65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT

[442w30]

I don't go for this 1 of 1 crap . . . According to my info, a '64 Wildcat convertible with 2x4 and a 4-speed is 1 of 53.

I believe the seller of the 64 on the classycars site is claiming "one of two left", how he knows what happened to the other 51 I do not know, nor do I care to speculate. I am only trying to gather info on this 65 to determine its value and possibly find it a new home when a selling price can be determined. Thanks for your help and the data.



442w30 you have a PM

2-4 cars only had one wing nut...but on a Buick it was a knurled acorn looking thing...

thanks Bob, I see the curled acorn thingie, but the setup on the intake leaves me guessing. Is this "cross ram" style, side by side or what? It dosent appear to be much room up there considering the amount of exposed manifold.

[Belair62]

straight line front to back...no crossram for the ole nail ead. If it says Super Wildcat 465 on the cleaner its a 2-4 but I guess once you see it you can confirm...I dont think they called a single 4 Super...can't remember. Been away from Buick a long time.

You could try this forum. There's a few guys on there that have them.

(can you believe Buick has their own site?, man this internet thing is wild!! Thanks Algore!)

[Belair62]

Its definitely 2/4...I can see the front AFB base and that air cleaner will ONLY come on 2/4. VIN will tell you if its a Wildcat Custom or Wildcat . There will be a 6 instead of 5 in the VIN denoting the higher lever Custom.

[Belair62]

Just looked at the trim tag...it is a Wildcat Custom..I also noticed someone remover the tag and pop riveted it back on...the 2L probably means 4 speed...the color is called Verde Green

I was about to say ahhhhhhh...Verde'
but after checking for replies to my post on the Buick site;

I am getting out the ten foot pole on this car.

Thanks to all those BUICK guys that had info on this car and took the time to get me informed.
