A 1967 Build Wildcat convertible that flexes an impressive shape is looking for a new home if someone is ready to provide the perfect storage conditions for a truly rare gem.
The convertible is 100% original, having spent its entire life with the same family since new. Born in Baltimore and sent to a family in Dallas, Texas, the Buick never left the hometown until 2021, when the owner decided to let it go.
It is reportedly one of 2,276 Wildcat convertibles fitted with a 430 in 1967, with eBay seller 57shark82 explaining that the car is still unmolested and unrestored. The Blue Mist paint was sprayed by Buick, except for a few spots that have been touched up to cover minor dings and scratches.
The interior also looks incredible, as the owners cared for everything inside. Now let’s talk engines.
The convertible comes with a 430 (7.0-liter) V8 rebuilt at some point in the mid-2010s. The seller says they have the complete documentation for the job, and it’ll be offered alongside original purchase forms, warranty, build sheet, and other papers.
The 430 was new for the Wildcat lineup in 1967. It produced 360 horsepower thanks to a four-barrel carburetor.
Buick offered the 430 for only a few years, as the company eventually dropped this engine in 1970 when it introduced an upgraded unit based on the same powerplant. The 455 (7.5-liter), also known as Buick’s largest V8 engine, was a bored version of 430, this time with a power output of 370 horsepower.
A 430 puts this Wildcat in motion too, and considering the engine has already been rebuilt, everything works like on a new car. A video shared only by the owner shows the convertible casually cruising on a sunny day, with the original radio working correctly too.
This 1967 Buick Wildcat rolled off the assembly lines with power steering, brakes, and air conditioning. The system still blows cold air.
Classic Buicks are becoming more desirable in the collectors’ world, and considering its condition, this 1967 Wildcat can’t sell for cheap. As an all-original survivor that hasn’t been molested, the car will likely attract the attention of many diehard Buick fans – the owner didn’t list the vehicle for auction, selling it at a fixed price; however, eBay’s statistics show 11 people are already monitoring the car.
The asking price is $37,500, but the owner has also enabled the Make Offer button for people who want the car but have other deals in mind. If you’re going to see it in person, you’ll have to travel to Gilbert, Arizona. Its condition allows the car to drive anywhere, so you won’t have to bring a trailer should you eventually get your hands on this rare Wildcat.
