The Incredible Woodill Wildfire "Buick Fireball Special"

1 day ago | silodrome.com | Ben Branch

This is one of very few surviving examples of the Woodill Wildfire that were bought as kits by the Harry Clark Buick dealership and built by them incorporating many Buick parts – including the 322 cubic inch Buick Fireball V8. As a result of the modifications that were made at the time they were being built, these Harry Clark “Buick Fireball Specials” look quite distinct from the original Woodill Wildfire.

3 days ago | silodrome.com | Ben Branch

This is a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino that was lightly-modified (wink) into a 500 bhp V8-powered apocalyptic battle truck for use in the movie Zombie Killer. While the El Camino is functional and drivable, it’s only rear wheel drive at the moment. It is fitted with a front axle and differential but at the moment it’s not connected and would need a transfer case, front driveshaft, and other parts to get it working.
