Johnny Loper had some classy cars. We were at Indy that same year with the MG. Loper's black anglia came after the Willys, also a beautiful car.

The Ramona strip near San Diego was built after the 1960 street racing riot. Read about it here on the HAMB: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1960-san-diego-drag-street-riots.688267/

And a little later, 1964 I believe.

 

The early days of the Mr Gasket company--maybe out of the basement by then.

And now time for a correction since I checked with Todd. First, that is not the same car as in the first photo as the original car was crashed and was then replaced with the car I posted, the orange one. And the photo I posted was Oct 65.
I checked with Todd as my memory rarely serves me well.

Wild Portuge

Enough photos of this car have been posted that by now everyone should know that it is the Ardun powered Safeway Sandblasting entry.

Back when a Willys wasn't worth much

 

That to me is so cool, I remember all the beach buggys on LI but never seen a Willys passenger car of that vintage. Plenty of jeeps and wagons. There was once a fire tournament truck that was a Willys with a BBC in it, saw that but this is a first. Cool picture El it brought a big grin to my face this morning.

To give you an idea of a tournament truck (not really hamb friendly} but LIers know what I'm talking about.
