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.

Wearing a high quality fiberglass body, which was purchased as a full kit from Outlaw Performance in Avonmore, Pennsylvania, this killer ‘41 Willys benefits from a hand-laminated, one piece construction technique that features an embedded Poplar floorpan and unitized steel structure. When the gelcoat canvas was virtually flawless, a spectacular layer of bright yellow basecoat/clearcoat paint was sanded and buffed to the mirror-like shine you see today.

When Stone Mountain Automotive of Traphill, North Carolina started working up the cars spec list, a completely modified 800 horsepower GM Performance Part’s 502 seemed like a natural fit in more ways than one. At the base of a Hilborn electronic fuel injection system, mirror-like Edelbrock square port heads, which were ported and polished by Heintz Brothers, sit at the sides of an Isky hydraulic roller cam and a yellow capped billet MSD distributor. At the top of those heads, you’ll find finned, yellow detailed aluminum valve covers, at the sides of those heads you’ll notice polished and yellow detailed wire looms which hold Taylor performance wires; and under those heads, you’ll find custom fabricated ceramic coated headers. At the front of the motor, a polished and yellow detailed serpentine system spins a polished AC compressor, a chrome alternator and a polished Edelbrock water pump below a custom fabricated, polished and yellow detailed thermostat housing. That thermostat housing receives water through a braided hose which connects to a heavy duty radiator that’s been outfitted with polished overflow tanks, three electric fans and a custom stainless radiator shroud. Wiring, which is hidden throughout the engine compartment in a series of bent stainless tubes and fabricated caps, runs to an MSD ignition system that along with other essentials, is kept in flip down easy access panels under the dash.

The bottom of this ‘41 Willys body comes standard equipped with Pro Wheel tubs which provide a perfect fit for the cars custom chassis and giant rear tires. Power gets to those huge tires through Moser axles that are connected to a chrome Moser nine inch Ford rear end which features an aluminum center section and wicked 4.56 gears. Those gears are spun by an aluminum driveshaft which connects to a tough 4L85E 4-speed automatic transmission that’s capped by a ceramic coated Hughes Performance finned pan. At the front of the satin black chassis, an Air Ride Technologies adjustable air suspension combines with polished tubular A-arms and a chrome steering rack to provide excellent turning; and at the back of the chassis, a polished four link suspension combines with aluminum coil overs shocks to provide great grip. Under the swoopy fiberglass fenders you’ll find 15 inch polished aluminum Billet Specialties wheels which roll 195/60 Goodyear Eagle GT front and 445/50 Pro Trac rear tires around yellow detailed Willys spinners.

Naturally, no expense was spared on bringing this cars cozy cabin up to par with the rest of the build. The custom Saddle leather upholstery looks fantastic and the fully power adjustable seats are both comfortable and stylish. At the front of the car, a body-matched and leather topped dash holds an aluminum gauge bezel behind a full assortment of Moon Equipped Classic Instruments gauges. Below that dash a lighted and custom covered Pontiac Grand Am console flows from controls for the cars air suspension and Secret Audio system past a Lokar shifter and chrome power window switches to a combination arm rest and storage bin. At the bottom of the seats, hidden storage compartments conceal a driver’s side CD changer and a passenger’s side transmission programmer above like-new carpet and yellow detailed sill plates. In front of the driver, a polished tilt steering column hangs a leather wrapped aluminum steering wheel above billet pedals and a billet hood latch; and behind the driver, a small leather lined storage space holds two more great sounding speakers above buttons for the cars Vintage Air climate control system.

If you’re the kind of enthusiast who likes to experience the best of everything, this Willys is the opportunity of a lifetime! Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this awesome car!

Power is supplied by a GM Performance Parts crate 502 making 502 horsepower and 502 pounds of torque, plenty to motivate this relatively lightweight car with authority. But you’ll also notice that the engine bay is well-engineered and functional. There’s not a lot of dress-up and flash under here aside from the cool custom-built air intake on top of the carburetor. A set of ceramic-coated headers dumps into a custom-built exhaust system featuring Flowmaster mufflers that exhale through custom tips under the running boards. You’ll also find a well-laid-out wiring harness, lines and accessories, a big radiator with an electric fan, and a dead-nuts-reliable carbureted intake system. A pair of electric fans was added to the inner fender wells to help extract engine heat from that tight engine compartment, a clever idea.

The interior is a great environment for getting down to the business of driving and has clearly been designed for long-haul comfort. The charcoal gray upholstery looks awesome with an almost OEM feel, which is not surprising given the seats out of a late-model GM truck. The combination of leather and suede on the seats is both comfortable and stylish, and this is an interior you’ll be happy to both sit in and admire. The center console is custom fabricated from aluminum, and houses the remote switches for the power windows, ignition and other electronic controls. The aluminum center stack houses the Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo system and HVAC controls from Vintage Air. A pair of simple round gauges from Classic Instruments is housed in front of the Grant steering wheel, while a Sun tachometer is perched on the dashboard up near the windshield for a vintage racer feel.

We have trailer queens, and if you want one, give us a call to check them out. But rarely do we get a car that was actually built to drive like this one was, while showing like a piece of jewelry. Sure, they’re all cars and they can all hit the road equally well, but the fellow who built this car spent his money well and built it to perform on the street. He built a reliable, powerful, fun bruiser that has already covered more than 3000 miles. If you’re the kind of guy who likes to drive and enjoy his hardware, you owe it to yourself to check out this fabulous Willys and see if you don’t agree with the builder that getting there is all the fun.
