I had this listed on craiglists, but have decided to list it here also. very strong and reliable motor, would make most trips home if needed. I don't want to get rid of this but i need the money. Ad listed below with price of $5000. make offers. I have a 1963 Buick Wildcat for sale. It has 163xxx miles on it with a 401 Nailhead V8. All original engine, valve covers have never been removed, powerglide transmission that is also un-rebuilt. I drive this car 50 miles daily every other week, and have not had any problems except for replacing the radiator in the last year and half I have owned it. The paint is original two tone black body with red roof and the interior is also original. I have the window sticker and believe I am the third owner of it. This is a daily driver!! But as far as classic cars go, it’s about a 20 footer. There is some body rust on it but no major problems, only a little at the wheel wells and some around a few trim pieces. Everything works as it should except for the heat and A/C. The heater core was bad and I never replaced it but everything is there and intact. Also the clock in the dash doesn’t work but everything else in the dash does. the original tachometer in the center console also works. The driver’s seat is in need of repair and the floor pans also need to be replaced. The paint is very faded and there is only one place where any bondo was done and that is at the rear driver’s side fender. It seems to be an older repair as the paint is faded evenly. All the chrome is there and except for the taillights, nothing is pitted. The factory radio is not in the car but one is provided. It has dual flowmasters on it, from the previous owner. This is one of the most original daily driver cars you will find and it was the first year for the wildcat model. Now the fun part. I LOVE this car and don’t want to get rid of it. But I don’t have a place to store it and no money or time to fix it up like I want. I have no problem driving it until it falls apart but that would kill me to watch. I would feel confident driving this anywhere but recommend trailering it because it is an old car. But I enjoy driving it and everyone smiles when they see it and I get all kinds of compliments on it. Price is kind of hard to determine because there isn’t a lot of them out there. From some of the research I’ve done this is a fair price and probably too cheap for what it is and the condition. Not looking for a trade unless it includes at least $3500 cash and a daily driver. Please contact me at gandtdevoe @ hotmail.com for any pictures you want and I’ll get them taken and email them to you.
ok, almost 100 views and no replies. ou: i have some pics available, just let me know. open to offers and can get pics you need within a day. i would feel comfortable driving this anywhere.
I'd suggest posting the general pictures up. The basic side on, front, rear, engine, interior, and dash pictures. I've seen your single picture on craigslist and this is something that should sell here. I wish I could afford it now for my soon to be spare 425 but I've already got too many irons in the fire.
thanks. i can't post pics because my post count isn't high enough. i don't really get online a lot, mostly i post over at olskoolrodz. i want to make my buick more of a custom cruiser but as said before, no time, money or room. i recently bought a house and am trying to get that together so that's also a reason. i have pics to send and can get any pics you want within a day so feel free to contact me.
finally! sorry for the delay! with all the rain we got last weekend i wasn't able to get any pics until sat. below is the link to my photobucket album. as i mention before this is all original and does have some body rust. i feel confident driving this anywhere and welcome offers. thanks! :TU: http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj225/smartass_kid/
Bttt bump to the top... ordered a set of rims today so that is taken care of. let me know about any offers or more pictures needed. price still the same: $5000 obo.
That looks pretty good. I've always considered getting a Wildcat but I also don't have the room (or the money). Free bump for you. -mark
hmmm... A/C. buckets. wow console with tach. What a kewl car to restore! Wish I had some extra spending $$$. Did I miss something or just where is this car located in West Tn? o No: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
thanks for the comments! it is located in Milan, TN small town a couple of hours from everywhere. i do love it alot, but i dont' have the time or money to work on it. i would also like to get new windows and build a garage on my house. willing to do partial trade? let me know what you got, just need some cash in hand. also, someone had told me that the grill wasn't original. i didn't know the difference. either way it all looks good together.
still for sale, no offers yet. price was to include new astro supremes wheels and tires. can drop to $4000, without them. a set will be provided but wouldn't recommend driving far with those rims, because the lugnut holes have wallowed out. let me know if you are interested! thanks
take it up to bowling green next week and put a for sale sign in it a whole lot of us buick folks will be there. scott
thanks for the tip, but I won't be able to make it because I already have plans. since I'm not getting a lot of response I'll probaly hang on to it anyways.
