1966 buick wildcat - lithia springs, gastreetside classicslithia springs, ga 30122ph: 8773671835web: www. It's one of those special gm cars with unique features, and even though it's a 4-door, it's just a fantastic piece of luxury muscle with all the right features. There were few more stylish sedans on the road than the buick wildcat in 1966, with buick's trademark sweeping body lines and chiseled good looks. Thanks to a high-quality repaint in medium blue, it looks spectacular with a sophisticated air to it that only a buick could wear. It's two-stage urethane, so the shine is deep and clear and thanks to expert care since it was done, it shows only a few signs of use. The chrome and stainless trim is original, and given that this car has never left the warm, dry south, it's no surprise that it's in great shape. The red cloth interior isn't exactly stock, but it's an awesome contrast to the bright blue paint and it's all-day comfortable. That's the original bench seat wearing fresh upholstery and the door panels have been stitched to match. The carpets and headliner were probably replaced at the same time, but again, nothing jumps out as too new or too old. The wide dash has lots of jewelry, including a wide band of bright metal trim to give the wildcat a sophisticated air, and the only part that doesn't seem up to snuff is the steering wheel, which wears a leather wrap. A factory air cleaner shows a reproduction decal advertising 'wildcat 445' which, in buick tradition, is the torque figure, not the horsepower. A 4-barrel carburetor lives underneath, so power delivery is snappy, even for such a big sedan. Correct turquoise paint makes the engine look original and with power steering and power brakes, this car feels luxurious and effortless in everything it does. The transmission is a th400 3-speed automatic, which by 1966 had superseded the venerable dynaflow, and it powers a set of 3. 00 gears out back, making this a great highway cruiser that just loafs along with the big block barely breaking a sweat. The single exhaust burbles along happily at any speed and original wheels and hubcaps are wrapped in right-sized 15-inch whitewall radials. Cloth Interior
