New Jurassic Park in Eugene Oregon?

Saw this today when I took my car in for some service.

It needs some body work, but I didn't see any bites marks!

The jeep might be an original movie prop. It seems its pretty heavily rusted though and would require a lot of restoration. It would be even cooler if the dino was an audioanimatronic figure with an audible roar and moveable mouth. I'm sure the kids would go crazy over it if they survived the original scare.

I've thought of making my beige rubicon a jurassic park jeep with the same markings but am torn between that and other ideas. I guess its more fun to have a blank canvas because you can reuse it over and over again in your mind.

I found these online where folks get kits to remake a jeep into a Jurassic Park variant:

I was told this car belonged to one of the techs working at the car place.
There is also a guy in town that takes small old cars (cheap) and modifies them into things that kind of look somewhat like a star wars snow speeder (without the .wings) or more imaginary things.

Yeah one thing I thought was odd was the rust on the door and not on the lower body. This might be something special for effect.

Hi! I am the owner/builder of the Jeep. I am honoured that you would think this was an original movie prop! I have a full build log here https://www.facebook.com/JPJeep46/

Thank you again for the kind words! I am hoping to repaint it (still to look rusty, but with my newer skills) for the new movie coming out in 2 months.

All the rust is acrylic paint mixed with dirt for texture, layered in black, orange, and brown.

Congratulations!
Its a fun thing to see, for sure.

Interesting how you layered-up the rust.

I have a 2017 desert colored Rubicon and have considered doing a mod like that to make a Jurassic Park jeep but am hesitant to go so crazy. I also like the Lord of The Rings trilogy and thought that would be cool too. Just can't decide.

It's always more fun to have a blank canvas, it spurs the imagination.
