This is the only die-cast available of a production Buick Wildcat. Its done by Siku of Germany. They usually screwed up their American car cast's, but they did well on the Wildcat. Anyway, I couldn't take mine in stock form any longer. Here's what it looks like stock.
Sorry for this crappy picture, but I didn't have access to a good digital camera today. Anyway, I removed the incorrect cast-in B pillars, removed the quarter windows, and I added Buick rallys with Goodyear eagle's. Next step is to paint it a correct 65 Wildcat color. Any thoughts Wildbill?
65 model can you give me an adress on that wildcat model. that would look great with my full size 65? ; - )
That thing has been out of production since the sixties! Its roughly 1:43 scale. The good news is that they turn up on Ebay every now and then. A mint boxed one will run $60-$100. A real nice unboxed (like mine) will go about $30-$45. Don't shy away from one missing wheels since as you can see, others can be made to fit. But don't buy one missing doors, trunk, etc, cause you'll never find parts. Happy hunting!
my first car was a maron 65 2dr wildcat with a 425. auto. old time tube fuel injested. ran airplane fuel in it . it was a modified motor to start with and the mod it was in retired and i bought the motor for $100 bucks back then. wish i would have kept it now:laugh: uzzled: :3gears:
My 1st car to was maroon '65 it had a white top that looked like a convertible but wasn't. My Great UNK recieved it as a gift brand new from his employer.. he never drove it and it sat in a barn on my grandfathers farm. when i turn 15 my grandfather and I restored it to as original as possible... I loved it and wish I could find a DieCast Model.. Will have to find a picture of it to post here...
