Hot Rods The Ultimate Willys Gasser Thread

This kit was re released again a couple of years ago.... It's possible you might be able to find it on ebay or your local hobby shop... Yes, it still has the same box art...

 

I'm sorta chipping away at this awesome thread as I have the time - I know it's been awhile since these two posts were made so I apologize if someone has already responded and I missed it. This one was on display at the now-closed World of Speed Motorsports Museum in Wilsonville OR a few years ago when I was there. According to the sign it was on loan so unless something has changed recently, it appears that this car is still in the family. Sign said originally built 1964, rebuilt 1985, steel body, 'glass front and doors. Very cool to see it up close.

 

Had the pleasure of seeing that one in action - "Geezer Gassers" put on a great show at Grove Creek Raceway in MN a few years ago.
Warming up the hides....

 

And a couple from the Meltdown Drags - 2017.



This early Willys coupe parked at the Bones/Isky tent in the pits was pretty much totally O/T for this board, but the window decals were cool...

 

This one has cropped up in a number of posts here; had the chance to see it in person a few years ago when I snapped this photo at the Museum of American Speed (Speedway Museum) in Lincoln NE. Cool history behind the car, you can read about it on the museum's website here: S&S Willys - Museum of American Speed
