Vehicle Description
With its big numbers-matching V8, a stunning color combo, and an
option-filled A/C interior, they really invested wisely to make
sure they restored this 1963 Buick Wildcat to uphold the right idea
of a vintage car with timeless premium appeal.
This was the debut year of the Wildcat as its own model. There was
a movement in the car industry to have more personalized coupes
that could represent both sporty and luxury, and this was the
result. So there's extra thoughtfulness in the styling. You see it
up front in the way the hood, grille, and bumper all come together
to give this a crisp point in the center. And the bright trim that
runs through the front fender and into the door is a 1964
exclusive. In the rear, the bumper fully integrated into that hint
of tailfin. Plus, the rear trim is a detailed design that wraps
through the corners but stops to emphasize the Buick emblem in the
middle. It's intricate styling for people who appreciate the little
things. But this one impresses for more than just the details. You
can see there was a solid investment all over this coupe where the
factory-correct Bronze Mist paint was given a quality respray so
that it has a nice pop in the sunshine. It really knows how to show
off the straightness of the body panels. And because all the
brightwork is looking just as radiant, you have a car that you can
drive and show with pride.
A full-size coupe means there's plenty of room for you to
comfortably share the classic car experience with family and
friends. And if they are lovers of vintage machines, they'll marvel
at both the freshness and level of detail. It's everywhere from the
feeling of the correct saddle tan upholstery to the correct mats
protecting the carpeting (even in the trunk.) The bright trim,
working glovebox light, and correct AM/FM radio with presets
spelling out B-U-I-C-K... this is all part of a feeling that really
turns back the clock to 1963. But the desirability is not just
about being vintage; this Wildcat also focuses on the driver. You
have bucket seats up front with a center console in-between. Yours
even has provisions to power adjust. The dual-spoke steering wheel
is on a tilt column to give a clear view of those large and bright
gauge pods. And there's even a tach at the top of the center
console. Plus, this is a truly premium classic with power windows.
That means you never have to leave the driver's seat to show off
the pillarless hardtop profile. And because the air conditioning is
blowing nice and cold, you can enjoy this experience even in the
summer.
Under the hood you'll find a numbers-matching Wildcat 445 V8.
Remember, this is a 401 cubic-inch motor, but Buick was wise to use
the big 445 torque rating as the headline. The full package looks
correct, right down to the four-barrel carburetor on top. There
have been the right investments in maintaining this original
engine, and the way it fires up and runs is the proof. Buick set
this up to be a cruiser from the factory with power steering, power
brakes, and an automatic transmission. Plus, the classic Rallye
wheel package has a great-looking set of Vogue tires.
Complete with maintenance records, this is the awesome-looking
first-year Wildcat that has the luxury feel and terrific ride that
makes you love a true vintage machine. So if you want the best of
it all, call today!
