Willys Coupe 1941 Description

A lot of folks think they own "show cars" because they're really nice, ut anything parked next to this amazing 1941 Willys coupe is going to have a tough time competing. A no-holds-barred professional build, t is full of amazing details and simply awe-inspiring workmanship, aking it one of the most spectacular cars we've ever represented.Willys coupes are iconic pieces of hot rodding history, hether they be gassers or brutal pro-street machines like this. Based on a fiberglass body, f course, his spectacular 1941 shows off what you get when cost is no object. The surfaces of the body were painstakingly smoothed by the guys at TNT in Detroit, nd if anyone knows about getting cars to look amazing, t's these guys up in the Motor City. Then there's a ton of time wrapped up in getting the gaps right, he doors fitting just so, nd all the other little stuff that separates the great rods from the merely interesting ones. The hood was modified to clear the scoop on the big blower and those headlights are from an Indian motorcycle, atching the Willys' original teardrop design but giving them a more high-tech look. Two strips of LEDs form the taillight and upper brake light, ocated just below the split rear window that's a big part of the Willys' appeal. Two stage urethane paint looks stunning with a color shift that seems to make it glow from within. Green and red flames lick across the hood and fenders, eeming to originate within the custom two-piece grille, nd it's all buried under the clear for a truly seamless look. The leather-lined interior (and when we say leather-lined, e mean it: even the floor is leather!)is every bit as dramatic as the exterior. With custom-crafted seats, eautifully stitched upholstery, nd details that delight the eye everywhere you look, HIS is what pro-built rods look like. There's not a single piece inside this car that wasn't tweaked or massaged in some way, ncluding the custom painted tilt column, he leather-wrapped billet steering wheel, nd even the Auto Meter instruments, hich have custom-painted bezels inside a trick instrument pod. A hand-fabricated center console houses the auxiliary gauges and T-handle shifter for the TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, ut no other switches or knobs mar its sleek, mooth look. You'll also note that the graphics wrap around into the door jambs, hat even the brake pedal lever is painted to match the body, nd every square inch of the trunk is finished in matching tan hides. Wow.The engine is a crate 502, ut since leaving it stock is what everyone does, hey slapped a set of aluminum heads and a giant 8-71 blower on top and feed it with a slick Kinsler fuel injection setup. Custom paint is everywhere you look, ncluding the valve covers with airbrushed graphics, nd anything that wasn't painted got polished or plated. This goes double underneath, here it was finished to win trophies, nd the frame, uspension, nd even the custom-built 9-inch rear end are treated to the same exceptional detailing, ight down to filled welds and custom-painted green flames. Coil-overs, isc brakes, nd a polished stainless exhaust system all mean that it's totally street legal, ut with only shake-down miles on the clock, t's never been there. Giant billet wheels wear a big-n-little tire combination that truly defines the pro-street look.Show quality in every way, ou will not find a nicer Willys anywhere. You couldn't build one yourself that's this nice, nd certainly not for the price. We don't use the word "perfect" to describe cars, ut we truly can't see how this one could be any closer to it. Simply put, his car is amazing. Call today!
