I've always loved the Cherokee too even though it's a ragtop as what's cooler than that hood and induction system!.
It was the pace car up here at Mosport and I expect what the one shot in the clip w/ the McLarens etc is from..
Best wishes whoever the lucky dog is that gets this special car!.

The photo is from Road America in 1967. Sir Sterling Moss was the race program director, for Can Am and he is the one driving the car.

It is a cool car to drive.

Stephano, how much did it sell for? I had that car in my hands to buy years back for $85K, but it was missing a lot of stuff under the hood. It was way before the new owner did the great research on the car, and spent money to get it driving again. He put his heart and sole into getting that car to where it is today, and he stepped up and rolled the $85K initial dice roll.
