1963 Buick Wildcat Convertible - 401 V8 445-LB Torque Marlin Blue 1 of 6,02 Made

"Smooth," "powerful" and "quiet" are just a few of the words that can be used to describe Buick's 1963 Wildcat. With its clean, robust lines and tasteful decorative trim that lends it an aura of elegance that few cars of its era possess, Buick's sporting Wildcat for 1963 was, and remains today, a truly remarkable automobile. Factor in its well-appointed interior, powerful V-8 engine and the silky smooth performance of its Dynaflow-based transmission, and you have a genuine, unique automobile that, much to the delight of Buick owners and enthusiasts who know a great car when they see it, remains well under the radar. Under the big hood lies Buick's famous "nailhead" V-8 engine. It displaces 401 cubic inches, and with its Rochester 4GC four-barrel carburetor and 10.25:1 compression ratio, pushes out a mean 325 horsepower. More important is its torque rating, which is an amazing 445-lb.ft. at its peak 2,800 RPM.

Inspired by the striking exterior of the 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire, the leading portion of the body is also clad in stainless steel paneling, except on the Wildcat the panel is about three-inches wide and ends mid-section of the door, not at the rear like on the Olds. Within the panel lie three separate horizontal "vents," upholding Buick's characteristic venti-port styling theme. Polished moldings frame each wheel opening and cover the lower portion of the rocker panels, thus adding to the car's sophistication. Full wheel covers, whose design evokes the look of the intake on a turbojet engine--still in vogue back in the early Sixties--disguise the Wildcat's sporting appeal; they are specific to the Wildcat and weren't fitted to any other Buick model.
