BUICK RACER Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Looks like a nice car, too bad there are no pctures of the interior or engine compartment! I sent a message asking, will see what happens! RV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riv2x4 Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 This may be the same car that was on eay about a month ago. If it is the numbers don't match and I beleive the engine is a 65 401 not a 66 425. It was painted green not red. Also the chrome air cleaner had holes drilled into it. The paint was not an original Buick color and the interior may hae been changed.<P>Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 From the pictures I got today, it has definitely has a green engine, with holes in the air cleaner, Buckets seats, the most obvious is the GS emblem is at the back of the quarter panel I thought it was supposed to be under the end of the Wildcat? Can't see if it has the GS emblem on the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 R.V., does it have the GS on the grille ctr bar???<BR> If the GS on the rear 1/4 is above the letters, sounds like a fake unless someone at the factory was a bit sleepy when inspecting the car!!!!<P> Let Us Know when Ya Can <P> don55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK Buickman Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 palbuick;<BR>The '66 Wildcat that I just purchased was found in the middle of Alaska. Does Tom Mooney own a black '66 Wildcat coupe? The one from Riverside was black, and had 13,000 original miles on it.<BR>RE; '66 Wildcat for sale on e-bay;<BR>Make sure that the GS nameplates are the 1966 style. I've seen fake Wildcat GS's using later model GS nameplates, the ones that are slanted to the right, instead of the '66 block style, which are straight up and down.<BR>AK Buickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Hi Jim, I read this this morning and went hunting on ebay for the car...not a trace at all....weird indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSMAG Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Just checked EBay and it's still there, didn't sell. No bids. Something must be fishy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riv2x4 Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 I saw the auction was cancelled because of an error in the listing. When that happens all bids are cancelled. I was the high bidder last time it was on ebay about a month ago. The seller in San Fran must have sold it to this guy. After talking with him<BR>and determining it was not a numbers matching car I became very skeptical about the other problems with it. Might not be a bad Wildcat convertible driver but I don't think in its current state it should be valued as a genuine GS. The San Fran guy did not have any documentation on the car either.<P>Larry<BR>Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palbuick Posted September 12, 2001 Author Share Posted September 12, 2001 I have mixed feelings about starting this.<BR>The pictures listed looked good, but inquiring minds will come through. Did we save someone from buying a phony car. There are so many cars that are low production being cloned today, buyer beware. If all the questiones asked her help a buyer from buying a bad car, then this is a great column and a great bunch of people.<P>Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
