I was given a 64 2dr with the 425 and auto this last fall. Needs a carb and driveline. His son took the dl into the shop years ago because it was viberating and kid never went back and picked it up. Oh well, it was free. Pics this spring when I start tearing up the streets with it. CR
Here's a couple cats 63 and 64. I just sold the 64 convert. Looks a lot like the other one here with blue interior and buckets. Pat
Owned a 64, loved it but sold it last year at Barrett-Jackson. Still have a 62 that's currently being redone.
always have a bit of trouble researching previous auction results at barrett-jackson the last scottsdale auction had a 64 cat go for 33k. Was this yours jacks455gsx? Is this the highest a 64 has sold for? anyone? I'm just wondering because I picked up both of my cats thinking that the values would increase in time, mainly because of their rarity. Neither of mine are currently in great condition, though not bad. The nailheads alone are worth saving I think. I'd like to keep my 63 mostly stock and I'm thinking of customizing my 64, since the body needs some re-repairs, because along the way someone used bondo over some rust. Maybe I'll post another thread about that
Just for the sake of conversation, is the 62 really considered the first Wildcat or is the 63? For example, the Malibu name was introduced in 64, but never it's own model all the way til 78, when the Chevelle model was dropped. I like the Invicta name anyway.
64 4d hardtop for me. Haven't yet started anything major on it...just picking up some replacement parts here and there...such as emblems, taillight lenses, etc. Not sure what I want to do with the paint and interior. That's a sweet ride Josh but I can't imagine trying to keep white interior clean.
:kodak: I owned a 1962 Buick Wildcat from 1968 to 1970. It was Black with White vinyl roof that I dyed black because I could not keep it clean. It had white vinyl interior, buckets, console, tach,etc. The only reason I got rid of it was that my wife took the pasenger side out and the body shop wanted more than I paid for the car to fix it. I WISH I HAD IT BACK TODAY!!!! If anyone has one for sale, let me know. And if you don't want to sell yours, please post some pictures of it so I can reminisce.. BigGuy49
