Just read an article that was in Hot Rod this past week about that truck. Do you know what day its going to be auctioned off? Guido....Hows the clean up going with the flood?

 

Great picture Rick. LaVaun is such a sweetheart. We received an e-mail from her yesterday congratulating us on the cover of the newest Gasser Wars Magazine. We enjoy every minute that we get to spend with her.

Randy, here's the link to Silver Dollar on Barrett Jackson. It's lot no 1260.4. It's the only Willys listed this year - all the other cars listed under Willys are plastic 'replicas'.

From the link html I would guess January 18th, which makes it today.

Cleanup is slow and expensive - 400 tons of rock and $15k later just to excavate and fortify the creek which caused the problem and I am still just scratching the surface of the problem. That pretty much blows the Willys budget for this year....

 

Correction here - so much for my sleuthing powers Silver Dollar crosses the block on Saturday....

This truck actually ended up on the street in the San Fernando Valley, Ca. area in the 80's alwaysat the street races and ran pretty good with a small block chevy and automatic. It wore a faded non metalic darker blue paint job and still had "March Meet" stickers in the windows from the 60's. As I remember it was parked on a main street on the opposite side from where the street racing was going on and it was rearend by a passerby and totaled.

 

Some of the neatest guys in drag racing...! Always a ton of fun..!
