Marc (thanks!) found a story from the Toledo Jeep Fest (Aug 4th -6th) of a family that owns a 1 of 1Jeep prototype truck, (1977 Jeep J10 extended cab) handed down from their grandfather who was an R&D engineer at the Jeep factory, and hid it from upper management who wanted it destroy, in the file cabinet room, behind the cabinets

a lot of people asked about the paint, it's 1977 Golden Ginger Poly 


at the Facebook page there are several stories from engineers who worked with the program that built this, and they are cool to read. https://www.facebook.com/77J10extendedcab/

    It's a great looking truck, and the slotted mags are perfect for it.

    I was reading one of the stories on the Facebook page about the development of the Cherokee Chief, and they had a story about Bill Harrah and a Cherokee that he modified. Apparently, he wanted Ferrari to build him a 4x4, but Enzo said no. Harrah grafted the front end and V12 from a Ferrari onto a Cherokee and drove it for a few years. Harrah got tired of people recognizing his "Jerrari", so he had another built with just a Ferrari V12 in a stock Cherokee. The first one looks awkward to me, but both must have been very fast.

    Great story, great truck. The family will now be required to sell it to Dennis Collins so that he can make a video for his channel on it, buy you a local dinner, and then flip it for thousands of profit.
