What year Wildcat is your favorite? The sequel

I got 13-14 with my dual quad convertible on a trip to Buffalo. Mileage on the way back was better since Carmen did a little tuning before I left Buffalo. This car weighs 4900 lbs...lots of power accessories!

 

Thanks for the replys. I guess the FUN factor out ways the mpg thing.
If I can unload my belly button car :boring: ( 67 Malibu) I'll look for a 65-66 Cat htp.:TU:

 

I just found another '65 Wildcat 4 door with canadian trim on you tube. It'S got a Quebec license plate and the comments are in French, so I guess it's not very far away!

Watch the burnout video! I don't think I'd do that with mine!

Yeah! I don't think I'll be doing that with mine either. I wonder if they made it home on those tires. :3gears:

Not a chance with my Boat...those guys are idiots and shouldn't even have a car like that. Oh...great &^%)*# paint job too..:rant:

 

I am partial to the 63. The first year for the Wildcat series.

 

Since I sold my '70, '63 has become my new favorite!

Thats a beautiful Cat. Black shows class :TU: A question Regarding the Rallys. They look like a newer style. Did you use spacers to clear the hub? I have 66-70 wheels on mine with register ring and had to put a 3/16th spacer to fit over the hub. I just picked up a set of 64 wheels with nice caps but one needs a rechrome. which I need help finding a chrome plater.
Keep up the nice work
Gary

 

Thanks Gary. There are no spacers, and the wheels are perfect. I have 245/60/15 tires on it.

Here are a couple of shots of the inside:

 

You know that those rings come off and then they fit fine. That's what I did on my 64 Cat Convert that looks just like yours.

 

I thought of that also, I was afraid they may warp or discolor if I had them torched off. And I tried to knock them off, solid weld wouldnt budge. Any Pics of your Convert on the site? :TU:

And Frank That interior looks rich. What year wheels are yours?

And I appreciate all the info Thanks Gary

 

I think my wheels are 2 from the early 70's and 2 from the late 70's.

 

'64's are cool:

hard to choose between a 67 and a 68 2dr....... Due to the hidden wipers the 68 has got a small + compared to the 67.... but than the 67 grille; beautiful....

In (ghost town) Two Guns, AZ I made this photo in front of a suitable building for a Wildcat:
