Lou , Why in the world didn't you cover that this GS came with the optional 425 cu. in. engine with the 2 - 4 barrel carburetors ! - the air cleaner badging saying Super Wildcat 465 . A single 4 bbl will have an air cleaner sticker saying - Wildcat 465 ; and the standard 401 cu. in. engine will display the air cleaner saying Wildcat 445 .

The paint is still amazing, when you consider they were painted in lacquer back then. ! The white Pearl interior is beautiful also. It's great to see a 425 nail head engine that clean & detailed too.

What a gal she was, bubbly fun blonde lady always smiling and pretty. they had a life of hard work and fun times. They lived in Macomb park back then. Troy later on until they sold and went to a condo. RIP Aunt Helen and Uncle Dave. Her grand daughter was a model for Chrysler for awhile draped across the hood in photo shoots lol.

Nice looking 1966 Buick Wildcat GS Gran Sport! This is a car that you don't see every day. I think that 66 was the last year that they put the GS package on the Wildcat. It then went to the Skylark. The original paint job has held up great, and the 425 CI engine sounds healthy. The interior looks pristine as well. I noticed that the horn set sound like a Cadillac horn set. I've always noticed that every Buick GS you have featured is equipped with an automatic transmission. I guess that since Buick is primarily a luxury car, a manual transmission isn't appropriate. I don't think I've ever seen a Buick GS, either a Wildcat or Skylark with a stick shift. These are the classics I prefer rather than the new cars of today. Good find Lou!

¡No puedo creer, que este asombroso Buick Wildcat GS de 1966, no haya tocado restauración! De hecho, salvo unos detalles, aún parece salido de agencia. Tiene unas líneas muy bonitas, con hermosos adornos en cromado, como la parrilla del frente puntiaguda con sus faros dobles y las letras de BUICK con el logo del Gato Montés en el capó. Un interior muy bonito en blanco crema, junto al sobrio pero elegante panel de instrumentos enmarcado con adornos cromados y los emblemas del Gato Montés en todos los asientos. Su motor ronroneaba como un gatito, pero, en cambio, el rugido de esos escapes te convencen de que estás ante un auténtico gato salvaje... ¡hasta sus marcas dejó en el piso! Sin embargo, al final, su conducción se notaba que era muy suave y dócil. ¡Saludos cordiales, Lou!

Buick Wildcats were Awesome & from my own experience,the best Buicks. I say that because I owned 7 Buicks in my lifetime. I owned 3 Wildcats, a 64 with the 401 Nailhead, a 68 with the 430, & a 70 with the Awesome 455. All were great cars in every way. I also had 2 Rivs a 70 & a 73 boatail. They were also great cars. They were a very close second to the Wildcats & I also had 2 Deuce & 1/4's, a 73 Limited & a 75 225 Custom. Great cars also but not quite as quick!!! I NEVER had any major mechanical problems with any of them. But getting back to that 66 Wildcat GS, that's a real gem!!! With that awesome 425 Nailhead with dual quads, & that pristine interior with that very nice chrome trim, & that chrome on the exterior, & that very cool looking Red paint work make that Wildcat look Awesome. If that was my car, I would NEVER,EVER sell it. Lou,you keep on finding these very cool & classic cars!!! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ that 66 Wildcat!!!

What a great looking car. I worked for a Buick dealer from 1964 to 1966 and we never sold one of these. It was the only year Buick made a WIldcat GS. You could get the 425, even with two 4's in a Wildcat. If this had been a southern car it would have had AC. I am kind of surprised it doesn't have power windows. Buick was building some great cars back then.

I love my 65 Biuck Skylark Gran Sport. It's the same color but it is black interior with the vinyl top in black the 401 nail head is what sets it apart from other GM muscle cars. Great to see a wildcat that's still in its original condition.

I am a loyal subscriber. I got the notification about another GS and stopped everything to see it! When u saw my color I was amazed! It's a little bigger than my Skylark but what's stuffed under the hood is Buicks answer to GTO's. Too bad people were not interested in a muscle car that also had great styling. On the other hand I'm one of around 500 happy GS owners amongst thousands of other production muscle car owners. Sometimes it's not the dollar value of your car that matters. Having one of those "you can't get one" cars is a lot more satisfying. I'll never sell mine and I'm pretty sure thats what most GS owners would say. Thanks for showing us this beauty

I've seen one other Wildcat GS. It was in the 80s and my father and I did the body and paint work on it. White in color with black interior. The exact same car and what a beautiful machine she was. Awesome car and great video Lou. Keep up the great work and thank you
