The Legendary 1933 Willys Gasser – Authentic "F-Troop" Prock & Howell

Own an immortal piece of drag racing history. This is the original, fully restored 1933 Willys "F-Troop" Gasser, originally built and campaigned by the iconic duo of Tom Prock and Jay Howell. Famed as the ultimate "outlaw gasser," this exact car pushed the boundaries of drag racing design when the team paired a 1933 Willys body with a cutting-edge Logghe funny car chassis. Deemed "too radical" and illegal for standard NHRA gas classes, the team threw in a nitro-burning 426 Hemi and toured the country as crowd-pleasing outlaws, running wild into the 180 mph range.

This vehicle has been meticulously and beautifully restored to its absolute peak, period-correct running condition.
