But the seller might be.

It's a couple of hours drive for me, but I may go look at it just to see if it has a 55 Vette frame, etc. I know I've seen that body before, but can't remember who made it.

This could get interesting.

If it is anything American, 50's, and fiberglass, it's interesting.

I think that's 1/6 Pininfarina bodied Vettes. That sucker could be worth $$$$$!

That's along the lines of what I'm thinking.

Maybe a Glasspar?

It's a Kellison, a Fiberfab, or a Woodill Wildfire.

I think you mast be correct.

Like the Glasspar, designed by Bill Tritt, the father of fiberglass boats and to a somewhat lesser extent, fiberglass cars. Had a role in the early design of the Corvette, as written up at the Corvette Museum.

Only a small handful of Wildfires remain today.
