1941 Willys Coupe Coupe

Like fashion, he collector car market is cyclical. And, ike fashion staples, here are some cars that never go out of style. For instance, ou just can't go wrong with a comfortable pair of jeans. Likewise, ou'll always be admired when you pull up in a ground-pounding Willys. Back in 1941, t a small automaker that was about to go through its second bankruptcy, o one would have guessed that, 1 years later, e'd think a striking silver Americar is one of the coolest street rods we've ever seen. But alas, reat design endures. And when great design is mixed with modern technology, t's a sure-fire bet for success! Featuring an impressive roster of components, supple leather interior and a 502 cubic inch big block V8, his head-turning custom is poised to draw big attention and take home very big trophies. It's also completely sorted, cary fast and amazingly comfortable. Forget all that nonsensical talk about boring coupes and trendy roadsters owning the next cruise season, his first class Willys is your go-to piece for stopping the show!

For over 25 years Outlaw Performance of Avonmore, ennsylvania has been a leading supplier of custom fiberglass bodies, nd this spectacular coupe is a testament to just how well they've honed their craft. Purchased as one of their full body and chassis packages, he car benefits from a hand-laminated, ne piece construction technique that combines an embedded Poplar floorpan with a sturdy, nitized steel structure. Take a look at our high resolution photos and you'll see that every panel is as flat as Kansas, ith a shine that's only found on six-figure hot rods. That shine comes courtesy of a radiant coat of House of Kolor Mercedes Silver candy. And that impressive paint is accented by a dynamic array of Wade Hughes' reverse flames. It's hard to find any well-done street rod that doesn't turn heads and inspire stares. But this car, ith its excellent stance, ublime paint and well-planned detailing, akes most custom builds seem amateur and second-rate.

That's why professional customs like this fully sorted Outlaw feature just enough high quality bolt-ons to create a classy and timeless appearance. At the front of the car, contoured hood rides above a polished grille and two original-style headlights. Behind that hood, ightly smoked glass and remote power windows sit between stylish, olished mirrors. At the sides of that glass, emote doors hang shaved handles behind tough aluminum hinges.

And overall, his coupe is simple, mooth and classic, arrying the true hallmarks of enduring design.

One thing you won't have to worry about in this Willys is power. Thanks to a 502 cubic inch V8 that's been balanced and blueprinted to 502 horsepower, his sleek street rod is more than just a pretty parking lot poseur! At the top of the world class mill, chrome carburetor mixes air from a polished cleaner with a steady stream of high octane dinosaurs that travels through polished lines and a polished canister filter. At the base of that carburetor, chromed intake rides between familiar aluminum heads that anchor polished valve covers under a combination of polished and chromed breathers. At the back of those heads, n MSD Pro-Billet distributor sequences fire through loomed Taylor plug wires. Cooling is provided by a coated water pump, hich is aligned behind an electric puller fan, triple-pass radiator, chrome corrugated hose and an electric pusher fan. And exhaust is handled by a pair of ceramic coated block huggers, hich look great next to the motor's bright red skin. Naturally, his Willys clean engine bay is a sea of first rate hardware, rom its chrome mini starter and braided coolant lines all the way to its polished accessory drive and Willys branded cowl. And overall, he car displays a first-rate level of workmanship that conveys a quality, ailored demeanor.

Behind that professionally built engine, modern 700R4 4-speed twists torque through a 2,800 RPM stall converter to a Strange FAB9 and big, .73 gears. That first class drivetrain is held off the ground by a custom, quare-tube chassis, hich is bathed in a smooth layer of Mercedes Silver paint. At the front of that chassis, polished Heidts suspension, hich is equipped with modern rack and pinion steering and individually controlled air shocks, ixes pleasant rides with vintage feel. At the back of the chassis, polished 4-link suspension utilizes two more individually controlled air shocks to provide drag strip worthy launches. Serious stops counter the car's serious speed via a power-assisted Wilwood set up that wraps polished calipers around drilled and slotted rotors. Exhaust duties are handled by 3-inch, et-Hot coated pipes that growl through polished Borla mufflers. And keeping all this muscle rolling down the road is a slick set of polished Budnik Gassers which spin 25x7.50R15 Hoosier Pro Streets in front of 31x16.50R17 Hoosier Pro Streets. With a beefy drivetrain that's been reliably built to be both tough and fun to drive, his '41 Willys is the real deal.
