~ Ron Rinauro's 33 Willys Gasser ~


Hi Byron, my name is Mark Spencer and I recently purchased Ron Rinauro's old 33 Willys gasser (September 2002).  I emailed photos and info back in November but I think they may have been lost when your system crashed. So I thought I would give it another shot. The original car was mentioned in Don Montgomery's SUPERCHARGED GAS COUPES on page 104 and a photo appears on page 127.  The car ran a best of 8.79 at 161.3mph.  I purchased it from John Ihloff,  Long Beach, Ca.  I have been working on it every day since I got it back to my shop in Belleville N.J. The body, doors, trunk and running boards are steel and absolutely perfect and rust free!
I have attached some original and current photos in the hope they can be displayed on you're incredible web site. I am also interested in hearing from anyone who may have info on the history of the car or how I might be able to contact Ron.
A brief overview of the car as it sits is as follows:

-Blown 392
-Full manual 727/3200 convertor (built by me)
-Halibrand quickchange
-Halibrand spindle mounts
-15x12 E.T.s
-Original window crank mechanisms
-Original grill @ window garnish moldings
-Full roll cage
-Custom tin work in trunk and interior
Thanks for taking the time to look
