Looks legit to me. Although I have owned only one 1966 Wildcat GS. Boy, I wish I had that one back. It looks like it has all of the original identification badges. The engine and air cleaner are correct. You can check if the numbers match by comparing the engine number with the body number. They should be the same. The dimple in the left side valve cover is 1966 only. It is there for those cars that had smog equipment. The dimple is needed to clear to back side of the air pump, which would be mounted next to the power steering pump. When I first saw mine was like that, I thought it was dented, but it is made that way.

I have not seen a Star Wars Air Cleaner on anything but 1967.

To answer Jason's question.....Yes, they are 5x5 bolt pattern.

Nice. That hot rod looks interesting. I bet the owner really enjoys having fun with it.

I'll take that 1966 Wildcat GS Convertible, please.

It was 82 degrees in the Dallas area on Christmas Day, which set a record high for that day. Certainly did not 'feel' like Christmas, but it was a good day anyway.

The North Texas Chapter was fortunate enough to have the Blackhawk attend one of our Regional Shows several years ago. It was very interesting to spend some quality time with it. That is chapter member Ed Logan in the driver's seat.

Who can relate to this? I remember my mother taking me to Drive-Ins until I was around 10-11 years old. It was fun. I remember seeing the original Jungle Book at one. Are there still Drive-In theaters near you?

It was dedicated more to performance than anything else. I wish I had my 1966 Wildcat GS back, though. It could really scoot for such a big car.

And again, 334. They have you on the 2nd page now. I had to hunt you down. Not many of the other candidates are original cars.

Take a BCA roster with you. I bet any BCA member would be glad to help you if called upon.

This is what Aaron65 is talking about. You should at least have this.

Those rubber strips were a mistake from day one. The rubber contracts and shrinks due to temperature changes (and eventually shrinks permanently), while the metal it is glued to does not. When I bought my 1991 Roadmaster wagon, several attempts were made to glue it back on, but they were all unsuccessful over time. When I gave up, one of the rubber strips was more than an inch shorter than the metal it was supposed to be glued to. I did what a lot of Roadmaster owners do, just remove the rubber strips and remove the glue residue from the metal strips and polish them. They look real nice without the black rubber strips. You will be fighting this battle as long as you own it.

I consider myself one of the fortunately ones, but not without issues. I had rolling blackouts since early Sunday morning. But, it didn't take long for me to figure out they were scheduled. Approximately one hour off, then one hour on. When the electricity was off, the house would get down to 60 degrees, and in the hour I had power, it would warm up to 64. Not bad considering the alternatives. This went on for 4 days, but we could schedule our hour of electricity to get food prepared, etc. Yesterday I noticed a busted pipe in the garage area. It was a copper supply line to the hot water heater, running along an outside wall. Although it was insulated, I guess it froze anyway. I don't know how long it ran water inside the garage until I noticed it, but by that time, everything near the pipe was soaked, and everything in cardboard boxes on the floor was destroyed. I was able to move a few shelves around and fix the pipe myself. Unfortunately, some of the ruined boxes contained repair manuals and my collection of Buick Bugles going back to the beginning of the club. I don't know if I can salvage them or not. Many water mains have burst, so we have to boil water for consumption. And, because of that, no restaurants are open at the moment.
The trouble I went through was nothing compared to many of my friends, some of which were completely without electricity for several days in a row. And I have seen pictures of what busted pipes can do in a two-story house. My heart goes out to those less fortunate than me. So, I thank God I had it good.

I completely agree with Jake. The name Wildcat is meant to be wild and sporty. Nothing puts out that fire more than a bench seat, column shifter, and 4-doors. I think they should have stuck with the sport coupes, convertibles, bucket seats, and console shifters for all Wildcats.
Try to imagine a 4-door Riviera, GS or GN........

That 1932 Buick is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. Whenever I had the chance to see it, I could never take my eyes off of it. A truly remarkable Buick.

I cannot give you any advice on the leak, but I just wanted to say what a beautiful 1960 Buick you have! I wish I could see it in person.

Amazing film and interesting to watch. I noticed how everyone was so well dressed. No matter what they were doing, there seemed to be a pride in their appearance. That's something I'd like to see come back.

Those are big trailers. Impressive.
I had a set of 'front fender' mirrors when I pulled a trailer with my 1966 Skylark.

Very nice! You should be proud of that one.
