Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

The Praying Mantis, the car was out of El Paso, Texas and the photo was taken in Deming, New Mexico on July, 4th 1966. It had a blown 327 with a Turbo Hydro transmission and ran a 10.66 E.T. The crew was Joe Hicks, Dave Akers, Richard Clark, Chito Barron and Mike Keough

 

I know Dave said Coupe Picture Thread, but this sedan was Bitch'n! Thanx Tony!

 

Just saw a feature story on AAron Bedrosian's '39 on hotrod.com. Great family,too.

 

This was mine. Sold it in about '82. Sure would like to find it again.

1940Willys, that's the Mura Brothers pickup. Here are more pictures of it in the 60s.

 

This would be an easy fix today but in 1942 I think it helped win WWII. Bob

 

As a kid, I can remember staring at this pickups magazine image for hours. Imagine my surprize when it turned up at our local indoor show. So.... just one more

 

It resides in Erie PA now.

 

Ron Kilmer - Springfield, MO. Blown Gasoline 392, Torqueflite. The Real Deal!

Notice that Ron is wearing a Ronnie Nunes shirt.

 

Rob, Thanks for filling in the blanks on a vintage picture that I had never seen before. Do you know anything about the White one called Suddenly? I have never seen that one either.

 

This is my dads car. Funny to see it on here.

 

^ You seldom see a stock Willys Coupe anymore. Very few have survived.

 

Kilmer ran against Gary Hart in the final of A/GS at The World Gasser Championships. Unfortunately, he had a wounded transmission.
I have been trying to remember if I ever saw this one at Green Valley. No info, but wonder if
the 426 number refers to the naturally aspirated heart under the hood.

 

Do you have any more info or pictures of this truck,looks like Fremont dragstrip, thanks Doug

 

Here are two that I have never seen before.
