1975 Jeep Cherokee

This 1975 Vigilante Cherokee S is a bold expression of vintage muscle and modern mechanical mastery, finished in a striking two-tone Brittany Blue and Glacier White. At its heart lies a 485 hp 392 HEMI paired with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission—a rare, driver-focused combination that truly comes alive when carved through winding canyons. We’ve replaced the utilitarian roots of the 1970s with a bespoke cabin featuring Sand leather and intricate, period-correct floral embossed inserts that honor its heritage. This build is our definitive answer for the enthusiast who seeks a visceral, analog connection to the road without sacrificing the luxury and relentless reliability of a world-class Vigilante evolution.
