This one looks like one from an off-road magazine spread (maybe Petersen's 4wheel and offroad?) from the late '70's, early '80's. I've always thought it was super cool. Was there any info about it??

The Style screamed 70ΓÇÖs but looking closer, it was a Fresh Rebuild and Fresh paint! I couldnΓÇÖt say if it was redone original or a very flattering copy?

The Winch couldnΓÇÖt have been more than the same width of the bumper! It was small, like for an ATV!?
