Vehicle Description
This incredible 1941 Willys Coupe is the kind of hotrod most guys
and gals only dream of owning. Count this as your chance to take
home a show-stopping custom streetrod that's every bit a match for
those cars you've been drooling over in the magazines for the past
20 years. Huge 350ZZ4 V8 power, a killer two-tone paint job,
performance chassis and suspension, and an outrageous custom
interior make this dialed-in Willys Coupe a total rock star.
The body is made from high-end fiberglass, very likely from Street
Beast (according to the VIN plate), and if you know their work,
then you already know that this is a first-class build all the way.
With impeccable fit and finish, this fiberglass rod is more than a
match for its steel counterparts and benefits from modern
engineering that give it a highly polished feel on the road. The
Blue Metallic lower body absolutely sizzles, but is balanced by the
striking Silver Metallic upper portion, all separated by an
airbrushed bronze pinstripe and ghost flames that follow the body's
natural contours and act as a perfect line of demarcation between
the contrasting tones. The paint is in excellent condition, with
only minor signs of use and age acquired during the miniscule 3649
miles on the build, and the fit-and-finish is exemplary with even
gaps, laser-straight panels, and crisp, curvy lines you could set
your watch to. Shaved handles and hinges on the suicide doors, that
giant clamshell hood, the classic Willys grille, and big, round LED
headlights are classic design cues that are neatly incorporated
into this rod, along with those incredibly cool teardrop taillights
and 2-piece split rear window out back all round out the build
beautifully. This rod looks right, sits right, and won't be
mistaken for anything else on the road or at the car show.
The incredible interior is perhaps even more outrageous than the
body, with charcoal gray tweed buckets highlighted by blue piping
accents on the seats, embossed flames on the matching door panels,
and tautly wrapped matching tweed materials that line the interior
of the cabin and the rear speaker area behind the seats. The door
jambs, window sills, and custom dash were all painted to match the
exterior theme, right down to the two-tone and pinstripe treatment,
and a full array of Auto Meter instruments keep a keen eye on the
powerful engine under the hood. A Lokar shifter for the TH400
3-speed automatic was mounted atop the transmission tunnel, and
it's the perfect complement to the billet door hardware and
leather-wrapped billet steering wheel that's mounted atop a tilt
column. Options are rather limited but you do get power windows,
electric door poppers, seatbelts, cupholders, and an upgraded JVC
AM/FM/CD head unit that powers speakers in the doors and behind the
seats with the help of a mounted Alpine V-Power amplifier. With so
few miles on the build, everything is in great shape and even the
matching custom trunk enclosure is as slick-looking as the cabin,
so you'll want to show it off every chance you get.
So many Willys rods are so over-built that they're next to
impossible to drive, but this one carries a stout 350ZZ4 V8 small
block that's both powerful and tractable. A Holley 4-barrel
carburetor, Bowtie polished aluminum intake, and aluminum heads
help it run like a scalded dog, a March serpentine belt system
drives the accessories, and an aluminum radiator and auxiliary fan
keep the whole show nice and cool. A set of custom long-tube
headers snake under the custom frame and dump into a throaty dual
exhaust system that exits at the side right before the rear wheels,
and with rack-and-pinion steering and power front disc brakes it's
very easy to manage on the road. Adjustable coilovers front and
rear help with the handling as well, and the TH400 3-speed
automatic transmission is the perfect dance partner for the ZZ4.
Flashy 15-inch Weld wheels look amazing, especially with staggered
and deep-lip setup tucked into the rear fenders, and they come
wrapped in 135/R15 Firestone fronts and 29x18.50x15 Hoosier rear
meats that are very grippy and complete the classic hotrod
stance.
Impressively built with a long list of A-list hardware, this is a
first-class rod that's poised to take home some seriously big
trophies. It would take way more than our asking price to build
this car from scratch so whoever gets this beauty is really buying
at a huge discount relative to the build cost. Isn't it time you
got off the bench and into the game? Call today!
