Presented in a striking custom PPG Amelia Green, this 1995 Jeep
Wrangler is a thoughtfully executed restomod that blends the
unmistakable character of the YJ Wrangler with modern V8
performance and a carefully considered list of mechanical and
cosmetic upgrades. Finished with a Black hardtop and complementary
Black interior, the combination gives this Jeep a purposeful,
understated appearance while retaining the rugged personality that
has made the Wrangler an enduring American icon.
Power comes from a GM 5.3L LS V8 sourced from a 2004 Chevrolet
half-ton pickup. The conversion was completed using components
purchased through Novak Conversions, with the engine paired to an
Aisin AX15 five-speed manual transmission that was purchased new
specifically for the restoration. The resulting drivetrain provides
a significant performance upgrade while preserving the engaging,
traditional experience of a manual-transmission Jeep.
The chassis and suspension have been extensively reworked to
complement the additional power and provide the stance and
capability expected of a properly built Wrangler. The Jeep features
spring-over suspension front and rear with shackle reversal, while
a rebuilt Dana 35 rear axle with 4.10 gearing helps put the LS V8's
power to the ground. The suspension is complemented by 15-inch
black alloy wheels wrapped in substantial 33x12.50 radial
all-terrain tires, giving the Jeep an aggressive yet
well-proportioned appearance.
Inside, the Black interior has been finished with Bestop seats and
Interletronics instrumentation, including a GPS speedometer. The
cabin is particularly well equipped for a classic Jeep, with power
steering, power brakes with front disc brakes, air conditioning,
LED lighting, an AM/FM Bluetooth stereo, and tinted windows. These
additions make the Wrangler considerably more comfortable and
usable than its original configuration without compromising its
vintage character.
The appeal of this Jeep lies in its balance. It retains the simple,
iconic shape and personality of the 1995 Wrangler while
incorporating a modern LS V8 drivetrain, upgraded suspension,
improved braking, contemporary instrumentation, and the
conveniences expected of a vehicle intended to be driven and
enjoyed. The custom Amelia Green finish, Black accents, V8 power,
five-speed manual transmission, and purposeful chassis upgrades
come together to create a distinctive restomod with considerable
visual presence and genuine enthusiast appeal.
This is a Wrangler built with a clear vision: classic YJ character,
substantially improved performance, and the mechanical and comfort
upgrades necessary to make it an exceptionally enjoyable vintage
Jeep for modern roads.
