  • Looks great Frank! *NM*
  • That's an awesome Combo... *PIC*
    • I believe that's the car he won the Ranchero with. *NM*
      • Yes, last I heard he still had both cars in his stable *NM*
    • Did OGM change that car to the one I've got? *NM*
      • The one you built is somewhere after the 63 Us Nationals. Your's has the SOHC Ford and Ford officials weren't too crazy about the idea of the Ford motor in the Willys...
        • The top chop was the final major alteration, was made after the switch to the Ford engine...
          • The C6 did shift automatically in that car. --Mark...at a reportedly 8800RPM! *NM*
            • The SOHC engine dates to roughly '65 or so
              • Fabricated chassis became legal for the '67 season, but OG may not have known that change was coming...
                • Need to look up that commercial - interesting!
    • Isn't someone making the non-chopped roof in resin? *NM*
      • Yes there are a couple different resin caster are doing the standard roof Willys, which to my eye is much cooler!
  • Winning combo. I wonder if the real Ranchero survives? *NM* *PIC*
    • I had heard that he still has it. Barry Payne may know for sure. *NM*
    • Last I heard he still has it *NM*
    • It was auctioned off a few years back, buyer later had a "reversal of fortune" and George bought it back for about half of what it sold for. Probably the lowest miles original '60 in existence *NM*
      • Thanks Mark. *NM*
  • That's a winning Combo for sure. Nice job. Better buy a sheet of Autolite decals. lol *NM*
  • Nice!! *NM*
  • Looking Good Frank Nice builds!!! *NM*
  • Good stuff Frank! I have that Ranchero kit too but it's still unbuilt for now. *NM*
