You aren’t likely to find Greg Huizenga’s Jeep Cherokee typical Jeep things. Instead, you will find it ripping around cones on an autocross, or blasting down the dragstrip printing sub 10 second time slips courtesy of the compound turbo Gen 3 Hemi under the hood. This isn’t a race Jeep, he’s racked up tens of thousands of street miles along the way.

How many barn-find muscle cars are returned to driving status? I’d say not many. Ryan McPartlin’s 1967 Plymouth Valiant was rescued from a llama barn and revived but only for a short amount of time, then eventually put out in the field to die. Fortunately, Ryan was able to rescue the car from its previous owner to give it another life.
