The Woodill Wildfire (1952-1958) occupies a unique place in American automotive history as the nation's first production fiberglass sports car, predating the Chevrolet Corvette. 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.

This 1963 Pontiac Catalina Convertible captures the full-size style and open-air cruising character that defined Pontiac in the early 1960s. Showing approximately 96,739 miles, this example is finished in Burgundy Red over a Burgundy and White leather interior and topped with a white convertible soft top. Under the hood is a 454ci V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor and paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes add welcome usability, while the factory-style instrumentation, Pontiac heater system, chrome trim, and Pontiac wheel covers help preserve the car’s period presentation.
The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from the heart of the C2 era, when the Corvette had already matured into a genuinely serious American sports car without losing the raw character that made the Sting Ray famous. This example leans heavily into that character. Showing 19,053 miles, it pairs a 327ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and a four-speed manual transmission, then adds the kind of period-style attitude enthusiasts gravitate toward: side-mount exhaust, knock-off-style turbine wheels, and a vivid Sunfire Yellow finish over a black interior. The current owner reports more than $83,000 invested into the build, with attention extending beyond cosmetics into the cooling system, ignition components, timing hardware, and other supporting mechanical upgrades. What makes this car appealing is that it still delivers the classic C2 experience in the way enthusiasts want it: small-block V8 up front, manual gearbox in the middle, drive going to the rear, and very little standing between the driver and the car. The side pipes give the Corvette a more aggressive presence and soundtrack, while the custom paint and wheel setup emphasize the long-hood, short-deck proportions that made the midyear Corvette one of Chevrolet’s most iconic designs.
The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible sits at the heart of the early C3 era, pairing dramatic styling with the kind of mechanical specification that made these cars so memorable. Showing approximately 5,672 miles, this example is finished in Monza Red over a Black interior and is equipped with the desirable L46 350ci V8 rated at 350 horsepower. A 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear axle keep the driving experience firmly enthusiast-focused, while power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes add useful road manners. Chrome Rally wheels, a black convertible soft top, and the unmistakable Stingray bodywork give the exterior its period-correct presence, while the cabin retains the classic twin-cowl dash, center console, and auxiliary gauge layout. An aftermarket steering wheel, manual shifter, air cleaner, and JVC audio head unit add a handful of personalized touches without taking away from the car’s classic Corvette character.
