Buying My Dads Car That He Sold 25 YEARS AGO! 1941 Willys Coupe Big Block Chevy 671 BLOWER! HOT ROD!

[@mustanggarland24]

The wheelies is my dream car if I can have any car in the world it would be that one!

[@Sleeperdude]

Very cool car

[@billdedrick1914]

Yes Newport is about 20 minutes south of where I live...I have seen that car on several occasions..The paint is stunning along with the stance and the narrowed rear with the huge M/T tires.

[@yarrdayarrdayarrda]

That Mallory coil is period correct for sure!

[@willreichert6973]

Congrat. On that buitiful. 41 hot rod. Cars. Like that. Are. The definition. Of a hot rod. Great. Job .love. It

[@PCgonerogue820]

It's very cool that you found and bought the Willys that your dad owned when you were a kid .

[@drew7767]

that is a cool story, congrats!

[@jimrains8314]

Osceola was the 1st strip I raced on. I remember it well. My first race was against a brush painted blue 60 falcon with a brushed red inside. It sounded like crap and I was afraid it would leave parts after the green light. Green light came and that guy was gone. He was shut down before I was half way down the track. So cool that you got your dad's car back.

[@NoPrivateProperty]

this is one of my favorite channels! fun to watch you crazy kids. be safe

[@HorsepowerDepot]

Thanks!

[@dgiorgi1725]

Great video on the 41 Willy's can't wait to see it on the dyne and at the drags.

[@MattC-ly9lr]

That’s cool you found it and it still looks great 👍

[@patofdubois1]

Awesome story!!!

[@jesusdiaz1498]

Wow is a dream Toy 🔧🥴

[@danmyers9372]

Dual Dominators on a 6-71. I can only imagine how many gallons per mile this things gets. Of course the most important thing is the number of smiles per gallon! Cool car, I have always liked the Willys, takes me back to the ‘60’s gassers! Coolest class ever!

[@HorsepowerDepot]

60s gassers are so awesome! We found a steel 40 Willy’s a few months ago. The plan is to build a 60s style drag car. One of the way too many project cars we have lol!

[@danmyers9372]

That’s awesome Jordan. Go for it!

[@vanlarson9213]

Super nice Willy's a big 👍

[@rehn1kri]

Super cool! Love the story. For me, the car was my dad’s 67 Goodwood Green 327/350 Corvette Roadster, which he had to sell in 1986 because of their divorce. Seeing your Goodwood coupe always makes me think of growing up, and my dad, who passed in 2003.

[@jamesstead1496]

Always nice to see a Will'y's with a BBC!! Reminds me of Kirkum's Willy' s he built years ago and had a blast building. You guys Rock !!

[@vrg69]

cool car glad y'all was able to get it back

[@timothyhaywood6621]

Nice to have the car back in the fleet!

[@chich2744]

Good luck with the Willys

[@snakeyhedger]

Glad you got it back! That's not fake leather, it's pleather.

[@keithphillips6111]

Congratulations and that's awesome!!!!! I'm 48 so I love it!!! That's what I think a real street rod should be,and don't change the wheels !!!! Please keep us informed and more videos on that badass hot rod!!!!! Btw,your right that original steering wheel screams Boyd Coddington!!!!

[@HorsepowerDepot]

We will keep posting videos about it. The car will make a pass down the drag strip next year!

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Really cool you were able to hunt it down. Could probably get a locksmith to match the ignition to the OG keys for nostalgia's sake.

[@jeremymcnicol9585]

Definitely worth trying

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

@@jeremymcnicol9585 Yep.

[@derrickgeltmaker6127]

Another Awesome Video Guys !!!! Love it ...

[@vrm86gt]

love those old Willy's hot rods!

[@yesode4201]

Back when 650hp was radical! Anyway to get adopted?

[@davidresar8256]

Very cool!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

CONGRATS ON FINALLY BUYING THIS BEAUTY BACK!!! I can easily see why you were SO upset when your dad sold it all those years ago. I felt the same why back when I was 13, and my dad sold our '57 wagon. It wasn't a 2-door Nomad, but still, it had a new paint job and totally rebuilt small block with a 3 speed manual in the floor. All of my little buddies loved that car too. We would hang out ( loitering ) at the corner convenience store, and every time dad would happen along, pull up to that red light, all of us would yell at him to kick it. Most times, he would. It would burn out & chirp 2nd gear. My friends thought I had "the coolest dad in the world"......LOL. No speed demon, but a really fun ride. Those were the days.

[@gregblack4581]

Are the wheels out of style ? I’m a old guy and would still buy those wheels. Love them . Love Willy’s as well .

[@edfrawley4356]

So cool to get your dads old car back. I have fond memories of the 40 Willy's from the CAR-Toons comic books. If the toon Willys was in motion the front wheels where in the air and flames were flying out the zoomies with clouds of tire smoke pouring off the rear tires. Looking forward to seeing both the work you guys put into this car as well as the payoff runs down the 1/4.

[@jackstone904]

Glad you found it and got it back where it belongs! It looks just like it did. I was thinking it was 468ci.

[@linnrandy1677]

hello Horsepower dept. wow that is one cool old car. I loved these cars forever. So cool you got it back. Do you have any pics of your dads 68 Camaro?

[@HorsepowerDepot]

I’d have to look. I’m sure there’s some somewhere.

[@linnrandy1677]

@@HorsepowerDepot thank you. perhaps if you still have it you could do an episode on it? thanks again . love your channel

[@billdedrick1914]

I have seen that car on the streets a year or two ago....I live south of Detroit...What town in Michigan did it come from? I believe i saw it in the annual downriver car cruise which is held that last Saturday in June.

[@HorsepowerDepot]

It came from Newport Michigan. I’m not exactly sure when it made its way back to Michigan. Was sold at a classic car dealer around the same area last year.

[@curtismuma1931]

Very cool car ! What do you do for money? Seam to have plenty.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

In a past video he mentioned his family's car dealership but I think he moonlights as a Chippendale dancer.

[@edwardwood3622]

Is that only a 671?

[@jessegriffin8457]

Awesome story glad you got it back 💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jeremymcnicol9585]

👍

[@Ls6racer]

Cool! Did grandpa paint it back then? Be careful driving that thing- it looks unpredictable lol 😵😵

[@HorsepowerDepot]

He actually didn’t. One of just a few that he didn’t paint.

[@jsh3234]

The wheels are perfect for that car. I'd say they need to stay.

[@g.o.b.2558]

Have a locksmith change the pins in the locks so that they will accept the original keys.

[@pameladunn7346]

a dream come true ... hope you put a stick shift in it (as talented as you are ) bang'n gears " H A P P Y" your happy , and you deserve it 😃

[@laryedus]

Its Will-is, not Will-ez

[@gteefxr3094]

Not "dated" other than the steering column and both steering wheels, valve covers etc. Love this channel, but I'd rather watch racing info which is your forte.🙂👍

[@gteefxr3094]

Yeah, Ryan, the "king of speed".🙄
