    There is a 66 wildcat coupe at Kelseyville
    Auto wreckers in Kelseyville California.
    Looked to be in decent condition.
    I don’t have any pics, but will check into it if your interested?

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    That's a bit of a commute to go and get that!
    249,000 Krona... US $ 23,205.61, or $31,907.20 CDN....Too rich for my blood. Not a bad price if the car is as good as it looks.
    That's the same colour my car was originally; - not a fan. I like the maroon better. At least this one has the black interior. Cycling through the pictures, it looks like it was well kept and cared for.
    Too bad you don't want a convertible; - I might know of one for sale at 1/2 that price right now. ;)

    It looks like they have a nice 60 Electra in Gothenburg for the same amount of money;- a little spartan on options, but it isn't a bad deal for one of those. Shipping, yeah, that might get a bit rich depending on where it ends up. For someone like me it would have to come to the west coast, through the Panama Canal and knowing how old Buicks react to salty air and water, it would probably be in some stage of disintegration by the time it landed. :D

    Yeah 28 is a little excessive for this car. But yeah they are harder to find even though they're not the most "desirable". Its my favorite car, but I also have to stay in touch with reality.

    I've been trying to locate this car. It was posted about 6 years ago at the Don Laughlin Museum. Maybe someone here knows the owner.

    Sorry about over posting the screen shots. Idk what happened there. But I'd be willing to go 25000 for a really nice one and should have AC for that amount in my opinion.

    I know what you mean by "owner states". My last 66 i bought they stated all original, but almost none of it was. It was even from a dealership. I even called them out on it and they jus acted like they didn't know anything about cars. A lot of crooks out there. But yes I'll be doing alot more research before traveling far to spend that amount of money.

    I don't think it sold for 23000. When you click on the classic cars.com link in the add it says 19000 obo. But yeah, everything only gets more expensive.

    I cant get a hold of the guy in Atlanta with the black electra. Might be a scam.

    If its not a scam, I jus don't get why people even bother posting anything for sale if they're not going to respond.
