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 three years. Only
1150 miles on this engine since the build.

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

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well. The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy." That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
