Just another Willys

[crossfire 2004]

Recently had yet another crazy build idea that has resulted in this Willys. I’ve no idea what class it would or could compete in, it was just built for fun. I figured that not every racer had access to a coupe body, so why not a decommissioned military jeep instead.

Hogans Heroes body and rear half of chassis mated to the front half of a AMT ‘33 Willys frame and suspension. Rear axle is narrowed Matchbox ‘55 nomad as is the engine/trans, seat and part of the floor. There are parts pack slicks and parts box bits & bobs.

It will never win any prizes but I really like it, hope you guys do too.

Thanks guys, in hindsight perhaps this should be in the drag section - maybe admin would like to move it across if need be.

I like it too , if it was in a contest I'd vote for it !

Crazy cool.

Hard not to like an old Jeep and the "Gasser" treatment makes it even cooler!

Very interesting build. I recall seeing several Jeeps converted into Drag Cars thru the years.

No headlights, no second seat, and I think the wheelbase might be too short for a gasser. NHRA would no doubt put it into Altered.

That is great !!!

That looks like it was really fun to build.

Neat little gasser!
