This 1941 Willys Americar features an all-steel body and is completely custom. Powering this Willys is a 540ci V8 engine topped with an 8:71 BDS supercharger with Hilborn fuel-injection and a Holley ECU. The big-block Chevy's internals are comprised of a forged crankshaft, 8.1:1 forged J.E. pistons, SCAT H-beam connecting rods and a COMP Cams camshaft. The cylinder heads are from Canfield and feature bronze guides, as well as Crower Enduro rocker arms and ARP studs. Additional features include a Melling high-volume oil pump, Edelbrock polished aluminum timing cover, fabricated valve covers and performance serpentine pulley system.

A Be Cool aluminum radiator with a 1000hp rating works with two 13-inch SPAL fans and Meziere Enterprises electric water pump to keep the engine at optimal temperatures. Exhaust flows through a ceramic-coated 4-inch setup. Power is routed through a Turbo 400 automatic transmission with a B&M Shifter, manual valve body and 2,500 stall converter. Additional driveline components include a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end, Detroit Locker with 4.11 gears, Strange 31-spline axles and 1.562-inch axle bearings. The Willys rides on an Art Morrison 2x4 profile frame that features tubular crossmembers as well as a mandrel-bent round tub and drop-out transmission mount.

For suspension the custom Willys features Aldan American coilovers, an independent front suspension with tubular upper and lower control arms, Mustang II 2-inch drop spindles and Mustang II tie rod ends that have been narrowed and chromed. The rear suspension features fully adjustable QA1 coilovers and a 4-link rear with polished stainless poly rod ends. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood disc brakes located at all four corners. Inside amenities include all-leather upholstery, Vintage Air climate control, power windows, Kenwood monitor with DVD receiver and Dakota Digital AM/FM electric antenna.
