MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1941 Willys Gasser — 2019 GDF81
Orange paint and the blown engine make the debut Willys hard to miss. The smaller front wheels and tall rear slicks do as much for its character as the color.

GDF81 is the 2019 RLC release. The metal front clip tilts forward to expose more of the engine, while the side lettering and bright metal details give it a period drag-car look.

Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Study the hinge area and the paint where the front clip meets the body. Ask for a closed view to check that the panels sit evenly.
Look at the small front wheels from head-on. A bent axle is easier to see there than in a dramatic three-quarter picture.
Collector questions
Does the front body section open?
Yes. The front clip tilts forward; check its movement gently and inspect the closed fit.
