Description:

This is a street/strip car built in the true 60's gasser style. Runs and drives great. You can have fun driving it around town and then take it to the drag strip and pull a few wheelies. This is a solid car with no surprises. The complete build is well documented on the H.A.M.B. in a 13 part detailed build thread. Search for Nasty Habit Willys. Enjoy it as is or paint it and make it your dream car. Numerous magazine features including Rod & Kulture, NZ Hot Rod Magazine and Powerglide magazine.​
