68 Wildcat custom sports coupe

[Kiwijeff]

Hi there all; Kiwijeff from down here in New Zealand. I have a few Buicks; my everyday driver (check my profile pic) is a 68 wildcat custom 4DR HDTP, I've owned this car for 22 years & have done all the work on her, including painting, (caravan too); My wife's everyday driver is a 67 Electra 4DR HDTP she's owned for 16 years. I went to the US in 1996 & bought that for $150US in Bakersville CA, & shipping, $4600NZ landed. Last year I bought a 68 Wildcat custom sports coupe on e-bay for $760 US, $5800NZ shipping to N.Z. Still a bargain. It will be on the road within a few months, painted & rebuilt. When driving my car, Donna's always commenting how she'd like electric windows in her Electra instead of manual winders; ANYONE OUT THERE have a set of 4DR electric window motors, wiring & switches, or even just the front 2 sets, for sale, I'd be very interested! I have other projects on the go, including a 63 Wildcat sports coupe which needs a fair amount of work, but will be a great car when done. thanks

Somehow I 'm very interested to see some photos of your 68 Cat Custom 2dr (ex- and interior) :thumbsup:

Thanks for the photos. I'm in the final stage now (is a car ever finished?) for my 68 Wildcat sports coupe after a repaint. From experience: it is not the most easy year/model to get parts for :jeez:
