I love them...if its really really nice 15 to 20k ?? Check V8buick.com and ask there...those buicks had a variable pitch Super Turbine 400...it was a good running boat..

Sounds like a sweetheart....the nailheads are a nice piece. . Those variable pitch trannys are kind of cool too....I spent some time w/ an Oldsie that had one and they work quite well really. . Don't a fella' wish he had buckets o' cash to spend on whimsical wheels....and could wind back the years just a bit too maybe???? ~ Pete

Feel sorry for someone restoring one of those !

Envision this....I am 16 and bustin tires at Midlothian Firestone. A regular customer brings by a red Wildcat with the dual quad "Super wildcat 401" for an oil change . To make a long story short, one test drive and one driveshaft later I was out about about a month's pay...very expensive oil change indeed. Great old memory.

Re: 63 Buick Wildcat 401 nail head
 

Better a driveshaft than an engine or a tranny or a rearend............ you got off "cheap" AND you have a neat story.

Re: 63 Buick Wildcat 401 nail head
 

I had a Super Wildcat 65 Riv in 1874..it was a 425 CI engineand I later found out it was one of a handful of non GS 2/4 Rivs...called an A8 car...those engines had shaft mounted aluminum rockers with a steel pad pressed into the valve tip end....I replaced quite a few of those crappy rockers when I hammered the valve end and ruined the steel insert...I just MAY have over revved it a few times....it was so cool though.

Wow...my 64 Wildcat was a duplicate of the one shown and my 65 2/4 Riv was tha same as the one shown with the exception of a dealer installed vinyl top...the engine was a Super Wildcat 465 which designated the torque number ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: 63 Buick Wildcat 401 nail head
