1933 Willys Prock and Howell “F Troop”
This 1933 Willys was built in the fall of 1968 by Jay Howell of Berkley, Michigan to compete in an “Outlaw Gasser Circuit.” The Willys ran in the low 8’s at over 180 mph and featured a ’67 Big Block 482 Chevy with Hilborn injection and blower. Although intended to race with the gassers, its tilt body was deemed illegal, thus creating the need for an “Outlaw Gasser” class that, unfortunately, only lasted for a short time.
Tom Prock was responsible for the mechanical work while Jay drove the car.
