Most of these old Willys were use for the drags. any of you remember the gassers at the drags? straight axles, skinney little front tires and massive slicks on the rear.

My bro in law has a 41 with a Chevy 350 with a Jimmy Blower. damn that thing is loud and fast. his is all steel cab like the 39 above. these are rare and body parts are big $$$$. It is amazing that this 39 is virgin sheet metal and escaped the drag racers of the 60`s.

Most Willys seen at the car shows are fiberglass repo`s today. It`s incredable the size of some of the engines shoved under the hoods of these vehicles.

So a little 616/617 is peanuts in comparison.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
