Willys Coupe, AA/Gas, Pro Supercharged
Description
41
Willys coupe gasser, currently running in the West Coast Good Guys/VRA
series. This is
professionally designed and constructed race car using “the
state-of-the-art” components and construction techniques. The 4130
chromoly chassis was made by Bill Fitting to comply with the newest
SFI 25.1 specifications and holds a current NHRA certification . The
Fitting Co. built the entire car as a “turn key”. This was done
to maintain continuity during the construction process and thus
providing a quality finished race car. The light weight fiberglass
body was made by Superior Glass Works and is customized, (chopped,
channeled, sectioned, rear fenders raised to allow big slicks) but
still maintains the old classic Willys look. The car has unique
features such as front and rear torsion bar suspension, monocoque
aluminum seat, funny car roof escape hatch, a true safety fuel cell,
fully adjustable front and rear suspension as well as adjustable
wheelie bars and monocoque aluminum adjustable rear wing ,(that
really looks and acts like a wing) made by Dan Olson Co., several
tubular weight bars to adjust the balance, entire brake, axle and
rear end made by Strange Engineering, (featuring 40 spline gun metal
drilled axles and 4.56 gears), all safety equipment by Stroud
including dual chutes with “SPEEDY” embroidered on them.
Transmission is Mike’s Monster Glide with 10” Coan convertor and
blastproof Dedenbear case and a Mondello billet flywheel, trans
brake, electric/air shifter by MRC Quarter Pro Shifter. All data is
collected and tracked by a on-board computer by Racepak Data
Systems, Autometer Tell-tale Monster tach and gauges. Power is
supplied by a specially designed Alan Johnson Olds, (all aluminum)
which features canted valve heads and many unique “trick” parts
which produce extreme horse power and torque needed to push the car
to speeds near 200 mph. All four Monocoque wheels are the lightest available
with Goodyear racing tires. Enderle supplied the magnesium Bird
catcher fuel injection and pump and spark by Mallory super mag 4.
