For Sale- A 1968 Buick Wildcat. 430 Big Block engine that runs well. The body was recently scratched and dinged, and I do not want to refinish the car again. This is an excellent opportunity to pick up a unique classic car at a cheap price.
The car runs, and runs well. However, there is a slight lifter tap, and the water pump needs to be replaced. I have the water pump, and will include with the sale of the car. I also have new parts to rebuild the top-end of the engine (which would correct the tapping, AND increase HP and performance). Those NEW parts include upgraded camshaft, lifters, springs, keepers, and pushrods. These are all brand new, and value at nearly $600 alone. I also have the factory air conditioning system (which was removed to increase performance). The tires were installed 2 years ago, and have less than 200 miles on them. The interior is in very good shape for a vehicle of this age. The previous owner installed a CD player, and some door speakers, and they sound nice, but it does detract somewhat from the originality of the car, but this is minor and easily correctable.
This Wildcat has a power antenna, and a speed alarm (kind of a primitive cruise control that buzzes once the set speed is exceeded). The interior is in good shape, and all dash components/gauges work well.
This car needs some minor body work (to correct the dings, and scratches), a new vinyl hard top, and a paint job. There is a little rust on the wheel arches, and some minor surface rust in a couple locations that were recently scratched.
This is a great opportunity to own a piece of American Muscle at a very cheap price!
I will ship this car- however, payments must be arranged PRIOR to shipping, and buyer assumes responsibility of cost for shipping***

GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US
Sat, 20 Apr 2013At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?
Tue, 07 Aug 2012We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
