"owner wants to sell. who knows what its worth? Where can I find numbers on factory four speeds?"

owner may have stumbled across insane auctions on TV causing belief car is desirable, this causes barnfinds to become unreachable. right now he wants to know what its worth to motivate the sale. has anyone seen anything like this move on E-Bait or anywhere else. give me a ballpark to play in so I can throw him a number.
thanks

welcome aboard nipper. I havent got all the data yet but I believe 15G is only going to get you a beater.
It looks a bit better than that.

For grins, here's a'64 for sale...not sure it helps. It's a dual quad car and I think it's in Canadian $$'s.

Take the $15k and double it...

I think the person selling the yellow one is smoking crack. I'd like to see him break 30, even.

Anyhoo . . . this is the info that I have. I am not making claims it is correct, but I believe it to be so.

For one thing, is it a Wildcat or Wildcat Custom?

If it's the former, they made 29 4-speed ragtops, 77 the latter.

Guessing it's a 425-4, it's 5 or 27. If it has AC, I can figure out those numbers too.

It's surely one I'd love to have - I mean, I'd be all over it in a jiffy if it wasn't for the fact that I don't have the dinero - but when you compare it with other big cars like a 427/425 Caprice, I don't think its rarity brings the high bucks.

thanks Mike, thats the help I needed. the 64 is on the large Electra 225 platform while the 65 moved to the smaller LeSabre. I have been told that this car is one of nine as the 64 is one of two. (not rare like the one of one GTO RAIV verts) This vehicle has had but a few collector owners with the original owner reportedly being an executive at Buick or General Motors. Also claimed but not yet documented is the mileage reading of 10,000.

First of all let me say this is a cool-looking car and would make a terrific cruiser for someone.

Looking at the underside of that hood and other pictures, I believe this car was rusty in the past but has been repainted/restored. Since the whole engine is painted the same color I would question the quality of that resto, also it looks like a lot of the hard to find parts need to be replated / restored still (air cleaner, speedometer surround).

Exterior paint looks nice in the pictures but beyond that there is a lot of money to be spent in my view to bring this car up to snuff.

No offense meant, but these are factors that would affect the value..Would you agree this car is a 3 minus?

I don't go for this 1 of 1 crap . . . According to my info, a '64 Wildcat convertible with 2x4 and a 4-speed is 1 of 53.
