'41 WILLYS 2dr Coupe Streetrod
This is the final result of a 2 year build, all
overseen and hands on by the owner personally as being built by
"Vanderbeck Race Cars" of Salem Oregon. Retaining the basic body characteristics of a 71 year old classic, it features virtually all the options that you would find in a modern high performance car.
