This 1966 Buick Wildcat convertible is a fairly rare example with less than 5,500 made this year (and only about 2,800 of this more premium Custom trim line.) So this one is already attractive even before you see that this has been given some terrific investments over the last decade, including updating the V8 and adding four-wheel disc brakes.
This convertible has an interesting history where we're told it was with the first owner for 45 years. Then it was with the second owner until now. So what you're going to find is a cool mix of well-preserved originality and some updates/upgrades that keep this a great cruiser without taking away from the earned vintage style. This feeling starts with the paint. It shows the right signs of being the original application, and that makes for an impressive completeness on a car that has passed the half-century mark. So while some people may want to use the value price to give this a high-gloss respray, we find something special in a car that has earned its finish and shows it. The full story of this car is also seen in the quality of the overall presentation. It's believed that the odometer represents the full mileage, and that would mean averaging only about 1,400 miles annually. This kind of careful use can be seen in the crispness of the body panels, completeness of the trim, and even the quality of the white roof. It really is a thoughtful style, right down to the tires that have a cool look with a red stripe to go with the paint and a white one to go with the roof.
More of the time capsule style. Bright trim, working courtesy lights, and insignia trim in the seatbacks make for terrific details for vintage loves. In fact, the only upgrade you may spot is the handy engine water temp gauge mounted under the dash. This was Buick's full-size offering so there's plenty of room for you to comfortably share the classic car experience with family and friends. But there are some terrific driver-oriented features. After all, front bucket seats with a center console in-between mean you're always getting an individual level of comfort. Plus, power windows and a power convertible top mean you never have to leave the driver's seat when you want to open this one up to the world.
Under the hood you'll find a 401 cubic-inch V8. This is an era-correct block with an honest and original-style presentation, right down to the Wildcat 445 callout on the air topper (that number signaled the monster torque from the V8.) You might also be able to spot some of the good investments under the second owner, like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, updated intake, and steel-braided fuel line. This has nice cruiser features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes. Plus, this has been updated for more confidence on the road with newer bushings and four-wheel disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, this classic drop-top combines originality, rarity, and a terrific price. So you know you don't want to miss this Wildcat. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
