Years ago I saw a report on a magazine about a Florida-based outfit that
used convict labor to convert DJ5's (Postal Dispatch Jeeps) to left-hand
drive, re-conditioned them, made them into convertibles and sold them to
the public (and overseas). Could this be an earlier venture from the
Encore people?

I saw one of these Encore Mutts about 3 months ago at a little military
vehicle swap meet and they looked all right, similar to a real Mutt but
not close enough IMHO. There was a real one parked neext to it so I had
a chance to check out the differences, and it didn't help that the
original one was a really well-done resto and had all the
accessories/trailer.

HTH!
