1964 Wildcat, how many were produced with 4 speed manual transmission, 425ci Dual 4BBL.....back in the late 1970's I wrote to BUICK and they couldn't answer my question....
I don't know if there were records kept, but the number of dual quad, 4 speed Wildcats made in 1964 is very low, possibly single digits. Somehow I suspect there are more that exist now than were built by Buick in 1964.
According to the Daily Production Reports from Buick in 1964 Cars with 4-speeds -623 4600 chassis which includes 14 Wagons 56 4-doors 354 Coupes 199 Convertibles. Dual quad 4-speeds break down like 2 Wagons 7 4-doors 114 Coupes 53 Convertibles. These reports are available from the Sloan Museum research section. They are moving the archives and will re-open later this year. Ted
You are welcome! When they reopen I will be asking for the copies of the 63 reports on the Wildcats... Ted
The 4-door & wagon #'s are surprising. Any of those still known to exist? Great to meet you in BG and finally see your awesome car!
Dano, I have never seen one in person. I have heard of a couple of the 4- speed wagons surviving - no 64 4-doors in my experience. Lois Soto has a 63 4-door Wildcat 4-speed. THE coolest! Black/red bucket interior Great to meet you as well. I'm looking forward to your 350 3pedal progress! T
Thx. - I'm very anxious to get going on the car! They're a labor of love as you know all too well. It's a basket case but going to be a beauty (if one likes green cars. Very low option w/a SCO 3.64 rear. Thx. to @gd2227 I have a much needed donor car/foundation on which to rebuild it & thanks to @Paintworks for the sprayouts I can finally really see what it'll look like.
