This cool-looking Jeep M715 is a gem in its own right. But the fact that it was restored to help victims of domestic violence makes it a lot more special.

The project was spearheaded by Nick Dodgson and a team of mechanics in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Jeep is the latest in a number of vehicles Dodgson and his team have restored over the years to help raise money for Safehouse Services of Laramie County, a nonprofit agency that helps victims of domestic violence, as highlighted in a Wyoming News report.

It’s pretty clear that Dodgson and his team have a deep passion for the project, known as the Cheyenne Wheels For Charity, which is done in partnership with Midas Cheyenne. The 10-person team of volunteers started the project in January, and collectively donated about 2,500 hours of their time to get it done.

The previous two restored vehicles, a 1976 Trans Am and ’66 Mustang, raised $135,000 in ticket sales for the domestic violence outreach agency. This year, organizers are hoping to raise $100,000 raffling off the Jeep.
