The Coolest 1941 Willys Currently For Sale on The Internet is THIS ONE – Radically Awesome

I have to admit something right now. I’m a Willys snob. I have very particular tastes when it comes to these cars like everyone has for the things that they truly love, right? I’m not a fan of the pro street look when it comes to these cars, I am not a fan of the pro touring look with these cars. I am not a fan of overly modern engines in these cars. I am not a fan of billet shifter equipped automatic transmissions in these cars. I am not a fan of wacky paint on these cars and I am not a fan of weirdo modern billet wheels on these cars. THAT’S why this thing is magical. Literally.

Packing a load of heavily flaked green paint, pie crust slicks, kidney-bean Halibrands up front, a Jerico transmission with road racing sliders, and 632 m-effing cubic inches of big block Chevrolet along with a tube front axle and proper parallel leaf springs, this thing is a freaking beast that I am in love with.

The car sits perfectly and the giant rear tires fill the wheel wells of the Scott Rods body like a glove. There’s a set of S&W ladder bars holding the whole works up and I an only imagine what a freaking blast this thing is to drive. The seller says that he has more than $100,000 invested in the sucker and I’m believing it. I do not have the jack to buy this thing and certainly not the jack to build it but this dude, whoever he is, created the Willys I someday dream of building for myself. Damn this thing rules.

    There’s ONE way that could be improved – some vintage gasser era lettering, maybe in gold leaf. I’m with you on the formula for the right Willys. Their main draw is their association with ’50s and ’60s drag racing. Seeing one prepped for vintage road or stock car racing might also be interesting, but old school drag racing is their biggest strength.

    Also – did you notice the combination of roll bar, race seat… and handicapped tags? Guy’s apparently determined not to let anything hold him back from enjoying life.

    I agree with you Brian on almost everything you mentioned except the paint. I’m a big fan of those wild paint jobs back in the 60’s and 70’s. Too bad I didn’t win the Mega Millions!

    Bin the m-effing Shitrolet big block and replace it with a Hemi with a GMC blower and Hilborn shotgun injection!

    why does someone have to hate everything that has a chevy tag on it. In my book all V8 are cool cause they are a Real man s machine. One day it will be all over with gas engines and everything is all Electric cars, and it Might even be illegal to run a gas powered engine at all. At that time im sure gordie will be happy to even see a chevy V8 that runs.
    Here in Europe its getting closer to the end for gas and diesel. The government here in Denmark has just Said that they will work for the last gas powered car to leave the roads by 2030. As a gearhead with a love for Real cars with Real sound and smell, its hard to get hated on for driving a vintage musclecar on sundays. So stop hating on this and that, and just love them all as long as they are still around. I would rather have a chevy V8 than nothing at all. Some day they are all gone and you can have a Prius instead.
