So cruising on the internet stumbled across this.


Appears to be in Michigan best I can tell.
And from the build sheet appears it is factory.

And the really cool thing about this is that from the build sheet seems to be an Up Country one.
With most of the bells and whistles too.
Cause I am seeing a 6 speaker system which means an Infinity Sound System, an overhead console, driver's power seat, cruise control, etc.
To bad about the D35 with the ABS though. LOL.

Poking around I think I did see that was a possibility for an XJ like this.

im gonna call balogny on the factory option... im sure what looks to be a rear bottom side seat stuck in the passenger side rear glass void was definitely not on the factory build sheet

See now I thought the last thing listed in this screen shot was that.

So maybe this. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/xj...l-vans-250513/

It seems to me this would be more of a factory thing then what we're seeing here. I don't think chrysler would have made a whole new quarter panel for such a limited thing, inserts like in the link are much more likely. I could see maybe something happened to the quarter and the repair was cheaper to just sheet metal it flat.

Look at the upper rear of the panel, tailgate end roofline. Might just be the picture, but that looks like bird poop welds to me.

For me, it's one of 2 things, a factory blank that's modified by a third party (think flatbed trucks or rv type vehicles) or a fairly well done home/shop build with bad repairs/last minute fixes.

Probably not factory but cool none the less!

Pretty much know it was never used for the Funeral business.
I worked at Hollywood Forever for around five years as their Production person/ Sound engineer. (HAHA Only in Hollyweird we did concerts inside and out on the Fairbanks lawn, Classic Movies outside on the weekends, and a HUGE Dia de Los Muertos festival every year. OH! They also did funerals too!)
Learned more about the death business than I ever wanted to, but hey it was still pretty cool!

This thing could have NEVER been used for transporting dead people.
Too short to get a coffin in it, then there is no way in this thing to secure said coffin so it would not roll around in the back, and lastly a rear mounted spare would never fly in a hearse.

The one in post #1 looks like a DIY. Not bad tho. Those in the link ive seen before, but dont know too much about them. No one seems to. Only that they were sold in Europe, possibly Australia. All ive seen were RHD and have markers on the fenders. Were they built in house, or elsewhere? My guess is an aftermarket conversion company. Couldve been done independently, or some sort of agreement with Chrysler. Sending unfinished builds out to be converted for Chrysler, perhaps.
