Titled as an actual 1941 Willys, this breathtaking ‘41 coupe began life as a straight and smooth fiberglass body from Clayton Custom Cars in Raleigh, North Carolina. Once the body arrived for its full shakedown, the slick panels were covered in House of Kolor Cinnamon Pearl, sealed in FIVE coats of UFC 35 clear and rubbed to a fantastic shine. The result is one bad street rod with absolutely no sign of orange peel, gaps that are exceptionally narrow and moving parts which close with a solid seal that is more akin to a modern Corvette.

Under the cars fiberglass hood you’ll find a completely detailed GM Performance Parts ZZ502 big block V8 which makes a dyno-proven 751 horsepower. At the top of the motor, a pair of boost-referenced Mighty Demon carburetors mix air from the polished shotgun intake with a steady stream of fuel which travels through a frame mounted Holley HP 125 fuel pump, a chrome Holley fuel regulator, a pressurized fuel gauge and polished stainless fuel lines. At the base of those carburetors, a polished 8-71 billet blower, supplied by The Blower Shop, sits between polished aluminum Edelbrock RPM heads and an MSD billet distributor. At the top of those heads, you’ll find chrome “Willys” branded valve covers, at the sides of those heads you’ll notice polished wire looms which hold Taylor performance wires; and under those heads, you’ll see polished long tube headers which look great next to the big silver block. At the front of the motor, a polished serpentine system with polished pulleys spins a chrome alternator and polished AC compressor, which is complete with polished stainless lines, above a polished Meziere water pump. That water pump receives water from a polished brass radiator which is equipped with two chrome electric fans, chrome flex hoses and polished overflow tanks.

The car’s big engine is backed by a proven GM Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed automatic transmission which is equipped with both a 2,700 RPM stall converter and a durable, finned pan. Power from that tried and true transmission flows through a 1350 U-joint to a Strange nine inch rear end that turns tall 3.70 billet aluminum gears and Moser axles. The cars chassis is a sturdy boxed frame that has been powdercoated satin gray for durability. At the front of that chassis, polished tubular control arms combine with aluminum coil over shocks, a polished Heidts manual steering rack and polished tie rod ends mix the best of form with function; and at the back of the chassis, a show-detailed four link suspension combines with aluminum coil over shocks and a heavy duty rear sway bar to provide drag strip worthy launches. Keeping all this muscle rolling down the road is a slick set of 17 inch Budnik Ozone wheels which wear 205/40 Sumitomo radials up front and 31×18.5 Hoosier Pro Street radials in the rear.

Prop the doors on this awesome street rod and you’ll find a Copperhead themed interior which was designed and executed by award winning designer Lucas Sanchez. Built around custom black leather buckets seats with actual snake skin inserts, this stunning cockpit wraps its occupants in a very well integrated six point roll cage and modern three point seat belts. At the front of the car, a body-matched dash centers billet aluminum vents around a full assortment of slick Classic Instruments All American Series gauges and a cool chrome Willys emblem. Below that dash a body-matched “Willys” branded and custom covered console flows from a Dual MP3 compatible CD player and Vintage Air climate control system past a B&M shifter and power window switches to an ignition killing ’suicide’ switch and polished emergency brake handle. And in front of the driver, a polished tilt steering column hangs a leather wrapped aluminum steering wheel above chrome pedals and a billet hood latch.
