not too often we see something as special as this 1940 Willys All
Steel Gasser!
That's right, this Willys is 100% REAL STEEL and will steal the
show wherever it goes! Known as "The Handshaker" throughout its
racing history, original photos of the build process and times at
the strip will live on to the next owner.
Dual Holley carburetors rest on top of the massive 6-71 Weiand
supercharger that is not for the meek. Designed to generate 50%+
more horsepower and torque across the rpm range! Weiand's 6-71
blower kits are equipped with exclusive two lobe rotors for maximum
boost at lower RPMs. A Weiand intake manifold evenly distributes
the air while MSD coil, distributor, and 8.5mm Super Conductor plug
wires get the internal party firing! A 6 core cross flow radiator
keeps things cool. Transferring that power to the rear is a heavy
duty drive shaft that connects to a Ford 9in rear end where 31
spline axles and 5.13 gears rotate the massive meats. A Jerico 5
speed transmission with 7,000RPM shift points and McLeod clutch
help to transfer the power. Royal Purple #21 motor oil has been the
blood pumping through this beast. A Willys straight axle is upfront
while disc brakes help come to a rest when need-be. The front
suspension has been tied with cables to keep the wheels straight
when that happy foot wants to party. Only ever feed 112-116 octane
race gas, this Willys gets down! Autographs in the engine bay from
previous racers add the final touch.
Black bucket seats rest in front of the roll cage as the most
notable interior feature is the incredible "1st gear. Fan on. Kick
ass!" script lets you know you're about to shake! A boost gauge
rests on the column while auxiliary gauges watch the vitals. Prior
time slips sit on the driver side visor.
A battery cut off has been placed on the rear of the passenger side
as well as the battery in the trunk space. A 67/68 Camaro gas tank
feeds "The Handshaker."
Simply put, this Real Steel Willys grips and f*$&ing rips!!
