LDO Posted Tuesday at 01:07 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:07 PM (edited) The Malco Gasser coupe, street car and Van/sedan delivery. I need some parts from the gasser. Wondering if I can get them from any of the other 1933 Willys models. Edited Tuesday at 01:08 PM by LDO Left out important info
Tim W. SoCal Posted Tuesday at 01:28 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:28 PM (edited) Other than the sedan delivery body, they all share the same parts, IIRC. Edited Tuesday at 01:29 PM by Tim W. SoCal
Chris V Posted Tuesday at 01:53 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:53 PM Essentially yes - The model started out as a quite accurate replica of "Ohio George" Montgomery's famous Willys gasser as it was run in the 1967 season. Some minor adjustments have been done to the tooling over the years, but apart from the main body and glass, the Coupé and Sedan Delivery kits are identical.
LDO Posted Tuesday at 02:38 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 02:38 PM I ordered a Sedan Delivery off eBay a few minutes ago. Thanks, y’all.
Shark Posted Tuesday at 02:46 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:46 PM From the kits I have, the "street version" has different tires and does not have the unique wheelie bar.
Mark Posted Tuesday at 02:53 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:53 PM Some of the "street" versions don't have the headers or injector scoop (and the wheelie bar either).
LDO Posted Tuesday at 02:58 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 02:58 PM The main thing I want is the rear axle. I’m trying to scratch build one but it’s not working out. The seats are cool for vintage drag cars. After taking out those parts, the Sedan Delivery would be a cool curbside street rod. Pro Touring sounds cool.

The rear axle is a somewhat simplified 1957-64 Oldsmobile/Pontiac unit. The best source by far is AMT’s 1962 Pontiac Catalina.
LDO Posted Tuesday at 06:26 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 06:26 PM I wish I had known that a few hours ago. No big loss. It’s still a cool car. I wanted the axle for my Dodge Fever build. It was recommended in the 1969 How-To article. I have an inbuilt ‘62 Catalina. Thanks for the info.
