This is an idea born of heavy drinking. Was the badge an afterthought, or did they make the badge and laugh so hard they decided they HAD to make this glorious abomination?

Whatever the case, it's brilliant. But it would be better with AMC dogdishes on steelies.

I think that I actually like this better than the Sultan of Brunei's 456 wagons. Of course, the only way this could be better, is if the body came from a wagon, instead of a 4x4.

Silly? Sure. Pointless? Yes. Who cares? If you had Harrah's money and auto cred, wouldn't you be tempted to have yourself a toy? It's odd to be sure , but it almost works. As far as the comments about trashing something collectible, a couple of points: 1) This was built in '70 or so when both donor vehicles were still in production. 2) The 365GT was a very high volume Ferrari - i believe 8,000+ were built. It's not like somebody has chopped up a prize 250GTO or something.

The creation of this vehicle is a legendary story and it was done by one of the true icons of the automotive hobby. It was always meant to be "in your face", and, judging by the comments, it still does it very well.

Sure. There aren't enough mutherfukin' SUV pretend off road vehicles choking the ROADS already. ONE manufacturer has the good taste to not build another big ugly vision blocker, so there is still a bit of taste and class left in the world.
But some people just won't settle for that.

(yeah, I'm old enough to remember black-and-white Popeye cartoons on black-and-white TV sets...) I get the Jeep confused with the Shmoo, which I think was from "Li'l Abner"...

Beluga — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:29:36 EDT

I knew it existed, but this is the first time I've seen it. I was hoping that he had just put a Ferrari v12 in a regular Wagoneer. That would have been COOL! But this . . . .this . . . .abortion . . . . gaaak! Two nice vehicles ruined.

Dubious Returns — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:27:46 EDT

I have to say I love it. It almost looks like something a company would attempt to build, sell for three years, have unmanagable cost overruns and engine fires, then sell the factory it was built in and fire all the workers just to get away from it.

It screams Italian Alps and the lair from "On Her Majesties Secret Service".

Yeah, I'd bid on it if I lived close enough to look at it first.

I read about the Jerrari (one of them) in Ferrari by F,M,&T years ago. I'd never seen this pictured and that's probably okay b/c it certainly isn't my cup of tea.

THAT BADGE, however, is about the coolest thing I have seen in forever. Maybe that needs to be the Jalopnik secret greeting ("Jeep! Jeep!").

That's it. I'm off lolcats for the duration and headed to youtube to see if I can find any popeye Jeep clips. I'm probably going to be writing Jeep at the bottom of every post for a long time. I won't be able to help myself. Man, that's cool.

Jeep! Jeep!

dylanseals — Mon, 12 May 2008 17:39:16 EDT

I would have preferred the 4x4 donor be a Rover of similar vintage. That would at least have a bit more pedigree. Only seconds later, that thing I said about pedigree now sounds like bullshit to me. It's only good quality is that it was way ahead of its time, as far as the luxury "sport" 4x4 wasn't actually realized in the market place until the late eighties.
