Don’t know about ugly, but there are lots of stock hot rod SUVs for exactly the reasons you describe. American brands are late to the hot rod SUV game though at least Jeep has made an effort.
Vehicles used to be fun, darn it. If I could own any car, or 2, it would be a Ford Model 48 and a Duesenberg, any Duesenberg. Good thing we don’t have a garage. :-)
