Willys-Overland Motor Company began their Willy coupe in 1937 with
mostly traditional styling and as the company continued along it
gradually evolved to a very similar look to its competition, the
Ford DeLuxe. This changed names to Americans as most companies
began to aim their marketing plans towards a more patriotic angle.
Their biggest downfall was their poor 4-cylinder engines which
ended up needing replacing frequently and became a prime target for
those into the hot rods. Many turned these into their own projects
and made them into racing machines, rat rods, and everything in
between, and to this day the Willys holds a special spot in the hot
rod world because of this.
This Willys offered here was originally raced in the Super Chevy
class in the early 90's. The vehicle has been built in a few
different configurations over the years and is currently powered by
a 540ci V8, which is said to make 750hp. Power is routed through a
built TH400 3-speed transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. The
IDA Custom Automotive fiberglass body rides on an Art Morrison
frame and man does it look good underneath. The craftsmanship on
every piece of this Willys is something to admire.
Hit the door popper and step inside to find the custom caramel
brown interior. Power seats, power windows, a leather-wrapped roll
cage, and the leather-wrapped center console all add some classy
touches to this beast.
