The XJ-002 used a Jeep Commando pickup frame and running gear and had a fiberglass body (the production car was to use Cycolac thermoplastic). Described as the first four-wheel-drive Jeep Sports Car, it was to have been sold through selected Jeep dealers. It was designed by Dann Deaver for the Bolide Motor Car Company under a commission by Kaiser-Jeep directly before their takeover by AMC. The AMC takeover happened when the car was commissioned and built and debuted at the 1970 New York Auto Show. AMC had no interest in pursuing the project, which was a joint venture between Kaiser-Jeep and Borg Warner (manufacturer of Cycolac Thermoplastic). The car was rediscovered in West Virginia in 1996.
