Vehicle description
This is a good running Willys gasser , registered and titled in my name as a 1940 Willys coupe using the original 40 VIN tag on a 40 Willys chassis , with a 41 center section . Completely street legal , everything is new or rebuilt . It rides like a Gasser .
This started as a wrecked Willys Gasser Coupe I found in Maine, The car was crashed bad to the point the rear of the roof was ripped off. So i rebuilt the body shell with a piece from a fiberglass body I had . The back half of the roof is from the glass car everything else is steel. The fenders front and rear are steel , hood ,center section,trunk lid is steel , the doors i made from sedan doors and are steel also . Grill and headlights are original not aftermarket .The floors are made from steel sheet metal .
The chassis is a mint 40 Willys chassis sand blasted and painted flat black. All new springs and chassis parts were used with a WAC custom built front axle . Ford spindles and disc brakes on the front . The 57 olds rear axle is all new rebuilt Posi 308 ,31 spline axles and brakes . Vintage Cragar SS wheels front and rear with new cheater slicks and skinny front runners .
The interior is a set of buckets from Summit , they are new and comfortable . Tuck n roll door panels , kick panels and behind the seat ,headliner is roughed in place . Series 60 B&M shifter , old SW gauges , seat belts , 4 point cage , functional gas pedal from an old drum set , yes it is what you use to wack the throttle . All new tinted glass and channels rubbers etc .
The motor is a 331 HEMI , had it bored to 3.98 , sonic tested the block , new 7.5:1 Venoila blower pistons and used new Childs and Albert aluminum rods spinning on a 5/8 stroked crank you have a 421 CU IN HEMI . The motor uses studs top and bottom , oil pump was ported and polished , I run the blower at 5 over to keep it from heating up in the florida heat . The motor is full of all the best parts from hot heads . The Triple 5 heads have stainless valves , springs , blower cam , hyd. lifters ,from hot heads , HH timing cover ,BBCH water pump ,hidden alternator ,MSD electronic dizzy with a box , 671 supercharger w/ 2 500 cfm carter/edelbrock carbs , MPH scoop , patina chrome valve covers.
The custom made 2.5 " fender well headers are HPC coated back in the late eighties and still look top notch . I attached the motor to a fresh 2 spd powerglide , reverse valve body race ready transmission with a 2500 stall converter and again to a POSI olds /pontiac rear .
Took about a year or more full time to put it together , I have been building cars for over 40 years , know what i am doing as this is Willys number 21 .
Will sell to international buyers , you will need to make all shipping arrangements , do a wire transfer for payment and are welcome to have someone come and inspect the car prior to sale .
Don"t need the money , space or excuses , looking for a serious buyer . Trades never work so NO TRADES , cash or bank wire only accepted .Shoot me a number and time to reach you at if you SERIOUSLY want to talk about the car. Price firm , please don"t waste your time or mine .
