Sold multiple times, this rare Honcho Sportside is number three in our five-series production of J-10 Honcho Sportside restorations. Out of 1264 vehicles originally produced by Jeep during the 1980-1983 era, this is one of five of the finest examples to be found worldwide.

This Honcho was restored to JeepHeritage Stage One restoration standards but has been updated to Stage Two standards (multipoint fuel injection, Bluetooth, hydro-boost and four disc brakes) since the initial build. The vehicle was fitted with a 6 inches suspension lift in the back and 4 inches in the front to be able to accommodate the original Goodyear 37 inch MTR tires (same family as the mythical Hummer H1 tire). Over the years and due to unavailability of the 37 inch tires, we have updated the vehicle to BF Goodrich All Terrain 35x12,5x15 inch tires.

During the restoration, we took the Jeep down to its bare frame. The frame was sandblasted, galvanized and powder coated so it would never rust again. The body was media blasted, metalized and painted to the highest standards. Undercarriage was polyurea coated before marrying back with the original frame. The drivetrain got rebuilt and upgraded to an AMC 401, the largest engine ever made by AMC in the days. Interior was reupholstered to highest standards in the Laredo style with high bucket seats and full leather on dash, door panels, seats, arm rests, … New old stock bumpers were located as well as the grille. Wiring was completely redone and audio was upgraded to amplified Bluetooth and Sirius. Full stainless steel exhaust from front to back. The rumble of this Jeep is phenomenal.

We could go on for 10 pages of work description and details. Feel free to inquire if you have any questions. The vehicle currently has around 35k miles since restoration and can be delivered within the month of the order. Full picture documentation and description comes with vehicle.

This Jeep has traveled the world for show and adventure. To name a few places: Scandinavia, Italy, Spain then all around from East Coast to West Coast in the US on several road trips. This comes out of Daniels private collection.

Available now at $145,000. Spare the 36 months current wait on new builds and get a stage Two build for the price of a stage one. Be fast. This one will sell fast.
