Vigilante, one of the world’s leading experts in vintage Jeep restoration, has unveiled their latest masterpiece: a 1975 Cherokee S with a spectacular 485-horsepower 392 HEMI engine. The two-tone Jeep is handcrafted to exacting detail, with a cool Brittany Blue body and a Glacier White stripe accenting the hood. Vigilante sourced the 1975 Cherokee S from Texas and completely reengineered it, showcasing the superb craftsmanship of their build team.

Like all Vigilante builds, this 1975 Cherokee S starts with a complete disassembly of the original body to its bare metal. Vigilante approaches each restoration with the precision of aerospace engineering, using CAD design work based on a complete 3D scan of the original vehicle to develop each new custom-built chassis. This allows Vigilante’s modernized upgrades to seamlessly fit onto the new chassis, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind driving experience in an incredibly powerful vintage American truck that is ready for today’s roads.

The new Vigilante 1975 Cherokee S is a powerful and capable vehicle. Its 6.4L HEMI 392 MOPAR Gen III crate engine produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque, which is enough to get you anywhere you need to go. The Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission provides smooth shifting and precise control, while the Advance Adapters Atlas-II transfer case and Dana 44 front axle and Dana 60 rear axle ensure that you can handle any terrain.

Vigilante’s new vehicles are stunningly well-crafted and customized. The new 1975 Cherokee S custom features a purpose-built high-density aluminium radiator with an 850W Vintage Air brushless electric fan as its primary cooling system. Mopar cast iron high-flow exhaust manifolds are joined with a set of Borla stainless steel mufflers to create a sturdy, durable system. A vented 26-gallon powder-coated black stainless steel fuel tank with a large, easily serviceable fuel filter is also included in the Cherokee S.

Vigilante has introduced a new two-tone 1975 Cherokee S that features high-quality interior appointments designed to carefully recreate the style of the 1970s. The cabin is trimmed in Moore & Giles leather embossed with a subtle flower pattern, and a Vintage Air Magnum V climate control unit keeps drivers and passengers comfortable in all weather conditions. A state-of-the-art JL audio system combined with the original Jeep AM/FM/CB radio offers Bluetooth and HD-radio capabilities, and a powerful amplifier and six speakers provide excellent sound quality. The Vigilante 1975 Cherokee S is available starting at $295,000.
