~ Restoration of Jack Merkel's last Willys ~

~ Latest Update ~


This is Jack Merkel's last Willys, it has been in storage for 33 years on Long Island. The car has just been sold and a full restoration has been started.  The car is untouched since 1969.  The drive train was removed in 69.  The new owner is searching for a period correct Hilborn injector and 6-71 supercharger.  A Micky Thompson BBC blower manifold is also greatly needed.  Jack Merkel has been very helpful with his endless knowledge of this car and gassers in general.  Vinny

Car was also shown at NY Coliseum in 1967 and 1968.  If you went to the show check your old photos and see if it's there.

Also looking for any photos, particularly of the engine and the interior.  Send to me at Gasser Madness and place "Vinny" in the subject line, and I'll see that the new owner gets them.  Byron
