Default I've gone to the Wild Side!

I first saw this 1966 Buick Wildcat for sale on the Hemmings website a little over a month ago and I was hooked! The color combo, options and low mileage really peaked my interest. I had been wanting a mid 60's GM full size car for a while and this one fit the bill. I had to sell my '71 Cutlass survivor in order to get this car and it all worked out with the help from a good friend. The seller "Frank" was fantastic to work with and he provided many good quality photos in his listing. The car has a pretty cool story too. You can read more about it here and see all of the photos in his listing. https://www.cprforyourcar.com/1966-b...oupe-for-sale/

The car arrived here last Friday and I've been busy going over it. I got the original vinyl top cleaned up real good along with the trunk compartment. I also installed NOS points, condenser, plugs, made some carb adjustments and a fresh oil change. She runs really smooth now. The original distributor cap, rotor and plug wires are still in place. Also has its original belts, hoses (radiator hose clamps have been replaced at some point), radiator, alternator, starter, carburetor, distributor and more.

I took these new photos after I got it cleaned up. In time, I will start cleaning up the engine compartment as best as possible while preserving the original finishes.
