    68 buick wildcat VIN info

    Hi the VIN number for the car I have is #64699Y131173. This Wildcat is a 4 door as well with the 430 engine. I also need information on where I could get parts for this car, because I am doing a full restoration, and a lot of parts need to be replaced. Thanks.

    you've mistranscribed that VIN. the first digit has to be a '4', that was the format for ALL buick cars from 1965 until the new universal VINs were instituted.

    however, even making allowances for that i'm not making much progress here.

    6 46 99 x Y 131173
    6 = Cadillac; error, should be '4' which would equal Buick
    46 = codes as a Gran Sport 400 (401), i suspect you've transcribed the 4 and 6 which would give you a model code of 66 which is a Wildcat Custom
    99 = doesn't code as anything, i suspect you've got a '39' or 4 door hardtop although '67' (2dr convertible) and '87' (2dr hardtop) would also have been available in 68
    x = production year, either there should be an '8' here or one of those 9's is in this slot which would make your car a 1969 model
    Y = Wilmington, DE plant
    131173 = Sequential production number

    what i think your VIN might actually be:
    4 66 39 8 Y 131173

    hope this is helpful. if you find something other than what i've got, get back to us and we'll see what we can find.
