Looks like someone grafted a 40 Willys front on to ... ? Only picture I have of it , and its not a very good picture i know Maybe its just a pile of stuff tossed together and its nothing ?
Absolutely nothing at all and you really don't want it in your way. ya want my address? I guess it is all steel? Maybe it started out as a Heally. What's the back half look like?
Nope they don't. Looks like it may have been infulenced by a Corvette a little in that dept. I am think it is an English import but I can't think of anything that would have had the split seats. I guess it could have been a car completely custom fabbed.
Perhaps, I am trying to get a pic of an early jag in my head. I just don't remember if they had a divided seat. You got any paperwork on that thing?
Here's the Craigslist ad for that in Dallas. It says it was built from a 1940 Willys. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/2802793128.html "Custom built 1940 willys roadster... Sbc with a 700r4.... Runs and moves but it a project.... So yes... It still needs work before she is out on the highway.. Need to sell, have new project.. 3000.00 or best offer call or text for more info... One of a kind car!!! Cell 580 305 0888 Ratrod rat rod hot lifted street fast drag trade ford chevy apache banshee yfz "
when I first looked at it it reminds like a early Vette I could be wrong but thats my Opinnion Just my 3.5 cents
Looks like a hand made "special" from the fifties. The early sports car boom led to a lot of guys building their own sports cars out of junkyard parts. Some of them even got finished.
I bought a Willys Coupe rear section that was all rotten , it was a custom Roadster back in the fifties apparently .................... I haven't figuered out how to post pics yet though lol..................not a computer guy . There's also a pic floating around on the net titled Blue Fiero GT and it's an old Willys Coupe Roadster too . It's a shame to see these old heros cut up .
click reply ( just like you did to post that ) scroll down, see manage attachements .. click manage attachements It should pop up a box, there should be a spot that says "browse" click that, it will allow you to find the pics in your compter, when you find that pic click Upload It will take a 2nd or two , it should show you a timer .. then when finishes, just hit submit reply
OK , it worked but do I really have to resize everything before I send it ? Well here's that old "Roadster" rear clip I was talking about . Thanks for the help with pics guys .
ONE OFF CUSTOM ROD NOTHING SPECIAL , at least that's what I believe . Customs were being built then too , here's another example but a 37 / 38 .....................
There were some articles in Hot Rod and Car Craft in the late 50's early 60's with cars similar to that. Seems hand built rods/customs with sports car shadings where a trend for a while.
ya teach me this "hot link" you talk about ! I like these customs but now that I have my 40 Coupes I am glad I don't have to deal with removing any "custom" work like that .
I was out hunting one day and spotted it in the back yard of someone's house I knocked on the door but no one was home. I took a few pics of it. The next weekend I went back but it was gone. At the time it had a flathead with a four barrel . I wondered what happened to it. That was about ten twelve yrs ago.
