If you’re looking for a go-to piece that dominates the strip and stops the show, this Willys is your ticket to street rod couture! This head-turning Willys Americar is a high quality tribute that’s been hand-prepped, dipped in Metallic Burgundy 2-stage, and finished to a much higher standard than anything that rolled off pre-war assembly lines. Founded on smooth Street Beasts fiberglass, the car was assembled around 2006, and while its shape is ultra-traditional, a few choice tweaks provide unique personality. Featuring a balanced, 540 cubic inch Merlin V8 that’s fitted with a Dragonslayer crank, Callies rods, a custom Comp cam and JE pistons, this sleek classic is more than just some pretty parking lot poseur. Behind that professionally built engine, a cooled TPI Turbo-Hydramatic 400, which comes complete with automatic overdrive, twists a custom Denny’s driveshaft. At the back of that driveshaft, a narrowed and braced Strange 9-inch spins streetable 3.25 gears. That first class drivetrain rolls on a custom, square-tube chassis, which is paired to a fully custom suspension. Turns come courtesy of modern rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are provided by four power-assisted discs. And at the corners, polished Boyd Coddington wheels spin meaty Mickey Thompson Sportsmans. Pop the car’s lightweight doors and you’ll reveal a custom-tailored cabin that’s ready for cruising. Racing-style buckets stretch tight leather hides beneath a 4-point roll bar and 5-point Pro Series G-Force harnesses. Auto Meter supplied the sporty gauges. A Kenwood CD player bumps crisp Kenwood speakers. The driver harnesses Merlin’s power through a polished and wrapped steering wheel, which laps a polished Ididit column. And a B&M Pro Stick shifter plays well with trick pedals. Willys is an icon, and this fully sorted Americar puts a highly unique spin on a very familiar face.
