HISTORY/COMMENTS:

Purchased used in March 2012 with 151K miles, in great condition with a super-strong motor. Gets its name from the custom hood paint, which changes color when viewed from different angles and lighting conditions. Saw lots of off-roading until my son took it over as a daily driver in September 2015, now have to be more careful with it. Still my favorite Jeep of the three we currently own (others: 1980 CJ-7, needs work, 2014 JKU Freedom, still bone-stock).
