Re: 65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT
2L designation means 4 speed on every gm tag.

Re: 65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT
It's a shame the tags are all pop riveted. This would be a neat car to drive.

Re: 65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT
In my paperwork, Buick's code for a 4-speed is B3. That's the code by the box where you check on the order form.
Now what's this "2L" code that supposedly appears on dataplates? Even '69 GTOs have this?

Re: 65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT
The 2L code only applies until 1967 as far as I know. Are there any hidden vins on a 65 to at least tell if the VIN is original to the car?

Re: 65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT
This car was on eBay a few weeks ago. Evidently was a no-sale.
