The Jeep Cherokee was unceremoniously killed earlier this year, but that hasn’t stopped Vigilante from cranking out eye-catching restomods.

Their latest is this 1975 Cherokee S, which was found in the Lone Star state and then stripped to bare metal. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg as the model rides on a “custom-built chassis” to ensure modern upgrades fit seamlessly.

Speaking of the latter, power is provided by a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 developing 485 hp (362 kW / 492 PS) and 475 lb-ft (643 Nm) of torque. It’s paired to a six-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel drive system with an Atlas transfer case. They’re joined by Dana 44 and Dana 60 axles, front and rear.

To bring things to a halt, there’s a Hydratech braking system with six-piston Baer calipers. There’s also an aftermarket power steering box, which promises to make the model “infinitely more drivable and nimble on the road.” They’re joined by an upgraded cooling system, high-flow exhaust manifolds, and an off-road focused suspension with Fox Racing shocks.

Vigilante didn’t say much about the exterior, but the Jeep has a beautiful Brittany Blue paint job that contrasts with a Glacier White stripe and roof. We can also see bright chrome bumpers and 17-inch wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires.

Moving inside, there’s tan Moore & Giles leather with an embossed flower pattern on the seats and door panels. The SUV has also been outfitted with a Vintage Air Magnum V climate control system and an original AM/FM/CB radio.

This particular build was apparently made for a client, but Vigilante noted you can order one of your own. However, it won’t be cheap as prices start at $295,000 (£238,037 / €276,200).
