Cliff Hix from Pittsburg Ks put one of those Allison's in a Willys and drove it several times in the 60's.
Love these old ads. When I daydream about “going back” and buying 10 of everything, reality sets in. I’d never have the dollars needed back then. Now there was a “time travel” post a bit back…
That Allison engine would have been 6-7 grand in today’s money . still a steal , but not a bargain ba*****t price for back then either . I’ll still take 2 anyways
I got to see cliffs car once, my boss was buddies with him, they grew up together. Cliff invited him to the shop when they fired it up and took it down thee street. Cliff said too much power and hard to stop. Don't know how far they got on the car being finished, but I heard the car was still in the back of his place of business until, I believe, atleast the mid 90's... ...
