1941 CUSTOM WILLYS 'SWOOPSTER'

This unique custom Willys, affectionately called 'Swoopster,' was one of the first completed by designer and builder Dennis Taylor of Dennis Taylor Reproductions. It was originally designed and custom-built from a standard coupe body with many innovative modifications. Unique body modifications include a removable hardtop, MINI Cooper headlights, concealed flush-mounted taillights and a rotating electric license plate. Finished in Lamborghini Yellow with custom graphics, it sits on Billet Specialties wheels that are 18x7' on the front and 22x10' on the rear. The smooth dash with white-face gauges and center console flow together. A hidden drop panel under the dash houses the ignition, switches, stereo and DVD system. The custom seats, fiberglass door and floor panels are covered in leather, suede and ostrich. The rear trunk matches the interior and has a 24' LCD monitor for the DVD system. The highly detailed engine compartment has many upgrades. It is equipped with a street and performance-built LSI 350ci crate engine with aluminum heads, Flowmaster polished exhaust system, 4L60E automatic transmission and Ford 9' posi-traction rear end with 3.89 gears. Other features include custom suspension, Aldan chromed shocks, full air ride with 6' drop and lift and 4-wheel disc brakes. It has received awards from Goodguys, NSRA, Super Chevy, ESPN2 and DUBS.
