  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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. ;)

    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!

    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.
