1979 Jeep Jeepster II Concept

The Jeep Jeepster II was a concept car built in 1979. AMC came up with the idea for a stubby sports, which they called the Jeepster. This concept was more Jeep-like than the Mustang-influenced XJ001. The car was finished in red and had no roof. Designs by Dick Teague were for this new generation Jeep for the 1980s, but AMC lacked the resources to develop it beyond a drawing.

It would have featured:

• 4-cylinder turbocharged gas engine or lightweight diesel powerplant

• Independent suspension at all four wheels

• 160 inches long

• 65 inches wide

• 60 inches height

• Two-piece roof design

• Bucket seats

• Soft front and rear panels

• Roll bar

• Flat glass folding windshield

• Aluminum or fiberglass detachable doors
