I've gone to the Wild Side!

This car is whisper quiet for having dual exhaust. It does have some large resonators though.

Back in the day our neighbour had a red '66 Wildcat 4 speed which he drove hard...real hard. My Dad hated him for that! Rod sold the Buick, bought a '68 SS396 Camino, sold it and bought Yellow COPO '69 Camaro that was a graduation gift to a kid in southern Alberta.

'65 was the last year for a 4-speed in a Wildcat, but perhaps someone installed one in that '66. He certainly climbed up the performance car ladder!

Here’s a couple Art Kemp Buick Ads w/ ‘66 Wildcats.
Also Grant, if you haven’t seen them yet, there’s currently a Kemp Buick Opel Pin on eBoy as first link below, second link a 05/25 Buick site posting w/ what appears to be a 68/69 Art Kemp Buick Salesman’s Postcard being offered free to anyone w/ a car from there.

Thank you for those ads Pete, very cool! I did see the button on eBay and the postcard on the Buick forum before. A friend sent me an unused '66 Wildcat postcard shortly after I bought the car, that was really cool. 🙂

I guess it must have been a '65...I was 13 years old and it was my first exposure to anything like the Wildcat.

Gotcha, they do look alike for the most part.
