    here is my first car i have owed. i bought it off of one of my relatives for $800. it was in real bad condition. it had rust all over it and the engine had a bad intake gasket and it had 4 cracked piston. this car has been in my family since it was new. i have out all my money in it just to restore it to the point i got to it now. i want to know the truth about what people think about it. so people tell me

    My first car was a 67 Lesabre 4 door, which is almost exactly the car you have. I had the 340 4 bbl, and even that was a fast car. Do you have the 430?

    Thats Nice! I dig the interior on that car. I had a '68 Lesabre 4-door hardtop @ college that was my greandma's low mileage car. Buick 350; 4-bbl tire smoking monster :TU:

    Welcome and good luck!

    Oh yeah, the 430 was the standard for Wildcats. WHere are you in KY? My girlfriend and I are headed down to Mt. Vernon/ Somerset area tonight. Seems like any free weekend we are tooling around looking for or exploring caves. Ted

    Congrats on the purchase! Make sure you keep premium fuel in the tank and keep your ears open for the dreaded "spark knock" (detonation).

    Should be a fun car for years to come!

    My first car was a 68 Wildcat Custom 4 door hardtop, I really liked it! And I like the 67 even better.
    These are my favourite 4 door hardtops.

    Nice ride, Love the interior, and the 430 torque gotta love it. I think a set of factory road wheels would make it look awesome. just my $.02, all in all still a cool ride.

    ok i know that this might be the wrong place to post it up at. b/c i was gonna post it up here befor i post it for sale. what do you think the asking price that i should sell it for? right now i am thinking about $4000. b/c i am the 3 rd. owner and it has been with my family the whole time. it has 72000 original mile and about 1500 miles of it is on a rebuilt motor. i have practically restored it. so any body has a good asking price for it?

    Looks real tempting for $4k.
    Is that the original paint? White?
    White and black int. always looks good.
