This isn't rare for the SVT team to underrate HP. (Obviously discounting the Cobra in '99) The Lightnings were notoriously underrated for power based on the dyno sheets seen on the NLOC boards.

I think the Gen1's were rated at 240-hp out of the GT40 tuned Windsor 351. Some guys were making close to that at the wheels.

There are 4 for sale on eBay right now. One with 687 miles on the odo.

I would get one, but my concern is insurance. (Also, no manual transmission.)

Ok, I see that the LTV purchase split AMC, I knew AMC was Chrysler in the end. Before my cognitive years.

No,but plenty of comments have made the assertion.

The design work of the H1 started in 1979, while still a part of AMC, alongside Jeep. AM General was the name of the group that worked on government contracts.

HEY EVERYBODY,

GM did not design the H1. It was American General (then under the Chrysler umbrella) Hence the 7-bar grille, and the lawsuit that took place when GM attached it to the H2.

Though the engine and such were GM designed, originally, they were the military required units and built to those specs.

The only one to get 'GM' parts was the Alpha edition of the H1 very near the end of its production. Those received the Duramax Diesel and Allison transmissions. Both huge upgrades to the previous trucks.

Remember, these were designed and built by American General, not GM. The ones that got GM parts were the ALPHA editions that got Duramax Diesels and Allison transmission, both significant upgrades to civilian usability...

The Mopar Mirrors have buttons on the face (Chrysler 300, etc) but the Ford 500 (and my F-150 with the auto dimming mirror) had only the sensor on the lower portion of the mirror and buttons underneath.

This is a Ford 500.

Here is the Mirror for Reference:


Here is a 300's mirror for reference:

If you already have one, you may as well have two. Your parts dealer is already speed dial #1. the hard part is done.

I have a good friend with a Disco, and I used to sell the Land Cruisers.

Miles on a Land Cruiser are irrelevant, Rust however is not. I feel this is the opposite for Land Rovers.

If it were my $5,000 to go rough-roading, I feel like an OJ-generation Bronco would be in order, or a similar vintage 4Runner/Pathfinder.

Of these two, I pick the Cruiser, barring further inspection.
