wildcatsrule Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks Mark- I hate to part with it, but hopefully it will go to a good home. I don't know why someone hasn't snapped it up already- I mean, how many 42 year old cars of any make do you find with less than 30,000 original miles? Not many!

Guest BJM Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 This should be nationally marketed. Not enough exposure on this forum. Despite it's pristine condition, it's a four door model and perhaps a price adjustment is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhclark Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 This should be nationally marketed. Not enough exposure on this forum. Despite it's pristine condition, it's a four door model and perhaps a price adjustment is in order.Agreed on both counts. Personally, I like 4 doors, partly because I have kids, but mostly because they tend to be HALF the cost of a 2-door.$6000-$6500 would probably sell immediately. $8500 will need just the right buyer.Good luck with the Bugle ad!Beautiful car!

John_Maine Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I love this Buick. I've seen it in the magazine and also advertised in the Bugle. It's just not the right time of year for me otherwise I might make an offer. There's also the distance factor; I try to buy cars locally - that I can get to, look at and get home the same day.

wildcatsrule Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 This is a true "fly in and drive home" type of car. I have driven it out of state on a few occasions with no problems. I forgot to mention that this car was the only 1968 Wildcat on display on the show field at the 100th Anniversary Buick Celebration in Filnt in 2003. Just an interesting tidbit.

John_Maine Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Where in Michigan is Grand Blanc? Seriously, I would be interested in this car if you still have it this spring. I had a '66 LeSabre w/19K on it when I sold it in 2005 because I wanted something different. I bought a '72 LTD w/34K on it which I still have and have taken to Hershey twice. I also have a '71 LeSabre Custom that belonged to my uncle. It looks decent but has 120K on it and needs some work done so I don't take it out of town. I'd like to have a nice, comfortable, low mile Buick. I've learned there's no comparison between the Buicks and the LTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatsrule Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Grand Blanc is approximately 10 miles south of Flint. I live about 15 minutes away from Bishop Airport in Flint. I'm sure I will be getting more inquiries on the car in the Spring. Now that Winter has set in, the timing isn't right for buying or selling vintage cars. The next ad will be in Hemming's in March.

wildcatsrule Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Rain, snow and questionable road conditions mean that I unfortunately will not be bringing my car to the swap on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatsrule Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) I have now listed the car for sale on eBay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buick-1968-BUICK-WILDCAT-CUSTOM-26-OOO-ORIGINAL-MILES_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3cab5d10a9QQitemZ260573040809QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks Edited March 21, 2010 by wildcatsrule to insert link (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatsrule Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 The car is still available. The top bidder lied to eBay to withdraw his bid and he waited until the auction was almost over before doing so. Some more people placed bids, but it didn't meet the reserve again before the auction ended. I may relist again soon- if so, I'll post another link.

bhclark Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The bidder might have just wanted to know the reserve. I see that all the time.The top bid was only $266 more than my estimate in post #9. Good luck with your relist....Ebay is full of troublemakers. I don't think they realize or care how much money they cost you when they do this type of thing....

wildcatsrule Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Yep-that is what this person was up to- he said in an e-mail that he was trying to determine the reserve, which is not a valid reason for eBay to retract a bid. Instead, he lied and told them he entered the wrong amount. I could have reported him to eBay and stirred up a hornet's nest, but I decided that there are more important things in life than spending the time to complain about some idiot that I wouldn't want my car to go to anyway. Hopefully there is a real buyer out there who will appreciate my car for its rarity and originality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcatsrule Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 I didn't register for a space in the car corral at Nationals in Iowa, but I'm tempted to drive this car to Ames as a spectator. If nothing else, it would be a nice drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCK55buick Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 David,Congrats on getting her sold, hope she found a good home and you were happy with the sale. If I didn't already have a 68 Electra convertible, I would have been very interested. I helped judge one of your Wildcats in Rochester, very nice sedan!
