    Worth a look.. Have never seen an A/C compressor switch on the left side of the dash away from the A/C heater controls. Loaded G.M. brass car.

    Let me rephrase, I have never seen an A/C switch in that location until this video.

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    Wow, that thing is unique!
    So now starts the debate, is it worth preserving or should it be restored to as it was when it rolled off the factory floor?
    It is nice to see one out and driving, and the owner isn't afraid to step into it a bit. From my standpoint, it's also refreshing to see that he has about 151,000 on an original engine, my 430 is at 134,000 and still going strong too.
    Thanks for sharing that video Gary!

    No problem Marc, did you notice the 67 trunk lid Wildcat script? Exact opposite to your 67 Wildcat with a 68 trunk lid.

    I have a '68 coupe. 1 of 2. red, white interior white vinyl roof. Has 22K today. AM/FM Delco stereo, pwr. seats, windows, cruise, pwr. antenna, P/S, Disc brakes, trunk release, bench, auto on column, cornering lights & others I can't remember at the moment.
    But SORRY NOT FOR SALE. I've had it since'77. Went to the Buick dealer with my best friend's mom to order it back in '67.

    Out of curiosity, what makes your car 1 of 2?
    I can appreciate why it's not for sale, but can you share a picture?

    In 1969 there was a bank robbery in Dallas, Tx. And the car described & later identified as a Red '68 Buick Wildcat with a White top & White interior. The FBI felt it was an oddball combo so they went to Buick & found there were only two optioned that way. One being my friend's mothers car. The FBI came to her house in Ct. UN-anousted & wanted to inspect the vehicle, which she allowed them to do. They thanked her for her time & appreciated her letting them look at it & told her the reasons. She stated she was quite nervous at 1st. & then re leaved that HER car wasn't the one involved in the bank robbery which she knew couldn't have been since it's ALWAYS parked in her secure garage.
    This is also what my friend told me. Absolute truth I couldn't tell you, BUT this is what I was told.
