Mark forwarded this unusual XJ Glaval modified jeep. I’d never heard or seen this vehicle, but then I don’t know much about the XJs.

“I bought this as a daily driver without a clue about what I had. I have been told less then 100 of these were ever built. Do your research. Its very hard to even find pictures of these online. I was planning a full restore but my 79 CJ5 project has ate up my funds. I did install new radiator, water pump, battery, master cylinder, valve cover and gasket, thermostat and oil sending unit. Odometer reads 219000 and it purrs like a kitten. I have removed some of the interior with intentions of replacing the headliner but never got around to replacing it. I have all the original parts except for the rear bumper apron. Body is solid with zero rust. This in great shape for daily driving but really deserves a full restoration.”
I’ve never heard of them either but it resembles the “Choo Choo” Customs that was being done on the Chevy pickups back in the late 90’s. Same style rims, wood panels and stereo and video upgrades
John,
I’d never heard of Choo Choo. Someone gathered some Choo Choo information related to El Caminos: https://www.elcaminocentral.com/threads/choo-choo-customs-info.51192/

Glaval used to make conversion vans. Now they make buses. Located in Elkhart, IN.
Says no rust, but maybe body issues (possibly as simple as worn driver door hinge pins).
The driver door is sagging a half inch.
