1941 WILLYS AMERICAR

This iconic Willys is the result of a Rod and Custom magazine project that has many documented publications. Custom-built by Warren Boughn and Precision Street Rods & Machines this car was engineered with many NHRA drag racing features; however it is completely street legal. Due to its well-engineered EFI front suspension and custom-built 4-link rear suspension it drives handles and stops like a dream. The body and custom frame are by Outlaw Performance. The one-off Hilborn induction system was created from a joint effort by Hilborn BDS and Craig Railshaek. AEM Infinity components control the EFI ignition this Hilborn/AEM combination gives the Willys the gasser/dragster look with the reliability and performance of EFI. The monster 426ci HEMI with the BDS 8-71 supercharger was built by Dick Landy and is accompanied by a polished 727 B&M automatic transmission with a full manual valve body. The one-off quick-change rear end with ribbed hubs is by Halibrand as are the unique Halibrand Sprint wheels. The drivetrain components have been smoothed out and painted to match the body color. Baer NASCAR Series brakes on all corners giving optimum stopping power and are fully polished and chromed. All plumbing is stainless steel with aircraft AN fittings including the coolant system. The top-notch interior boosts an all Rolls-Royce Magnolia Connolly leather with baseball hand-stitched roll-bar tubes by Victor Zuniga. The paintwork is House of Kolors Candy Brandywyne painted by the legendary Gary Baca. This is a multiple show-winning car and comes with all documentation.
