Peoria IL 1965 Wild Wedge Altered - anyone remember this car?

Bumping this one - been a while hope some new info pops up, and thanks again to chuckb41 !

 

Any luck getting some photos?

Back when I was in high school, (Canton ILL. Class of 1981), there were stories of a couple of old Willys drag coupes out in the country between Canton and Farmington, (Farmington is just North of Canton and both are about 30 miles west of Peoria). One was supposed to be about a 1933 and the other about a 1940 or 1941. Never heard who raced them, but Jim Selkirk lived in Canton at the time, (His son Jim was in my H.S. class). No idea what happened to them, where they went, or if they were saved or scrapped..

 

...oddly, this sounds a lot like the coupe that Al Ranz (owner of Arnie Beswicks 61 Pontiac for quite some time) owned for awhile in the 60's, was it blue?

 

Yes Sam, it is. Hence the Pontiac Mill that Alan put in it.
