Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the
classic and muscle car business. The Willys-Overland company had
been building cars for almost 35 years before they assembled their
first Jeep. Of course the 362,841 Jeeps they produced during WWII
were what made Willys a household name. Gearheads of a certain age,
however, will remember the glorious gassers of the late 1950's and
early 1960's, many of which bore the Willys name. This wicked
all-steel 1940 Willys street rod is a gorgeous example of the
marque that evokes a bit of the gasser mystique. Lift the uniquely
shaped hood and you'll find a potent 392 Hemi that's been fortified
with a Street Demon carburetor, a Hot Heads aluminum intake
manifold, long tube headers, MSD ignition, and an aluminum
radiator. Additional features include a Mustang II-type IFS, 4-link
rear suspension with Ford 9 and 4.10 Posi, power rack and pinion
steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, Vintage Air A/C, 700R4 automatic
transmission with O/D and 3500 rpm stall converter, a 9-point roll
cage, a Ron Francis wiring kit, a custom interior, and big-n-little
American Racing alloy wheels wearing appropriate shoes (165/80R15
F, 31x10.50R15 R). Frosting? Check out the beautiful ghost flames
under the hood and on the dash, as well as Big Daddy Don Garlits'
signature in the glovebox. Cooler than the other side of the
pillow! There are not many all-steel 1940 Willys coupes out there,
and fewer still are built this well. If a wild Willys is on your
bucket list, call the Texas Hill Country's premier source for
classic cars and the team that can make your dream a reality.
