3-speed column shifter, just picked it up from Knoxville! Its just so rare and weird; close and priced right. The guy is worried he would see it on ebay for big $$$, he does not know me well! Any Wildcat with a clutch pedal is stuck in my garage FOrEVer :laugh: No power steering or brakes, one wee belt, a/m radio. I have to see if it has reverse lights, as that was an option! More pics later.
Last night the car would not run at all, it would start but seemed like it was only going on 6/8 cylinders. So I put a (carmen) carb on and cleaned the spark plugs and it fired up Way Better! So my buddy Doug and I got in and rode up and down the street! It runs strong, pulls great. I am all smiles tonight very little rust- amazing qtrs, bad paint though. Hmmmm-very dirty windows! Its got the original 8.45 blackwall spare still :TU:
You chump! What's left from the possible combinations available for the '65 Wildcat line that cannot be found in the Taj-Ma-Garage? I think we're getting down to the experimental stuff now.....and I know there's some experimental stuff in there already! I'm guessing this is the one that was being discussed on the yahoo nailhead group? Rick
That has to be a rare car! You guys are right, a three pedal Wildcat is neet, and a three on the tree yet. You are on my hero list Ted. Congrats:beer
Yep, thats the one. Bill (seller) is into nailheads, bought the car for the engine and had offers on the body for a BBC transplant. Luckily he figured the car was cool as is and offered it up for sale. Only thing lacking in the Taj-Ma Garage is an experimental Turbo Nailhead :Brow: One of my heroes in the Buick world was Larry Miller, who had a garage full of amazing 67 GS cars. I saw his collection and thought I could do that with Wildcats...3-speeds, 4-speeds, autos, convertibles and hardtops. Anyway, its fun when they run! :3gears:
Hey Ted youv'e done it again, that is so cool. I will have to have a Tui :beers2: or two for you. I am off to the Beach Hop in a few weeks, I will send you a t-shirt. :beers2: :beers2:
You took the "another" right out of my mouth. One wonders if there is a "Nagel-Area 51" in a dry rust free desert somewhere.
Seems like the RARE ones with 3 pedals are coming out this week. :3gears: Look at this one: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=172171
