Anyone ever heard of a Jeep Geronimo?

[shanebo]

I came  across this jeep the other day in Woodland Park. At a distance it thought it was a golden eagle but as I approached it to take a closer look I noticed the "geronimo" logo in the hood. I googled it on my phone and I couldn't come up with any info on a CJ-7 Geronimo. The lettering looks factory and the seats had "Geronimo" stamped into the pleather too...I waited about 20 minutes to see if the owner would come out so I could ask them about it  but I was at work so i couldn't hang out real long ...what do you guys make of it....dealer package maybe?...like I said I couldnt find anything on this Jeep and its become somewhat of an obsession for me.

If it didn't have the Geronimo stamped in the seats I would suspect it was just some lettering the owner added on.  I have not had any luck finding anything about a "Jeep Geronimo" either.  Good eye Shanebo!

Fifteen pages into my search engine and not a thing on a Jeep Geronimo.  If it was a dealer package I would assume there would be some sort of record of it. Perhaps that Jeep was recently restored and the lettering on the hood and seats was a owner modification.

My search did turn up what seems to be a park in Arizona that has some off road trails for Jeeps. Common relation perhaps?

Might ask these guys if they've ever heard of it - http://www.austinjeeps.com/ They do reproduction graphics for the common Laredo and Golden Eagle. Email them the pic or a link to this thread?

I've never seen one or heard of one. Might be an owner modification. Maybe a proud true Native American?

In a quick search, I found nada, but did find a cool black n white logo graphic of a compound bow with the caption "If Geromino had one of these, you'd be speaking Apache" beneath it.

It's think it's a Jeep thing, many Jeep owners like to put their own words there... I saw one that said "Lubicon" the other night.

I've never heard of it a "Geronimo" before though, so if it's real I bet it's rare.

i think i've seen that jeep before down here in pueblo and if i remember right the guy said it was a limited run type thing from a dealer.

I shot off an e-mail to austin jeeps...im curious to see what they have to say about it.  Im kinda kicking myself now for not blowing off work to talk to the owner....I need to get my priorities strait!

It is most likely a limited dealer package.  I bought a Dodge Ram, new in 96 that came with the 'Conqueror' package.  I was upgraded wheels, bumper and lettering package.  Other than that, it was a base Ram 1500 shortbox with a 5 speed...... I miss my truck...

I haven't heard back from austin jeeps yet but Im starting to really think this was a dealer package...which doesnt make it any less interesting or any less cool...it just makes it a lot harder find out it's history.

Gotta be some sort of dealer package with a very limited run. Could also be something somebody won at a casino way back when.
