I am surprised I had never heard of this SUV prior to today...the Monteverdi Safari, produced from 1976 to 1982, based on the IH Scout. One of the engine options was the Chrysler 440.

I wonder how reliable the hodgepodge of 1970s IH, Chrysler, and European parts was, but it's a cool early luxury SUV still. I bet finding one of these is next to impossible today. I would drive the wheels off one if I could get it cheap though.
