Willys

This street rod was acquired by the seller in 2011 and was subsequently the subject of a street-rod build utilizing a fiberglass Willys-style coupe body and a custom chassis. Power comes from a 541ci Ford Boss V8 linked with a TCI Super Street Fighter C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear axle, and the car is finished in blue over black upholstery. Features include rack-and-pinion steering, a four-link rear suspension setup, tubular front upper and lower control arms, four-wheel disc brakes, QA1 adjustable coilovers, and Weld Racing wheels as well as a bolt-in roll bar, AutoMeter instrumentation, power windows, electronic door poppers, Procar bucket seats, G-Force harnesses, and a trunk-mounted fuel cell. Registered as a 1941 Willys Car, this street rod is now offered in Canada with build records and a Saskatchewan registration document. The Willys-style fiberglass body is modeled after a 1941 Americar and is said to have been sourced from Outlaw Racing. The exterior is finished in House of Kolor Cobalt Blue and features include a molded hood scoop, a tilting front end, a billet grille, a power-actuated decklid, rear-hinged doors, shaved door handles, body-color mirrors, and rectangular side exhaust outlets. Staggered Weld Racing aluminum wheels are mounted with Mickey Thompson tires. The boxed frame has been fitted with rack-and-pinion steering, a four-link rear suspension, tubular front upper and lower control arms, and QA1 adjustable coilovers. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with a Wilwood master cylinder, Wilwood front calipers, and SSBC rear calipers. The cabin features Procar bolstered bucket seats trimmed in black upholstery. Equipment includes a body-color dashboard, a bolt-in roll bar, a Ron Francis wiring harness, power windows, electronic door poppers, and G-Force racing harnesses. An aluminum fuel cell and battery are mounted in the trunk. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and frames an AutoMeter Carbon Fiber Ultra-Lite 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 5 miles. Total mileage is unknown. The Boss 429-based 541ci V8 was built with components from Jon Kaase Racing and utilizes a SCAT stroker rotating assembly, a COMP Cams camshaft, Diamond pistons, and a Jon Kaase Racing intake manifold, rocker arms, and cylinder heads. Additional equipment includes an 1150-cfm Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor, a Moroso electric water pump, custom stainless steel tubular exhaust headers, and MSD electronic ignition components. An aluminum radiator with dual electric cooling fans has been installed. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TCI Super Street Fighter C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear axle with 3.60:1 gears. According to the seller, a Hughes 3000-rpm stall converter, an aluminum driveshaft, a NASCAR-style center section, and Strange 31-spline axles have been installed. The replacement serial number tag reads W158AK5743, which corresponds with the VIN listed on the Saskatchewan registration. The factory-issued VIN tag is not present, and the Saskatchewan registration lists the car as a 1941 Willys Car. Build records are shown in the gallery. The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a province that does not issue titles for vehicles. It is being sold on its Saskatchewan registration.
