Unfortunately, between the different shades of the pics and how they look on my PC, I can't tell what color that is. But I'd like to know.

Wildcat65 Wildcat65 Member Registered: 05/29/00 Posts: 553 Loc: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA	I was having problems with the color on the camera too- offically th color is '67 Riviera Charcoal Grey. The green wall in the background makes it look like Sea Foam Green! Ted _________________________ Ted Nagel WILDCAT FANATIC

JohnD1956 JohnD1956 Member Registered: 03/29/03 Posts: 2207 Loc: New York	I see the grey on the pic with the sail panel. But other pics made me think is was some sort of gold or that Peweter color you see on a lot of GM trucks today. Still nice... _________________________ John C.

Wildcat65 Wildcat65 Member Registered: 05/29/00 Posts: 553 Loc: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA	Yes, 65 was the last year for every engine green. 66 was a transition year, HP engines were red, regular series usually green. It was tempting to make this one red! _________________________ Ted Nagel WILDCAT FANATIC

JohnD1956 JohnD1956 Member Registered: 03/29/03 Posts: 2207 Loc: New York	I applaud you for keeping it stock, even though it is a 67 color. Is the engine painted, or are parts plasticoated? _________________________ John C.

Wildcat65 Wildcat65 Member Registered: 05/29/00 Posts: 553 Loc: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA	I had the engine on a dynomometer last weekend for some power pulls. It sounds great! Ran 373 hp @ 4700 rpm. Look at this happy guy! _________________________ Ted Nagel WILDCAT FANATIC

Thriller Thriller Member Registered: 09/06/03 Posts: 2202 Loc: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada	Looking good Ted. Was the engine essentially rebuilt, or tweaked? Seeing as they were rated considerably lower, I'm just wondering.... _________________________ Derek Thille BCA #39416, CBC, MBCC #1984 66 Wildcat Custom Coupe - "Ellie" / 62 Special Convertible / 61 Invicta Convertible / 56 Special 4-door Sedan / 52 Roadmaster 4-door / 41 Special 41SE Sedan / 29 McLaughlin Buick Model 51 2006 Buick Rainier - "Ruby" / 2005 GMC Sierra K2500 - "Max" (the hauler) Thriller's Buick Page
