History A moment of history...Teixeira Willys

All that the car needs is burnt rubber particles hanging from the rear fenders.

 

I saw the car in person at the CHRR and it was bitchin! What are the tail light lenses? The bases look like original willys. Thanks for all the great photos!

 

Fred should run that thing in Hot Rod come March Meet.

 

Great job Mark! I ran through it quick so I'm sure I didn't get everything, but very cool! I'm impressed.

 

Great Willys. Thanks for spelling my name right on the door. First saw it in fresno/blackies show. tex1935

Jeez...I was wating for "Rasin City" to come up. Went there w/Vern Garcia (boss at the time ) from Parts House, SLO. Ran a '69 Nova as I remember. Who....was the guy that ran a '69-'70 Super Bee hemi, (yellow) that would run a 12:40ET with ANYONE behind the wheel? Unbelievable. Put it in "D"...mash the gas.

 

I think this is later, maybe 1967? I was at the 1966 Bakersfield meet and it didn't have primed fenders then.

 

Parts House? Then you knew Harold with his drag car Tenatious!

 

BTTT.....the Willy's is in the new Rod and Custom.

 

Such a killer car! Damn nice job Skip!

 

Thanks Kev....would have been kinda cool to get my name mentioned in Rod and Custom but it did not happen?

 

Skip---didn't see the rag yet but you SURE should get the accolades for this job--great job and we know you did the work

Very neat build nice to see some recognition in the magazine.

 

All the important people know the real story.

 

YES! The HAMB has more readers than R&C!

 

What a ride, thanks for taking all the pics and sharing them with us. Thanks to all who owned the car and appreciated it.
