    6,021 were made and very few are still around and serviceable. Value doesn't even come close to a comparable SS Impala 409 but the Wildcat is a better built car and a good investment.

    That's a nice looking car. The 63's are my favorit year of Wildcat. My Uncle had a triple black one. He lived in Ohio. I remember the speed alert and 4-speed. I lost count of the car,but I would love to find it.

    Hi All,
    Is the '63 Wildcat better for style or mechanicals?
    I have a '64 LeSabre with the 300 V8. I was going to use the frame and running gear for another project, but may be able to use a '63 Wildcat frame that had a 401 in it. I would put my 300 engine and trans. in; would it work with the Wildcat (hydroflow) rear end? Would the hydroflow work fit on the 300?
    What would the difference be between these two frames, and the suspension/brekes etc.?
    Were there inprovements? I heard of a difference in the rear.. sway bar?
    'Scuse the barrage; Thanks,
    Rick
    (any links for info?)
