1961 Custom Thunderbird on S. Lamar

Written by Ken Altes

Wonderful wheels and paint. Hard to know how extensive the modifications are but it does have front disc brakes. The first year of the third generation T-bird, the 1961 was powered by a 390 cu. in V8 and was the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. 1961 Thunderbird Custom in Austin TX emblem 1961 Thunderbird Custom in Austin TX front paint1961 Thunderbird Custom in Austin TX front quarter 1961 Thunderbird Custom in Austin TX front 1961 Thunderbird Custom in Austin TX rear quarter

Reader Submission: 1961 Willys Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan at DIY Shop in N. Austin

Written by Ken Altes

Mark sent these interesting pics. I posted this same van behind a business in East Austin about two years ago. Powered by the F-134 Hurricane engine, giving about 75 hp, and also used in a bunch of Jeep models. Right hand drive for mail delivery. Specs for van here.

The “Loyal Austin DIY Shop” is near IH-35 and TX-45. A wide range of interesting car owners take advantage of the lifts and tools there to repair and modify their rides. One great service is the mobile dyno every 3rd Saturday afternoon, $65 for two “pulls.”  Thanks, Mark.1961 Willys jeep van at DIYatx.com in Austin TX 1961 Willys jeep van at DIYatx.com side view     FleetvanDJ 1961 Willys jeep van at DIYatx.com sign DIYatx.comJeep Hurricane EngineJeep FJ-3 Fleetvan AD
