I just saw @alsancle listed this in the marketplace. Loved the 40-42 Willys since I saw the movie "Hot Rod" back in HS. Do not like the glass street versions but love the old school gasser variety. This looks cool and at 45k semi reasonable for a steel car until you see it sits on a truck chassis.
What do you guys think? The movie was shlock but the Willys was great!

I posted that because I have always loved the 40-42 Willys and especially period gas class cars. I do not like the modern street versions and if someone cuts up an original car or a period gas car to make a pro street Willys they have committed war crime in my mind. Closest I have came to buying one was this car which has period history in the 1960s. I ended up with my REO instead.
Big fan of these cars. The 1960s was the greatest time to be at the drag strip. Fewer and fewer 1/4 tracks all the time. I think this picture was posted to one of the other topics here and I swiped it.
I think the Guggy's Willys was posted in the groovy paint thread. The most famous of them all is the Stone Woods and Cook car.
