sometimes wish I had kept it but needed to clear space and had two Volvo wagons that I enjoyed more.
I have posted many times on here about my Miata and E30, but the most action any of my threads have gotten is a thread about an Eagle Summit Wagon!!! :)
I've never seen one of those before. After the first picture I was hoping there was a sliding door, was not disappointed.
That sudo Dajiban is pretty awesome.
My parents bought a new 92 AWD Eagle Summit twin to the Mitsu Expo LRV. Mom was on the early side of the suv craze. Liked the tall seating, excellent sightlines, awd and plenty of storage utility. ABS was a rarity, and we tracked one down in the Baltimore port. That wasn’t easy to do in the pre-webz days. Got a Baltimore dealer to snag it and then drove with my empty race trailer to go get it from OH. Great memories of a quality road trip adventure with my Dad. Bigger 4 cyl so it had torque and wasn’t awful. Suspension was also mediocre. It was early 90’s so hard plastics, mouse belts and lots of tiny buttons. In terms of a versatile vehicle, it was pretty cool.
Excellent condition but needs brakes and a windshield.
Is is it just me?????

I took issue as well, you know that post you didn't read ... 
Only needing brakes and a windshield is excellent condition for a DSM. Almost every single one on the planet was driven into the ground or made to scatter drivetrain parts on asphalt.
E: It's 2k. That thing would sell for that here in an instant.

Obligatory.
One dorky phrase in D.C. is that there are " known knowns" and there are " unknown unknowns". Smog pass in Cali must be gold and windshield replacement must be dolla!
Heres my old one. It was 4g63t swapped, and apparently ran 13's at one time. I once smoked a skyline gts-t at the lights.
You buy it yet?
MadScientistMatt said:That forklift joke makes me wonder if Mitsubishi really did put the 4G63, or something close to it, in forklifts. They seem to have put some sort of 4G6X variant in everything else they made in the '90s.
They totally did.
You buy this Summit yet? My neighbour had an auto gold FWD one and I left a business card under its wipers years ago, but no sign of it since and no call either.
