Overview of 1955 Woodwill Wildfire Convertible For Sale by Owner

The 1955 Woodill Wildfire occupies a unique place in American automotive history as the nation’s first production fiberglass sports car, predating many of the specialty fiberglass cars that followed. Created by California entrepreneur Blanchard Woodill, the Wildfire combined lightweight construction with sleek styling and was even featured in several Hollywood films during the 1950s. Today, fewer than 25 examples are believed to survive, making the Wildfire one of the rarest American sports cars in existence. Showing just 408 miles, this professionally build example has been transformed with a Corvette C1/C2 drivetrain, a powerful 396ci big block V8, and numerous performance and cosmetic upgrades. A multiple award-winning build, it also includes a professional car show display sign and a fitted car cover for its next caretaker.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1955 Woodill Wildfire Convertible is finished in striking Competition Yellow and enhanced with the Professional Racing Package, giving the car an unmistakable vintage competition-inspired appearance. The lightweight fiberglass body rides on classic 15-inch Halibrand Salt Flat-style wheels, while the aggressive stance is complemented by Flowmaster dual side-exit exhaust outlets that hint at the performance beneath the hood. Blending 1950s styling with tasteful modern upgrades, this Wildfire is equally at home on the show field or cruising scenic roads. The interior of this 1955 Woodill Wildfire Convertible has been reupholstered and thoughtfully customized to complement the car’s racing-inspired personality. An engine-turned aluminum dashboard creates a period-correct competition aesthetic, while monogrammed bucket seats, a detachable MOMO steering wheel, a quick throw shifter, and an integrated roll bar further reinforce its sporting character. Every detail reflects the craftsmanship behind this award-winning build, creating a cabin that is both functional and visually distinctive.

Engine

Powering this 1955 Woodill Wildfire Convertible is a formidable 396ci big block V8 equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor and backed by a durable Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed automatic transmission. The upgraded Corvette C1/C2 drivetrain significantly enhances both reliability and performance while preserving the lightweight nature of the fiberglass-bodied roadster. Power steering and power front disc brakes provide modern drivability, while the Flowmaster dual side-exit exhaust delivers the unmistakable soundtrack expected from a classic American big block. The result is a remarkably rare sports car that combines historic significance with exhilarating performance and show-winning presentation.
