We love the 1941 Willys because it has become an icon of the drag
racing and street machine scene where big power is announced with
extra-sleek flame-kissed style. And this one gets that legacy right
with the dual-quad supercharged V8, huge rear tires, and a
white-hot color theme. But there's much more going on here. This is
a real-deal steel body Willys Americar. And where you're lucky to
get even a passenger seat in the replicas, this is a four-door
sedan with nicely done upholstery - including the rear seat. So
take some extra time checking out this powerful full package that
also has a bit more cruiser style than you ever expected in a
Willys.

When you have a shining V8 that has both a big blower and dual
four-barrel carbs, you know this has the power to live up to the
legend. But we like how this sedan wants to be a real classic, too.
The interior is nicely finished to feel quite inviting. The front
seats are borrowed from a late-model Volkswagen for quite nice
support, and there's still room for the rear bench even after the
tubbing for the big rear wheels. There are even some nice driver
extras. Of course, you need a [proper set of readouts, including
the large tach, but this also has welcomed additions like a tilt
column and power steering. No one is suggesting that this is going
to be your daily driver, but there is a feeling that you'll enjoy
this one much more than just on trips to the dragstrip. So if you
want a real Willys that you can use for more real fun, this is the
one you can't let slip away. Call today!!!
