Overview

OVERVIEW

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2023 Jeep Gladiator Hellephant AMW 1000 showing just 1,988 mi (3,199 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Punk’n Metallic over a custom Black Tuscany leather cabin, this outrageous off-roader is a fully re-engineered Gladiator packing the mighty Hellephant.

Created by Michigan-based America’s Most Wanted (AMW) 4x4, this unique Gladiator boasts 1 of just 100 Hellephant crate engines ever sold by Mopar. Based on the automaker’s Hellcat mill, in Hellephant form, it becomes a 7.0L supercharged V8 cranked up to a heady 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. Per the seller, there are no more of the Hellephant motors available for purchase.

Not to be confused with a garden-variety engine swap, AMW has carefully re-crafted the base Gladiator into an epic machine capable of putting all that power to the ground with ease. Highlights include full-float 8-lug axles with ARB Air Lockers at both ends, a heavy-duty transmission out of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, and a custom long-arm suspension.

That is just the tip of the iceberg on what goes into an AMW build like this. The level of detail is extraordinary as detailed in the gallery and is reflected in the original base cost of approximately $260,000. And, with the installed options, the AMW price was over $300,000.

NOTABLE COMMENTARY

• “The way it delivers power is simply amazing…the AMW 1000 pulls hard enough to rival the world's supercars in a straight line.” - Autoevolution

• “...to call the work America’s Most Wanted 4×4 does “a V-8 swap” would be an injustice. Its turnkey Jeeps are about as close to a factory Hellcat Gladiator…that you can get.” - Hagerty

But AMW has gone much further than adding power and cosmetics to make this Gladiator truly unique. Note the engraved headlamps, the bobbed bed for better angles, the unstoppable running gear, and the OEM-quality shifter coin. There’s so much more to the turnkey AMW 1000 than we can talk about here. 

Which means its next owner is in for the treat of a lifetime when they first get behind the wheel of this exclusive Hellephant-powered Gladiator AMW 1000.
