IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ANNOUNCEMENT The popularity of the classic
Gasser-style Willys has never waned, a fact that today translates
into fabulous street rods such as this professionally built
fiberglass-bodied 1941 coupe. Today the trend is toward the
full-drop lowered look, which is achieved here starting with a
sturdy custom-built rectangular-section tube frame fitted with
upper and lower tubular A-arms working with rack and pinion
steering and dropped spindles up front. Adjustable Coilover shock
absorber's are used at all four corners along with vented disc
brakes. No Willy's is complete without a monster mill; this one
uses a Weiand supercharged 406 CI Chevy with twin Holleys, polished
aluminum heads, Flowmaster dual exhaust and polished billet
accessories, all in a sharply finished engine room with polished
stainless steel inner fenders and firewall. An aluminum radiator
aids cooling, and a Borg Warner Super T-10 4-speed with hydraulic
clutch and Hurst shifter make the connection to the 4-link
suspended Ford 9-inch third member. Huge Mickey Thompson Sportsman
tires mounted on deep-polished Weld Racing Outlaw aluminum wheels
dominate the view from behind, with narrower pieces up front to
emphasize the low-down look. House of Kolor Orange positively
lights up the Willys Reubenesque body, which has been smoothed and
shaved to make the most of its basic form. The sculpted interior
couches passengers in the comfort of Tan Ultra leather bucket seats
with Ostrich inserts and features a molded headliner, a chromed
steering wheel on a matching tilt column, Auto Meter White faced
gauges in an embroidered dash, AM/FM/CD sound and remote entry.
