Woody Woodill was the Downey CA ****** dealer. He bought fiberglass bodies from Glasspar, mounted them on 1952 ****** Aero chassis, spare tire located in Continental kit that was affixed to the decklid, called them the Woodill Wildfire. Only 15 were made, very few exist today.

Idiots bought one of the few remaining, removed the Continental kit because they didn't like it! Now the rear bumper didn't fit correctly, so they cut and modified it with a torch.

Idiots bought a 1950 Olds 88 Club Coupe, a rare and very desirable car. Pulled the original Olds engine/Hydra-Matic, replaced with Chevy parts.

Idiots bought a nice all original 1971 Chevy Kingswood station wagon, by the time they finished with it, it wasn't original. Swapped the engine/trans, added a bunch of gee-gaws that only the cluck in Alabama would want.

Another thrashed POS, needs only "minor" bodywork...after everything else is replaced.

Lotsa luck getting rid of the mildew smell, 'standard equipment' in 1962/64 ragtops.

1975: I bought a similar blue 1963 Galaxie 500XL ragtop from the original Santa Monica owner for 500 bucks, except it had a 406 and 4 speed.

It was a typical 'beach car' .. all the chrome was pitted due to the salty marine layer that wafts in overnight from the ocean.

There is mostly the uninformed and the idiot selling cars on CL or ebay.

Im always looking for a F100 that is nicer than mine. I see trucks that need everything all the time. The uninformed don't understand how much money and labor it takes to make these trucks a nice looking, good running, safe DD. The idiot knows, he is just on a fishing trip.
