This 1933 Willys Gasser (titled as a 2013 ASVE) is for sale in our
Louisville KY showroom. The 33 Willys coupe was a desperate attempt
to beat bankruptcy after the great depression hit the company hard.
Little did anyone know that this little car would become the basis
for many dragsters but the company's most successful vehicle, the
JEEP. Gassers however is what these cars are truly known for and
this one was built by what many say the best in the business,
American Gasser in Saginaw MI. The car started life as nothing but
fiberglass and steel but quickly became one of the nicest builds
the crew had done. Starting with 2 x3 handcrafted tube frame as the
base for everything else to build from. The front end consists of a
flaming river 6 inch drop chromed axle, a set of eagles I beam
connecting rods and speedway spindles are all controlled thru the
Flaming River Vega steering box. The classic Ford 9-inch rear end
with a Currie housing is stuffed with a set Moser 3.55 gears that
are turning a set Moser 31 spline axles making for one of the most
durable rear ends I have seen. The QA1 coil-overs give the car a
pretty good ride with the custom built 42-inch ladder bars helping
with any traction problems you may have. The heart of this American
monster is what really sets apart from the competition. The blown
355 has a massive and iconic 671 blower sitting on top and peeking
out thru the hood. The 2 Barry Grant Carbs feed a massive amount of
91 octane to the setup. Internals consist of an Eagle Crank and
rods with a Comp Cam 507/501 giving it a nasty, lumpy idle. Spark
is courtesy of the MSD setup including distributor, 6AL Digital
ignition control and a blaster coil. With the sum of the parts
outing out an astounding 600+HP this ride is not for the faint of
heart. The interior has been tastefully done by a shop called
Sullivan upholstery that has put a quality interior in it. The
matching red 4-point cage is a nice touch especially against the
black buckets seats. The Willys engraved in the headrest really tie
it all together and the Simpson 5-point restraint system hopefully
will be just for looks. The dash consists of a set Vintage Brand
gauges to monitor all the vitals. If you have been wanting
something a little different yet iconic, a little quirky yet
unbelievably cool then this 33 Willy's Gasser is all of those and
then some. Options on this 1933 Willys Gasser include, Vinyl
Interior, 4 Wheel WIlwood Disc Brakes, 5 Point Harness, and
Aluminum Wheels wrapped in Radial Tires. This 19 33 Willys Gasser
