Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel

OK, no problems with her selling for too little since her nephew is a hot rodder and master upholsterer! Asking $19990 for this 57.

Hey Bryan- There were more 64's than 65's, 600(something) compared to 466 4-speeds in '65. In 66 the 4-speed was not offered but there were a few 3-speed column shift jobs built.

Yeah, I'm not sure about the price! It is still owned by the original owner's family. She does not even have a driver's liscense, the husband bought it new and had 1 repaint. I have not seen anything but these photos. Just trying to help out a friend.

"manual transmission geek" THATS ME!!! Restoring a 65 Wildcat Deluxe 4-speed convertible Storing a 65 Wildcat Custom coupe 4-speed 425 dual quad Modifying a 65 Wildcat custom coupe auto to 5-speed stick 425 dual quad or Q-jet Oh my geeking wallet

This one is for sale in south eastern Indiana. One owner, full documents. One repaint and bumper fix. Contact Darrin Cutter 812-432-9405

I have found build sheets in the back seat cushions and under the carpet in the back seat.

Thanks Brian, My pleasure! I have a similar document for the '64 models that is linked through the V8buick site. Thats where I found they made a few dual quad 4-speed Lesabre Wagons.

I compared the data plates of 2 cars with the 4-speeds with no luck. It seems that the data plates were for Fisher Body to keep them sorted out, and I have not been succesful at seeing continuity in the data that is there. Needs more study, thats for sure.

I counted a total of 122 for all 4-door Wildcats with 60 of them being the Wildcat Custom Hardtop. From Daily Car Report Buick Motor Division, 8-24-65 Also check out the little spread sheet I made under other links of interest at the buick club homepage. Love those Wildcats!

The tube part- Does yours have the flapper built into the manifold? If yes, I have one I can send for postage. Ted

See if Carmen can fix you up, 716-693-4090 Does the choke tube have to work?

Like Wow, Another 4-speed Buick! Needs work, but how cool would it b to have this? 63 Lesabre convertible on ebay: ???? Full restoration : ?????? Rowing the 4 speed in a buick convertible: priceless! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2488639802&category=6138

Now I have to work instead of scanning for new posts AAAAHHHHHHHHH

The LeSabre Wagon was a "46" series car, like the Wildcats. I requested info on the Wildcats and rcvd info on the Wagons. I summarized the details from the Daily Car Report that I find interesting, which is Super Wildcat engines, 4-speeds and a/c. I made a spread sheet. See attachment! Hope it helps, it shows 56 of the 4635 and 38 of the 4645 Wagons came with the dual quad engine. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36582&highlight=1964+wildcat

I'm not sure if the Pontiac stuff is the same, Ames Performance has body mounts www.amesperf.com good luck

My interior guy asked me what a 57 Roadmaster hardtop is worth. 1! owner, not much else known. I may get pictures for better opinions. Stay tuned!

Normally a Special would have a V-6 or 300 ci V8. If it has a 401 it may be a GS, which is more desireable. If someone put a 401 in a Special , I say COOOL! But not original

Good Luck!!! Wild Bill has them installed in his cars, and looked long and hard for them. Matt in Wichita has a set in his original 64 Wildcat 4-speed, and is looking for more. Joe Bettis in Vermont had a set in his 65 Riv converted to 3speed w/od. Thats all the ones I have heard of out there for 3.91's. Wild Bill sold his 4.45 set some time ago...are they in a car now? Robert? did you buy these? I am also looking. But I have no time limit...

Hard to find! I am looking for the 3.90:1 set, and have heard of a 4.45:1 set floating around. Anybody out there have any in their car?

Thats cool-looks like they used the Electra fenders/hood/grill, and Wildcat trim from the cowl back. Fenders are unique-venti ports on top, wildcat trim on the body line. I Like it! Remember the 65 Electra 6-door limo that was on ebay a couple years ago?

I don't know about the key-I have a couple that came with my cars that are all worn out. Cool car you have, can we see pictures? Thanks

Check Hemmings new issue-one blue/blue for sale this month! I just got my issue and its a home. Good luck!

That car is too cool! I was able to visit with Matt out in Wichita last month. He is restoring a 4-speed Wildcat, a subject near and dear to my heart! Greg Scharding and I got a ride last year with Matt in this Electra. The interior chrome could put your eye out, it was SHARP. A real pleasure to see this car.

Check out this post- Kleiner is doing a repo of the big block linkage. Stay tuned... http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40957

No problem! I posted a couple more on the photo site today. I also got one of the 38 Buick-while it was in the trailer @ Amelia.
