I worked at an AMC Jeep Dealer back in those days.. I didn't find a single thing to love about them.

Only trouble mine ever had was that something put a hole in the A/C condenser coil and I drove it hard enough to destroy the clutch. After 64k miles I traded it for my F150. I got a lot of speeding tickets in that car.

They had a company who was completely restoring and modifying those but it was extremely expensive.

You're thinking of the old FJ's like the FJ-40.

I had the 2door coupe version of that. It was my first car and i loved it.

I had a buddy that had one back in the 90s. It was fun to ride logging roads and stuff with up north.

Looks better than that Chevy rendering.

Agreed.
Also, the less aggressive looking version of that was my first car. A 1978 AMC Concord Wagon. It was a hand me down and completely gutless. 0-60 times were measured with a calendar.
Very close to this, but not as nice.

Mine (‘83) had the 258 straight six with a 4 speed manual trans. It wasn’t a speed demon. But it did pretty well with the manual Transmission. I towed a boat with that thing.

I later bought mom and dad’s station wagon version With the auto. I didn’t keep that long.
