Does it have that flat-head 4-cyl Willys engine?

Honestly I'm not sure. From the reading I've done they had problems early with the 4 cyl engines and quickly switched over to 2. So my guess is no.

Go over to jalopnik.com and see if you can talk with a guy by the name of David Tracy.


He seems to know a bit about old Jeeps.

Thanks. I've found a couple of websites that are based around them. I guess they have a big show in Ohio every year. Would be cool to make it out there sometime.

Traction control is a good thing.

Some of you may not have seen this deleted scene. It suggests to source of the Bluesmobile's magical powers.
Always thought it would be fun to have an authentic looking replica with a killer EFI 440.

Just realized about all the notable actors from this film are dead except for Dan Akroyd and Aretha Franklin.

If you notice during the chase through the mall, the Bluesmobile has one burned out headlight.
When they come crashing out of the mall, both headlights are working.

I took care of it between takes.

Jose had a C6, and he nearly came to grief with it on wet pavement. They are notoriously squirrelly in low traction.

I was more impressed with the 56 Chevy Gasser the Garage Squad built up the other day. Maybe because my 56 was one of my favorite cars when I was growing up.

It appears my neighbor has replaced his SRT8 Challenger with a Hellcat.
