IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A REBIRTH AND SKYROCKETING POPULARITY OF THE '60'S GASSER STYLE CARS. CURRENTLY, GASSER RACING GROUPS ARE FORMING NATIONWIDE. WITH IT'S VAST POPULARITY AND HERALDED HISTORY, THE WILLYS COUPE AGAIN RISES TO THE TOP OF THE CLASS, NOT ONLY IN RACING, BUT IN STREET ROD CIRCLES AS WELL. THERE ARE NOW NUMEROUS FIBERGLASS BODY MANUFACTURERS, AND PREMIUM RESTORED EXAMPLES OF THIS VEHICLE ARE COMMANDING PRICES UP TO AND EXCEEDING $100,000. THESE MANUFACTURERS ARE PROVIDING COLLECTORS AND RACERS WITH THE BODIES TO COMPLETE THEIR BEAUTIFUL RESTORATIONS. THIS IS DUE, OBVIOUSLY, TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW ALL STEEL WILLYS BODIES LEFT TO RESTORE. HERE WE HAVE AN EXTREMELY RARE COLLECTOR CAR- 1940 WILLYS COUPE WITH ALL STEEL BODY, STEEL FLOORS, AND THE BOXED WILLYS FRAME STILL UNDER THE CAR. THE CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN RESTORED- HOWEVER, THIS CLASSIC HAS JUST UNDERGONE A FRESH MINI RESTORATION TO BRING IT UP TO MODERN GASSER TYPE STANDARDS. THESE STEEL STREET RODS WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE IN THE FUTURE. HERE IS A CHANCE TO OWN ONE FOR MUCH LESS THAN $100,000. IT IS PRICED TO SELL NOW. DON'T MISS AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY.
