    Lifting. AT/MT tires. Bumper and winch. What ever you'd do to a Tacoma or 4Runner to properly outfit for offroading, what muscle car would be ideal for this conversion?

    Not quite a muscle car, but ...

    I met this Gringo in Baja, he was driving a 1950 Chrysler Crown Imperial limo which he’d dropped onto a Chevy Silverado 4×4 frame - the frame had to be lengthened by three feet.
