This classic Jeep Wrangler has more modifications than you could count by using your fingers and toes, and it is searching for a new home. The question is, would you shelter it and pay the asking price in return?
You may want to stick around for a few more moments as we have to delve into some of the things that make this 4x4 special, starting with the engine: an LS1. Said to come with paperwork, the 5.7L V8 came from a 2000 Chevy Corvette. It's paired with a Magnuson supercharger for impressive output and torque (numbers undisclosed).
The vehicle also has an automatic transmission, a transfer case, Dana 44 axles, special driveshafts, an underbody skid plate, Baja front lights, a Warn winch, a Gobi roof rack, 4.88 gearing with ARB air lockers, and a full roll cage integrated into the frame. An inverter is also on deck, alongside a CB radio, an onboard air compressor, and several other goodies.
Inside, this customized 1995 Jeep Wrangler benefits from a GPS so that you won't get lost in the wild, a pair of headsets for talking and listening to the radio, heated seats, a reversing camera, multiple gauges, sports seats with racing harnesses, and a black overall appearance. The exterior is black and red, and the off-roader rides on massive tires wrapped around the new 17-inch wheels.

Thus, you are looking at a proper off-roader equipped to tackle the most arduous terrains and fitted with a potent lump. The vehicle has been fully rebuilt, so it is in almost-new condition, especially since the odometer read only 2,058 miles (3,312 km) at the time of cataloging. There is a lot of documentation that reveals the rebuilding process that ended in late 2019, so the history is certainly there if this was on your mind.
Next comes the asking price, and as you can imagine from a Corvette-powered YJ Jeep Wrangler that boasts plenty of other modifications and barely has any miles under its belt, this 4x4 is one pricey cookie. The vendor, which we will list in the next paragraph, has it listed for $49,900, which may be steep for a rather old Wrangler, but this example is quite precious and unique.
For that kind of money, one could buy a brand-new Jeep Wrangler from their local dealership. The 2025 Sport starts at $32,690, the Sport S begins at $35,695, and the Willys at $40,190. For the Rubicon, Sahara, and Rubicon X, you are looking at a minimum of $47,550, $49,370, and $57,500, respectively. Now, all you have to do to purchase this 1995 Jeep Wrangler is click on this link, which will take you to the Garage Kept Motors listing. But will you actually buy it?
