Introducing the American
legend with the 21st century drivability.
This is not your average jeep. It is a custom build by a Master Craftsman. This
Jeep was built to be the baddest Jeep on the planet by combining race track
performance with superior off road capability. Build was completed in 2010 and
Jeep was a "trailer queen" show jeep for the past four years. Only
1850 miles on this engine since the build. This Jeep started out as an 88 wrangler renegade. It's grill and headlights have been converted to a CJ. The suspension was converted from leaf to coil over (JK).

Engine is a bowtie 383 stroker with a bowtie aluminum heads custom built engine
was built for the race team owner Glenn Clements. (Owner NASCAR 51) Jeremy
Clements Nationwide series. I looked at several hemi jeeps before purchasing
this one and they can't hold a candle to the on/off road performance of this
Jeep.
This motor was incredibly expensive coming from a master builder. Check them
out. I can't add to their reputation. Compared to cost of jeep, motor became
minor
The cost of the motor build became relevant to the cost of labor for the year
to complete the build
I wiped off all leaf springs and converted to full coil spring suspension to JK
Rubicon specs, to build and produce and obtain incredible drive ability, and I
must say it is fun and safe at any speed
All metal is original metal, no aftermarket metal at all!
Specs heckler paint system on jeep, chrome orange to electric pearl red, to
black cherry with a silver allusion on base coat.
Painted frame, cleaned interior of frame with long wand and steam jenny, then
sand blasted. All frame was submerged in P.O.R. primer, followed by 8 coats of
Imron train paint.
Look at most Chevy powered jeeps and you will see a common automatic
transmission (very easy)
Or NV 4500 popular with rock crawlers, it has a granny gear, or the AMC 4 speed
uses a 3/4 " dia, but if you drop the clutch with more than 250 ish
horsepower it snaps the main. In the Chevy the old Muncie was good up to about
380 h.p. but good shifting. In this build a super T-10 by Richmond it's a real
street or strip choice, but it's not for 4 wd it's a long trans, but I bought a
new standard super T-10 and had my contact swap the tail section for an atlas
clock ring and ordered a 100% billet steel CNC main that's 1 1/4 " in dia.
Rated at 1250 lb. of tork, and is less than 1/2 as long as the stock,
&merging into an atlas transfer case also 1250 lb. of tork rating, 1350 U
joint's, (dooly size)
A 2.77 1st 2.20 2nd 1.50 3rd1 to 1, 4th quick shift kit. A racing 4 speed and 4
WD. I have never seen another one.
We give you a list of 80% of cool name brands, briefly discussed drive train,
paint, suspension, but the real value was in the master craftsman of build. It
takes a very grounded expert with vast knowledge and experience in the area of
Hot Rod's, Classic's, Collectables, understanding the quality on eccentric
levels to recognize a master piece by another master craftsman.
There are so many things and so much to list; I can't possibly list it all.
The build of this jeep exceeded $120,000

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler and PSA sealed their long-awaited merger on Saturday to create Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest auto group with deep enough pockets to fund the shift to electric driving and take on bigger rivals Toyota and Volkswagen. It took over a year for the Italian-American and French automakers to finalize the $52 billion deal, during which the global economy was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. They first announced plans to merge in October 2019, to create a group with annual sales of around 8.1 million vehicles. "The merger between Peugeot S.A. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. that will lead the path to the creation of Stellantis N.V. became effective today," the two automakers said in a statement. Shares in Stellantis, which will be headed by current PSA Chief Executive Carlos Tavares, will start trading in Milan and Paris on Monday, and in New York on Tuesday. Now analysts and investors are turning their focus to how Tavares plans to address the huge challenges facing the group – from excess production capacity to a woeful performance in China. Tavares will hold his first press conference as Stellantis CEO on Tuesday, after ringing NYSE's bell with Chairman John Elkann. FCA and PSA have said Stellantis can cut annual costs by over 5 billion euros ($6.1 billion) without plant closures, and investors will be keen for more details on how it will do this. Marco Santino, a partner at consultants Oliver Wyman, said he expected Tavares to disclose the outlines of his action plan soon, but without divulging too many details at first. "He has proven to be the kind of person who prefers action to words, so I don't think he will make loud statements or try to over-sell targets," he said. Like all global automakers, Stellantis needs to invest billions in the years ahead to transform its vehicle range for the electric era. But other pressing tasks loom, including reviving the group's lagging fortunes in China, rationalizing its huge global empire and addressing massive overcapacity. "It will be a step by step process, also to allow the market to better appreciate every single move. I don't think we will have all the details before one year," Santino said.
Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler. Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient. Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.
In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs. In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007. If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
