Tough to say on the value but if so, I don't think a lot. Heck, maybe red even increases the value over gold.
Ha.....this is probably the Supreme Wildcat of that year.....i don't like red but a lot of people do....if it has been restored correctly....it is the BOMB ! I will see it the first day of the auction and give you my honest opinion that evening when i get home Peace WildBill p.s....... Jim Schliff had a triple black 70 bucket seat and console 455 Wildcat that he brought to the GS Nationals one or two years in the 90's.....anyone have any pictures of it ?
In my life I’ve seen three ‘69 or ‘70 Cats with buckets. In the ‘90s there was a green one that came to BG. Last year I posted a link to one from fb; I think a member here bought it for the interior, and this red one. I don’t remember a black one. Patrick Edit: I found my post; pphil bought it. I wish I had saved photos from the ad. I have this screenshot. Pphil, if you see this, will you post some?
There was a guy in NY that had one for sale in here a few years ago. Was tempting. https://v8buick.com/index.php?threa...es-for-restoration-with-all-the-parts.385409/
Yes i bought a bucket seat car for parts as it was rusted beyond belief.....but complete I know tom wagner has a green 2 door with buckets.....beautiful car I will be bidding on this car and we will see what happens.... Scott
I dont know who has it but I see its running a North Carolina Tag on it so its probably someone from the Carolina Chapter or I would bet someone knows the car around here.
Another quick question Does anyone know if this car is matching numbers....... Thanks in advance Scott
I will give the car a good looking over and start it and listen to the motor but i ain't diggin for numbers Peace WildBill
did you look at all the pics on RK Motors site? It looks like there is a pic of the engine block numbers at the end of them, but on my phone too small for me to read.
Personally if I was looking at a Big body car and it was a-non numbers car, for me it wouldn’t hurt the value. We aren’t talking about 6 figure numbers for these cars and it’s far harder to find good interior, exterior and suspension parts. Example, try find discs and calipers for a wildcat, so I would be paying for the quality of the car. I’m guessing a good survivor car will have the original drivetrain, if there ever was a problem with the engine or transmission, the owner probably got it repaired, not a junkyard replacement? Happy bidding guys.
Agree. I don't think it matters at all wrt value, just as it wouldn't IMHO for a Skylark & not even much (if at all) for a GS 350.
