Hello,

Looking for information production numbers, anything.

I have a 1963 Wildcat convert with a 425, bucket seats, tach, side markers.

The car is stock and is need of some interior work do to years of wear.

I'm thinking of putting modern interior and cleaning the engine compartment.

The car has 89,000 original mi

I dont know if I should restore the best I can or bring it up to date.

How rare?

The top needs replaced.

Trying to find info is not easy.

Any help would be great, Thanks Adam

Buicks.net has some good information...looks like 6021 convertibles.

If it were me, I'd look to restore it...they are only original once. That being said, changing the wheels or something like that which can easily be reverted gives it a little more unique look while not detracting from value so long as you have the original stuff. The 425 is a strong engine with plenty of power...that car should already be a blast.

Good luck with it. Any photos to share?

The 425 in the '63 Wildcat is quite rare, since it was only offered during the last 2-3 months of production, and then only as an option. I've learned a lot about these since the 425 is what my '63 Wildcat convertible has also.

This is how mine looked, before I cleaned it up and identified it.

I would try to bring back as close as possible to original, Like Pete stated, a 63 with a 425 is rare in it self. I have a 4 door hardtop with factory 4 speed with a 425 CI.
