History Earliest Willys Racecars

Yes it is

 

There's just something about a Willy's. They look look their going 100 MPH. even sitting still!

 

Looking at the location in Oregon. Do you know Dr. Lockjaw in Applegate. He built the chassis in my 41 Stoody Gasser called Super Stude. Jamie Ford see pic

 

I have been around Jamie at Medford and Woodburn, but don't remember meeting. I get a kick out of his car and watching him have fun with it. He is a good friend of author Scotty Gossen.
Love the Stude. When I was promoting The World Gasser Championships, Johnny Loper let me know that I had "Sure F...ed Up" by not including Studes. He was right.

 

This coupe belongs to a HAMB member now and still has the same paintjob but I can't find pictures of it right now.

 

I think his name is Jason or JP for short

 

Found it, came out of a junkyard in Witchita Kansas about 25 years ago is what I read.

 

It looks similar to your fathers car Elgringo. I would leave the steel wheels on it.

 

Definitely not the same car but there are some similarities. Here is dad with his coupe in the 60s. His was a 1940. I like the steel wheels on the front of the coupe with the Pontiac Indian painted on the door in the early picture. I believe that it has magnesium wheels on the rear in that picture.

 

^^^^Really like this pic, COOL.^^^^

 

Valiant

 

@loudbang that is definitely an early one that ran in the lower classes. G/ Gas and there is a magazine article posted on it somewhere in this thread I believe

 

@loudbang
More of the Safeway Sandblasting ARDUN powered car with Bones Balough driving at the Winternationals on the first shot and it is pulling the wheel up into the air

 

Jasper Pontiac & Buick

 

Frannie Heatherman at New England Dragway 1969

 

Here is another picture of it thanks to @loudbang

 

Love the pic of Jim Nelson & Jack Chrisman looking at Jacks double engine dragster!!!!!!! Are those MEL engines?? The front engine has 2 value cover bolts & the rear engine at least 3 visable valve cover bolts but the header flanges look the same on both engines. Or maybe FE engines????????? I'm a Chevy guy so I am not shure what type Ford englnes were available in 1962...........

 

I never was able to find out much about that one but here is a picture of the shop that it ran out of.

 

Look at this 40 racing in Texas and posted by @1947knuck

 

Nice to see one with all the stock trim pieces.

 

I am not sure if these pictures are from 1962 or earlier but it has the look of an early car.

 

This is my Willy's pick up back in the day !

 

That truck looks pissed!

 

Man, I really like the look of that coupe!

 

A friend showed me this.

 

It looks like a rocket!
