Hot Rods Willys Sedan Drag Cars

Let's see some Willys sedan drag cars. 4 doors 2doors. Did these cars run Gas class or Altered class with engine set back? Here are just a few i found around the H.A.M.B.

 

If the engine setback was no more then 10% (NHRA) then it could have run gas class.

These are cool. I have always liked the sedans better then the coupes for door slammers.

Color me stupid, and school me a bit, or at least help me remember.

@DDDenny or @Speed Gems the headlight (bug eyed?) cars are '39 and earlier right?

 

Come on. There's got to be more than a handful of these cars out there!

 

10% setback was allowed in Gas Class

Nice to see these cars get the courage they deserve.

Love willys period!

 

My friend Jim and me in about 1967 at Minnesota Dragways

 

Assuming that the bug eyed cars had their original front ends they would be 1937-38 or 1939 model 48 cars. They also made the 1939 Willys Overland with the shark nose.

 

Thanks It is something that I have tried to store in memory but it always seems to get deleted.

 

my favorite...The Chicken Pickers....Indy '71

 

The "Assassin " from Post #5, ran A/G with an injected Pontiac, and SBC, before John Anderson and Chet Thomas (owners), chopped the top and installed a blown fuel Chrysler. Jim Barnard joined the team, and they moved to AA/FA.

 

I think that's Lutz-N-Lundberg before the built the Anglia.

 

You are correct.........g-willys

 

Then there was this...

Followed by this for the old sedan...it went to Al Tschida and his race partner

 

NOW IT'S OVER IN WISCONSIN !!!

Hope to be beating the snot out of this one in 2017!

 

Eddie Sanzo 41 sedan ran A/G with a 468" 409 motor. Vinnie Tarantola owner of "Vitar Hydros" had the 40 sedan that ran C/GS first with a nailhead Buick and then with a 288" Chevy which he held the C/GS record with.
