Dan , yeah I seen that too .    Thats a little over my price range for a car that i,m going to let my wife drive fairly often .
And IF I was going to pay that much for a car I would definitely have to look at it in person first .
I do really like the car but not that much .

What a beautiful kitty kat! But seems strange to have those options but not present on the firewall tag which is held on by a single pop rivet!?

I wouldn't expect 29k to buy the Wildcat.
Back to the 67 GS..... the body line on the lower qtr of the drivers side doesn't look right, might be bondo? I don't see that going for over 20k considering ll the body and paint flaws.

       My son and I were looking at that Cat on Ebay the other night and I noticed the VIN tag too, kind of strange !! and I live in Long Island and our Chapter has a big all Buick show every year and I don't recall ever seeing that Buick. or do I remember ever talking about a Wildcat like that.. our chapter meeting is this Thursday, I will bring up the subject and see if anyone here knows about it and pass on the info....

        I Brought up the subject of the 65 Wildcat at the L I Buick Club meeting last night. Several members saw it on Ebay ( and questioned the VIN tag ) but other than that no one has ever seen it or heard of it on Long Island. So it may have come from out of state.....

Yeah Jim , I just might do that too , but without actually seeing the car in person I probably won,t bid very high .

Indy is a really good auction but the prices are usually a bit more than the KC auction. Perhaps you could entice John Egel to inspect it for you. Remember that phone bidders pay a 15% commission versus 10% though.
