    Beautful Buick convertible-one of my childhood friend’s mom drove a Buick Wildcat hardtop (I think it was a ‘68) in metallic blue-it was a beautiful car and so smooth and comfortable going down the road-as a kid in grade school it was a striking memory and so different from the Plymouth Fury II my dad drove. Have never forgotten that car and can still picture it (both inside and out) in my mind.

    Nice!
    If you drive straight backwards and hit the brakes multiple times, it'll help even out the braking, adjust them to a certain extent.

    I love the "Speed Limit Warning" indicator on the speedometer. A buzzer should go off when you reach the speed you set the indicator to. It should be yellow, the indicator. Nick, this is kinda rare, and COOL as hell if it works!!!!

    Nice Old Cat Nick. She should have a 430 in her. The 455 came out in 1970. Love it..

      Thats what i was thinking. i had a 67 Riviera....it had a 430.
      Then again that just might be only an air cleaner from a 455.

      Peppers 430.

      You are correct! In 1967 the previous engine was updated to the 430 cu. in V8 and then replaced again in 1970 with the larger 455. It would seem either the originally engine was replaced or someone put the 455 decal on the air cleaner. Another reason to always check VIN number on the car and engine to see if they match.

    I used to own one of these back in the day. Loved it. Remember sneaking a lot of my buddies into our local lake with that big ass trunk. Four bodies comfortable. Loved that car wasn’t a convertible though. 15K seems like a steal.

    I've been told by a antique vehicle restorer if you can get anything 20° colder then ambient temperature your doing good. That's with original factory equipment though.

    Old Buicks were notorious for having over-boosted brakes and power steering. That's how they were made.

    My first car was a 69 Wildcat. Just a rust bucket with a 430. I would love to own this one.

  • @ronmyers2317
    @ronmyers2317 3 роки тому +1

    I love these big land yachts. That is one sweet Wildcat. I prefer a 66 but this one will do just fine. I'm a sucker for red cars and I love the convertible. Interior looks awesome car sounds great to. Might have an oil leak issue as there was oil underneath on the pan.

    The battery may be weak causing the slow windows, sounded like the starter turned over a little slow also. Nice boat, and a great job as always Nick.

    Nice boat. Luv the droptop. A 455, hmm? Engine (or air cleaner) swap probably. In '67 Buick replaced the 401 and 425 nail heads with 400 and 430 c.i. engines. The 455 debuted in '70 models. Earlier Buicks badged their engines with torque numbers rather than c.i. but in 67 the 400 produced 440 lb/ft and the 430 produced 465 lb/ft so that isn't what it's referring to. www.hemmings.com/stories/article/1967-69-buick-400-and-430
