Geeee....sus! How many do you have????
The back Cat is absolutely Gorgeous!!!
The 'Cats have many more styling accents than the Skylarks. If they weren't so darn long, I would add some to my own garage! ;D

I once saw a real sweet '66 Cat, red,.... in a junkyard, probably 20 years ago.....always wish I had saved that one. I eventually built a 1:24 model of it to preserve the memory....
Wish I had a time machine. I'd go back and rescue that girl....

Nice collection Ted, Thanks for sharing. Are you having a garage party this year?

Like you Walt, I'd seen pictures of the Wildcats and never paid much attention to them until one year at the BG Nats someone pulled up with a perfect red 65 on the back of a trailer.... I was in love!

I can honestly say that given the room, I'll have one in my stable some day, they are so cool.

I'm very impressed Ted... very very nice!

Guys.. I'm kinda partial to that red one (the coupe)... very classy looking yet she looks like she'll run with the best of them.

I agree.. that black one really looks mean.. grrrrrrrrrr

I'd be afraid that I'd scare all the old ladies and kids in the neiborhood driving it..... hmmm I think I might have just moved the black one up to first place!

Yes it is... I was just asking my wife five minutes ago if should thought getting the convertible out for a quick run to the pizza place was a good idea and she shot me down. 

"To cold" she says which translates to.. drive faster and the car will warm up sooner.  :)

My vert is out in the garage right now with the top down.  Just got back from a run around the neighborhood in her, really nice to be driving it!

I sold my truck so I am going to equip this blue Wildcat with a tow hitch for our boat!   Carmen just sent me the carbs for both- the Wildcat and the boat   :occasion14: :occasion14:
