gotta be one of the all time famous EAST COAST willys of all time.. Ken Kull restored this car recently. here is an old quote from 1967 Quote:
This is a letter of apology to all those fine AA/GS cars from the West Coast. My brother, Bill, and myself are embarrassed and ashamed of ourselves for the way we USED you boys. Taking such a fine name as Kohler Bros. and grinding their names in the asphalt. By blowing their doors in at six, yes, six different strips, week after week after week. Not to mention poor Ray Cook, of the famous Stone, Woods & Cook team. He took up leaving on the second yellow, even though we were embarrassed to tears, Pete Hill drove by on the other end. Imagine the shame we put him through. Ron Mondello, of Shores & Hess, flew his engine builder from Hawaii, to Raceway Park, New Jersey with a new Rat Motor. After beating him two straight in Connecticut the Sunday before, this was his chance (Quote Drag News: "Shores & Hess were no match for the Hill Bros.). Think of the red faces and embarrassment when once again, Pete Hill soundly and firmly blew the trick Anglia away. Think of the torment and sleepless nights, Jack "The Bear" Coonrod suffered after soundly defeating him on five occasions, two of those times his driver was so beside himself, he couldn't find the parachute ring and ran off the end of the strip! Perhaps he was just trying too hard. Now, they're going West where they can hide their heads and tell their friends and families, "East Coast strips are bad and that's why Hill Bros. did this thing to them." Perhaps they will all build Funny Cars like George, that's what he did to escape a terrifying gasser. But, before you resort to anything as foolish as that, we want to show our apologies by coming to the West Coast on November 1, where, on your strip there will be no excuses, like Ray Kohler's "missed a shift," or Ray Cook's "no bite," or that old favorite of Ron Mondello's "wrong jet." What will Big John Mazmanian and Junior Thompson use for excuses?? Again, gentlemen, we are embarrassed to tears the way we USED you up!
Signed: HILL BROS. Cleveland, Ohio Dated: October 7, 1967
