History 1933 - 1936 Willys, picture thread

K.S.'s 1933 Willys in 1965...This was probably K.S.'s best car... From what Dave Hales has told me, this was K.S.'s favorite Willys. I'm still looking for a steel 33 to do a re-pop of this car...



Absolute classic shot of K.S. running the Maz 40..!

 

This is one of K.S.'s later cars... The last time I heard it was in the NHRA museum..

 

Bob and Donna Clayton's 33 Willys... This was another "Later" K.S. car. Bob and Donna were very good friends of K.S. I'm happy to be able to call them friends as well...!

 

Don't know much about this car... but it sure is a looker!

 

Some more photos of Ohio George's.... George was one of the big four Gasser's back in the day. I got the chance to be friends with George the last couple of years... I really enjoy every conversation I have with him!

 

A neat shot of Ohio George racing K.S...... BOTH were heros to me, but since my Dad had a friendship with K.S. ..he was my favorite..lol When I showed K.S. this pic, he said George must have red lighted..! lol

 

I believe this car is now restored....

 

Another one of my favorite cars!

 

Another cool looking gasser....I always "thought" that the Altizer on the side of the door was Gene Altizer......but it wasn't.... Still a very cool looking gasser!

 

Another good shot of Jack Coonrod.....

 

Cool pit shot of Chuck Finders.... Thats Chuck on the right...

 

Here is a few of mine... might be selling it though since most of my time right now is being spent on the 1939 diamond t and this one is just sitting. Lucky to have 200 miles on new engine.

 

Two more shots of the F-Troop 33 of Prock and Howell.. I buy my pistons from Tom Prock, he works at Venoila.... His son, Jimmy is a crew chief for John Force

 

I don't know a whole lot about this car...

 

I like the spoiler on Gary Dubach's 33....

 

A couple more random shots...

 

OK, I have to get back to work...lol Hope the shots I posted are new to some of you.. I knew I had a file on 33's somewhere on my computer! I'll post some more a lil later .....

Rocky

 

I've always liked these but If I had one I think I would fill the spare tire dimple on the back.

 

Great batch of pics Rocky. The one with your dad's old car as "Pure Acid" in the background is great.

 

This is the ex Traveler, Altizer/Finders/Kibler 33 Willys, owned by Roger Garten.

 

This black 33 owned by Art Gustafson is the old blue Del Rio & Carlson 33. I assume Art still owns.

 

Great Photos Rocky love the old ones of your Dads car !! Great job posting with that annoying buzzing in the backround well done !!

Rocky, et al: It's been a million years since I was on the Gas-FX group; what ever happened to Croweman's (I think that's the name) 33? I always liked the stance on it.

 

Gordon Crowe is who I think your talking about.... Gordon crashed the 33 at Beaver Springs a few years back....spent a couple of season rebuilding. The new version has run very quick... I "believe" he has run 8.20's (if I'm wrong I'm sure "Eddie" will let me know!)

 

Thanks Mark...!

 

Thanks Mark (again!) Art sold me some parts when I was building my Boss Hydro Willys........

 

You should add it to you collection!!! It's for sale

Nice pic, but I'm pretty sure that's a Ford.

 

Here's some recent shots of Gordon Crowe's new ride. He ran some strong numbers last year. I also believe I heard he ran an 8.28.
