Vehicle Description
Lot #662 - This unique custom Willys, affectionately called
"Swoopster," was one of the first completed by designer and builder
Dennis Taylor of Dennis Taylor Reproductions. It was originally
designed and custom-built from a standard coupe body with many
innovative modifications. Unique body modifications include a
removable hardtop, MINI Cooper headlights, concealed flush-mounted
taillights and a rotating electric license plate. Finished in
Lamborghini Yellow with custom graphics, it sits on Billet
Specialties wheels that are 18x7" on the front and 22x10" on the
rear. The smooth dash with white-face gauges and center console
flow together. A hidden drop panel under the dash houses the
ignition, switches, stereo and DVD system. The custom seats,
fiberglass door and floor panels are covered in leather, suede and
ostrich. The rear trunk matches the interior and has a 24" LCD
monitor for the DVD system. The highly detailed engine compartment
has many upgrades. It is equipped with a street and
performance-built LSI 350ci crate engine with aluminum heads,
Flowmaster polished exhaust system, 4L60E automatic transmission
and Ford 9" posi-traction rear end with 3.89 gears. Other features
include custom suspension, Aldan chromed shocks, full air ride with
6" drop and lift and 4-wheel disc brakes. It has received awards
from Goodguys, NSRA, Super Chevy, ESPN2 and DUBS.
