Vehicle Description
1963 Buick Wildcat 2 Door Hardtop All new! All muscle! All glamour! The exciting '63 Buick WILDCAT! America's only luxury sports car with Advanced Thrust engineering now features three models, room for five adults, smart vinyl bucket seat interior, and an almost neurotic urge to get going! Very definitely for the sports minded male and his equally adventurous mate. There's a Buick Wildcat rarin' for someone like you to give it a brisk workout. Like, this weekend? From the 1963 print ad for the Wildcat.  For consignment, a 1963 Buick Wildcat, showing an unverifiable 66,064 miles.  A 2 owner car with a custom paint job, an engine that was rebuilt 4000 miles ago, and a fantastic interior that is well coordinated with the wild exterior. Exterior Silver fills the gap between the parallel trim pieces in front which then join to flow down the length of this big car, creating a delineation between the upper orange surface and the ivory white below in a style more reminiscent of 50's era cars, but looking unique and sharp on this quintessentially 60's body style. This silver strip is where the faux fender vent lives, an evolved feature that traces its roots to the iconic Buick portholes which were modeled after WWII fighter planes like the P-51 Mustang.  Also in profile, we note fender skirts which are adjacent to another 50's design cue, gravel guards which adorned the flared fenders of earlier cars. In back, stunning tail light nacelles wear points that suggest fins without being intrusive and straight bumper that is flanked by simply shaped reverse lights. Underneath, twin chrome tips peek out and point downward. LED headlights with a halo now take center stage on the grille, all accentuated by the broad chrome bumper with ports for the marker lights. 15-inch Buick Rallye wheels wear orange lug nut covers and are wrapped in tires with an early 2020 date code. The paint and metal work are very good, and imperfections noted includes numerous areas of bubbling on the white paint down low. Interior The door panels start with pleated ivory uppers, an orange armrest, and an orange carpeted lower in a clean and showy presentation. The low backed bucket front seats revert to ivory and orange vinyl and aside from needing a bit of deep detailing on the driver's lower, the seats are intact, stylish, and attractive. The rear sets essentially meld two buckets as a bench and carve out part of the upper for a rear speaker, while orange speakers occupy the finished package tray. Lots of pleating and tuck and roll in back add visual interest and texture and a Buick emblem is embroidered in the center of the seat. A fantastic steering wheel that almost looks like two separate half circles over a slim horn button greets the driver and fronts an elegant and original instrument panel, surrounded by an ivory leather pad. Levers, an AM radio, and A/C controls are in the center while an AM/FM/CD radio is tucked in the glove box. A Buick tach accompanies the shifter in the center console and plush orange carpet spills throughout the car in bright, clean fashion. The ivory headliner is in great shape and the trunk is bare but painted orange. Drivetrain A less showy engine reveals itself as we pop the enormous hood and is a rebuilt 401ci V8, topped by a 4-barrel carburetor and rated at a wild 325 horsepower. A Dynaflow 2-speed automatic transmission is behind it, sending power to the rear axle with 3.23 gears. Power disc brakes now occupy both front and back to relax the flexing muscle of this luxury sports car.  Undercarriage Driver quality underneath with bouts of surface rust and general patina along with noted oil on and around the oil pan and transmission, as well as some seepage from the pinion seal. Dual exhaust runs along the X-frame and encounters Turbo mufflers before finding their way to the atmosphere in the back. Despite the surface rust, the underside looks str |
