Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel

I sat next to this guy that bought this car on my plane ride back to Cincinnati. Pictures...

I used Gary @ Rallyamerica with excellent results. He did take longer than he originally thought. I will use his services again.

Might try Carmen Faso. Ha has lots of parts for these engines- 716 693 4090 He is in Buffalo, NY Good luck

I just saw a 64 Riv with a Flowmaster dual in/out Camaro muffler installed. It was pretty loud, but the muffler tucked up in there very well. He had a local shop install it. I like the Magnaflow idea, it may be a little quieter.

You can tell the "pecking order" of the Buicks by their series number. for example, in 1965 it goes like this for the big cars: 49000 Riviera 48000 Electra 46000 Wildcat 45000 LeSabre Definately sportier than the LeSabre, not quite as luxurious as the Electra.

Probably need to check these ##s out, I was adding in my head from the encyclopedia of american cars. check out the buicks.net website!

I can help on the production cars. Introduced in 1962 as part of the Invicta line. LeSabre and Invicta had the same wheelbase that year. Wildcat production @2000 units 1963 Wildcat became its own series, 35725 produced. Electra 58645, LEsABRE 181204 LeSabre and Wildcat 123" wheelbase Electra 126" 1964 135163 LeSabres. 84246 Wildcats, 68792 Electras, electras still 126" 1965 144996 Lesabres, 98787 Wildcats, This year @ 126" as is Electra @ 86810 built. See my 65 At www.buickstreet.com !! See production info @ www.buicks.net

I think it was, I'll look at the color set from '38.

Scott, I am glad to see you back here! How is the coupe doing?

I hope the weather is nice enough to bring my sweetheart-my 65 Buick.

Right on with the numbers! A-8 GS Wildcats-21 (2-4bbls) A-9 GS Wildcats 1224 (Q-Jet) Source:Buick Motor Division, Daily Car Report for model 6000, 08-02-66, p.248 I can't wait to get my issue. I let my subscription lapse and had to get the last one at Borders!

Thanks Gary.

I am interested IF ITS FOR THE 38-40 flathead, please advise. What year? Thanks

Thanks for all the replies! I am going to study the interior problem a bit before doing anything. It seems this is a unique style and I think in the long run I would be better off to seek originality. That will take more time and probably$$. Time to work on something else for a while in the garage-

Hi Keith, that is a 67 GS California, 2 door post coupe. Do the upper level interiors have full vinyl covering the doors? Mine has metal on the top 1.5" of the door, painted like the metal on the dash. May be tough to get this imprinted vinyl pattern so I may look at the upper level trim. Thanks, Note: I did look around and saw all the 67 Skylarks had the metal I was worried about. Any 67 coupe interiors out there need a new home?

Thanks George, I may be interested in the seat, mine is probably the same only with rusty springs and frame. Just depends on whether I can get a whole interior or need to put it together one pc at a time (like Johnny Cash (RIP))The NOS molding sounds cool, is it totally different? I think mine is the GS-the holes are there for the GS emblem. Just pulled the dash out last night, what a mess!

I am looking for a complete interior for a 67 Special. Blue vinyl. Yes I need door panels, rear seat. Thanks, see attachment for style
