Notes: One-of-a-kind steel Willys with glass components ran as an AA/FA with blown 400 CID (0.30-over 392) fuel motor set back 25 percent, direct drive and a solid rear end. Fascinating feature in 4/67 Drag Racing magazine details a year of continuing problems sorting out the extremely ill-handling car, miraculously never crashing. Originally finished in '66, but did not complete a full run until '67. Handling issues solved when Chuck Finders talked them into replacing the direct drive with a Torqueflite, and to spring the rear. | John was at Irwindale on July 23 for an eight-car show. The Willys ran well hitting 8.63/170.13 in the first round, to beat Butch Pipins and 9.00/168.85 in the semifinals over Henry Harrison. He faced Bob Walker in the "Super Rat" in the final and his 8.63/170.77 finished second best to Walker's 8.58/172. |

Notes: One-of-a-kind blown fuel altered coupe. Ran 400 cid (0.30-over 392) early hemi. Not a gasser. more a funny car with a vintage Willys body. Evil handling cured when team switched from direct drive and solid rear to Torqueflite and sprung rear during 1967 season. Don Montgomery's "Those Wild Fuel Altereds" says car was retired when owner Bill Henderson switched to a modified roadster in 1968. TWFA cites times of 8.63 and 172.41. Featured in 4/67 issue of Drag Racing. |
