Ok, Heres what I know,
The cars Odometer shows only 6245 miles, Unknown if its actually 106k miles..
Its too clean to actually have that many miles,
The car was torn apart in or before 1985` Thats the last inspection sticker on the windshield.

Its ALL there. I mean the chrome on this car is IMMACULANT.
Its been repainted the factory color and I've now reinstalled the original glass back into the car.

What is this car worth????

I've found myself in a bind.
MY Grandfather whom is 83 yrs old got this car and is pending selling her due to financial woes.. I myself have a crazy collection of Chevy S10's "3 S10's all custom"

I wanna know what this car is worth.
Is it worth me selling off my S10's that I have over 50,000.00 invested in between the 3 of them?

Interesting, look at my thread above on the 60 Lesabre. Anyway I need a better description of the exact body style, does it run, move, stop, frame, body rust? 445 was the engine torque designation.

I'll have pictures of this car tommorow.
Ok heres a description of what I've got.

The car was stripped down to its bear shell "I beleive in 85'" thats its last pa inspection sticker,
Repainted its factory color, it could use shot again, I think they used lacquer it looks glossy but lots of imperfections. Paint only.

The Body I would rate a 9 out of 10.
I restore cars as a fairly heavy hobby, This thing has little to no mud.
The interrior is Immaculant. Factory white seats, No Marks at all.
The chrome for the car is all off of the car with the exception of the few pieces I've already put back on.
They are all perfect.

The car appears to be a actual Wildcat. there is no other badging for this car.
Its the Gran Sport model? I was told my my father who decoded this VIN that this was the sport "loaded model". Bearing the larger engine.
Its a 2 door model.


The car had sat as I said for 25 yrs. I checked for oil flow, replaced the plugs wires cap and rotor and it fired right up. No cranking for hrs, it starts right up
Sounds Damned good too.
I can drive it around with no problems "well, I need to install new front brake hoses cause they are going bad. I wont drive it on the road. But my property is 25 acres of flat ground and I had it wound up moving nice.
Its odd for me to sell my babies "my S10 collection but they will be on ebay quicker than lightening for this
car. Its that clean.

This is NOT the car. but its Identical aside from color.
Found this one on ebay. 1966 Buick Wildcat

I'd dig right into this and get er' going based on your description, a GS had 2 4bbl carbs. Approx value is 12k to 18k, for a reg Wildcat. Cool car for sure!!
