Wow, you just don’t see this WildCat anymore. This resto. Is beautiful, like new.

Honor and pleasure to have purchased an underpowered but Beautiful 80s Buick Park Ave or Riviera . From this Gentleman.

“My four-speed, dual-quad, positraction, 401”! Y’all get it? It could have probably worked. My granddaddy was a Buick fan. Great job, Mr. Lou, but of course!

My dad had the same car in white with a convertible top. I was 12 years old and learned to drive in that car. The day he bought it we were on our way to my grandparents farm when the alternator gave out. My dad stayed calm but my mom had a coniption because she had covered food dishes that we were taking to the farm. The Buick dealership owner, Jim Bower met us on the road with his mechanic and put a new alternator and battery in it and gave my mom a bottle of wine. Between my dad, my brother and myself we bought 16 new Buicks, 5 used Buicks and an Opel from Mr. Bower over the years until he sold his business. After that dad bought Cadillacs and my brother and I owned Chevys and Pontiacs and a random Buick or two.

That is a very nice,very cool looking 63 Wildcat with the 401 Nailhead with dual quads!!! I thought only the 425 Nailhead had dual quads!!! Plus the four speed & the awesome looking console & bucket seats!!! My 64 Wildcat only had a 401- 4 barrel,a bulletproof turbo 400 trans but I also had custom dual exhaust with cherry bomb glass packs with shorty pipes & it had plenty of power!!! I don't know if you know this, but the Wildcat really made it's debut in 62. It was an optional package on the Invicta & the very next year the Invicta was gone & enter the Wildcat!!! The Wildcats,in my opinion were the best Buicks!!! That 63 Wildcat is a real gem because of it's rarity & pristine condition!!! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ that Wildcat!!! Another great find, Lou!!!

Wow, that's a gorgeous Buick, Lou! All those years of owning a Buick dealership have definitely given Dennis an eye for the great ones. What a lovely day for a cruise, too. Thanks for taking us along.

I had a 1963 2dht La Sabre with the same nail head 401 as my second car, will live in my heart for all time.

I was just 8 when my Dad brought home a blue '63 two door LeSabre with 410 Wildcat V8. He kept it until 1973.

Pretty "Wild" some of the multiple-carburetion engineering of the early to mid "60's! Super owner and car here. Thanks Lou!

Perfect day, and perfect car! In 1963 there were very few cars that were faster than this one. I have seen Wildcats at shows, etc, but don’t recall any with that super rare 4-speed, even though I belong to Buick Club of America, and have attended Regional and National meets. Thank you so much Lou for another great car story! You always bring us the best stuff.

WOW WOW! This just might be one of the HOLY GRAILS for BUICK! 👍👍👍 I also believe this was the First Year for the AM/FM Radio which is very RARE for 1963! I don’t believe Redline Tires were available yet??? Not until 1965! Also take Note of those Beautiful CORRECT EXHAUST ends! There is nothing like a NAILHEAD V8 Buick 🏁🏁🏁

Lou you are the class act on the internet...

I had a 63 but mine was red with a black top and black inside. And it was the only car that scared the hell out of me it would fly.

Wow what a beautiful unit this is! It was like brand new! I love the color of the top the red paint the white interior just makes it ever so sporty and compliments the 4 speed transmission with that huge engine! What a neat owner too. I loved his history of the car and of this special Buick. That had a awesome engine sound too! Those wheels and the red line tires I just loved. That ride along was great! Brings back memories. I was just 5 years old when this car came out. I do remember the old Buick WIldcat!!Thanks for sharing Lou!!

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT SEEING THESE CLASSICS! THANKS LOU!

Wow, did this bring back memories. Both my father and uncle had '63 Wildcats. My fathers was maroon with a black top and interior, my uncles was triple black. We took my uncles to the 64-65 New York Worlds Fair. My father who is now 98 years old, still says it was his favorite car, although he also says that "it would pass anything on the road, except a gas station". One interesting feature on the console was a built in litter container, it was located between the shifter and tach. As a kid I thought that car was the coolest car on the road. As an adult I still do. Thanks Lou for this trip down memory lane.

Beautiful RARE Wildcat !!!

Amazing. My friends dad always talked about his Buick Wildcat with the 425 cu in motor being one of the fastest cars he drove. Great review Lou. Keep up the great work

Extremely rare indeed, never seen 1 like it before!Back when D-town STILL knew how to build a car!😃

This is a beautiful, amazing, rare car. Lucky man. I had this same color red, in a ‘64 Wildcat convertible!, loaded with all power windows, conv. top, trunk opener, antenna, etc. back in ‘71. Wish I had that back again! Even though mine was’t the “Super Wildcat” dual quads that this one has, it had a single quad and it was a lot fun to driver! The torque and pickup were phenomenal! “The Banker’s Hotrod”.

The thing that's so wonderful about Buicks, Chryslers, and Mercuries of that era is the very tail end of this vid. Being 100% stock, it's fast without being obnoxiously loud in sound and appearance. My Dad loved this era of Buicks (Buick loyal from 1955 through 1992 when he discovered he couldn't buy a real Buick engine other than a wimpy 3.8 6 cylinder so he switched back to Mercury for the Ford 4.6). My Dad swapped out his Buick's every two years, his and her's, alternating new cars every year. His absolute favorites were straight body lines of this era. When we found his photo albums, he had more pics of Invicta's, Electras, and Wildcats than anything else. Initially we thought it was due to his age, mid 30's, but we all had conversations with him, at different times in his life, about cars he owned, and he always came back to this decade and how much he loved the 401's reliability, compactness, and how their early 60's Buicks were twice the cars of 65 and up, as all car manufacturers began to consolidate design, material, and platforms. Truly, I agree with my Dad. This era of cars are all unique by brand and style.... Thanks Lou, for bringing these ultra rare and forgotten cars to life on KZfaq.

Thanks, Dennis & Lou..never seen a 401 /4 SPD, ETC.... INCREDIBLE,!

That dual 4Barrel blows my mind Lou .GM power House of the 60 -70s .

Good morning Lou thanks for this nice Buick!

That is one Hot Buick, thank you, Dennis and Lou.

Great to see some of this cars completely frame off restored back to a factory original condition. It sure gives a bit of a time travel feeling. Mid-fifties to mid-sixties cars are some of my favorite, modern enough to still be used yet old enough to have the mid-century charm.

I love '63 Wildcat. But a 4 speed???? Very rare! I also want to share my Wildcat story. In 1967, my father bought a marina blue '66 Wildcat. He had it a few weeks and it was stolen! My toys were in the back seat. The car was never returned.

Even Buicks were nice back in the day, beautiful car! Good video as usual! Thanks Lou for your hard work and dedication to the channel!

Ahh! Brings back childhood memories of my uncle's 1962 Wildcat (white over black with red interior). I was only 5 years old, but it was the first car that ever excited me and began my interest in automobiles. Thank you Dennis, for sharing your car story with Lou! Thank you for this video Lou! This video brought back memories of the Buick advertising catch-phrase "Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?" 😃

The Buck Wildcat was one of the most beautiful cars ever produced.

Just a gorgeous rare example. I always liked '62-'64 Wildcats. I so miss "personal-luxury/sports cars". Full size comfortable cars that didn't rob you of driving fun. You rarely see those original rims with the satin silver paint by the way.

I had the original 1962 Buick Wildcat back in 1966-67. Fantastic car and so smooth with the Buick Dynaflow.

My uncle Keith had a black 63 Wildcat convertible, with a white top....401 with an automatic....awesome car.

I have not watched the video yet but I know I like it. Thanks Lou.

I just love the Wildcats! And, especially the rare 4 speed! It's every Buick lovers dream, to own one of these 4 speed cars! I had a chance, a few years ago, to buy a 3 on the tree, 4 door LeSabre out of Missouri, but passed on it. What a mistake on my part. That's another pretty rare one!

Hey Lou. Beautiful looking car. I've never seen a 1963 Buick Wildcat before. You can definitely tell that you're looking at a Buick.

Well my 1963 Buick Wildcat has been family owned since 1962. She has power windows all original glass p/s p/b factory in dash a/c a dynaflow transmission and have both the 4 barrel and dual quad set up. My Grandfather bought the car new and traded it in on a 65 Wildcat and then my father bought the car from the dealer 2 months later. My father gave me the car in 1979. I still own it to this day. She has one of the smoothest running motors and the motor has plenty of power.

I had one of these a 1963 Buick Wildcat. It was black with a white interior ahead a factory tach on the console what a beautiful car. I bought it out of the showroom in a Buick dealership and Plainville Connecticut

REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING YOU WITH THE 1963 BUICK ESP TODAY FOR ITS A DISMELL RAINY DAY IN HOLLAND TODAY.NOTHING TO DO THAN ENJOY LOU COSTABILE AND HIS CAR VIDEOS

Lou, you never disappoint your viewers. Absolutely stunningly rare car with the oh so sought after 3rd pedal.. WOW !!

The Buick Wildcat was introduced in 1962 as a limited-edition submodel of the Invicta series, and 1963 was its first year as a series in its own right, adding a four-door hardtop and a convertible to the original two-door hardtop. A four-door sedan was added for 1964. Collectible Automobile in its December 1988 issue called it the "Sixties Century", and after going on a virtual ride with you and Dennis in this one, it's pretty clear why! Thanks again, Lou! As always looking forward to more amazing automotive adventures!

The ultimate sleeper back in the day!

LOVE a nice full-size 4-speed! Classy hot rod! Great car!

Another great video Lou! Love those old cars of the 60’s.

You're outdoing yourself Lou . This Wildcat is a beauty .

A real Wild Cat. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks 😊 Lou and have a nice day !

The fin taillight assembly is similar to a Wildcat/bobcat’s ears. Nice 👍 another video that I enjoyed!

Wow Lou, another piece of US automotive sculpture...with attitude. I really enjoyed how you and Dennis were cruising with the blue the late Summer sky overhead. Whatever happened to the finer details of how to make a car look really special...as this Buick is :-)

Hi Lou, Thank you for sending me this video among the others. As soon as I have the opportunity, I shall comment on all of them. Take care and maintain the good videos you are producing. Brian

A beautiful restoration! A Dual Quad Super WildCat!

Very rare with a 4 speed and vinyl roof. Great car Lou.

Great car again Lou, you have the knack to find the treasures.

When a new Olds or Impala SS 409 just isn't good enough GM offers up this. Just amazing and all the right boxes checked. The combination of quality, performance, rarity - what other big three had a car to match this in '63? No one. Congrats to owner. And thanks Lou.

My 63 LeSabre 4 dr. hardtop with 401/280 and Twin Turbine was far different from this Wildcat in some respects, but many things identical such as the dashboard, hood, trunk, windshield, taillights, etc. I loved it. Manually select low and then simply floor it and 60 was less than 7 seconds away on good pavement. The "switch the pitch" feature was fabulous.

You need to do a whole segment on the forgotten muscle cars of the 50s and 60s

Man thats one beautiful 63 Buick Wildcat.

For a moment I thought the spare tire in the trunk was a pillow.

Buick and GM used to rule the world nothing was better back in the day

I have owned four 1963 Buick Wildcat cars. One four door hardtop and two two door hardtops with 401 and the Dynaflow auto. One two door hardtop had the 401 and Borg Warner four speed. I drove this car to Dallas and back many times, and I let a friend take his family to East St. Louis in it once. It had no mufflers but dual straight exhaust. It was capable of nearly 75 mph in first gear and I had it up to 45 backwards once. Mine ran a Carter AFB carb while some of the Dynaflow equipped ones had a Rochester 4G. After driving it for three years a guy offered me a good price for it. It was a good car as all four were.

Excellent interview! Did not know alot of the features of this car, absolutely beautiful! I really like the passion that this owner has for his car. In an era when GM allowed for alot of individuality for their respective brands, and they were "rolling pieces of americana artwork". As a Buick dealer owner, he no doubt knew that during the 60's and 70's, Gonzalez-Murphy Buick in Culver City, California, was the number 1 Buick dealership in the USA. Thanks again for highlighting such a rare and individualized car, and the very knowledgeable proud owner!!!

Had a 1967 Buick. Lasaber 340 four barrel. Vonderhay garage tuned it up and first 5wnt up Mt. POCONO HILL it kicked in and thew me back in my seat, I could not believe it. Fantastic in the snow and it snowed in the Poconos in 1976. Great steering very comfortable. Lived in it for a while.

What a beauty! One of my favorite cars I owned was my '63 Wildcat. 5 years of good times with it. Someone [dealer add on] added the dual-quad setup, as it was not a factory option until 1964, then only on the 425 engine. Same with the 15" chrome wheels. '64 beginning - then with black centers, not white. Not taking anything from this car, it is beautiful...just not quite original. A bit of ventiport trivia: last year for them on a wildcat was 1963. Following 1963, the ventiports were represented by aluminum/chrome hash marks on the front fenders. BTW, Lou, it is called a hood spear, not an ornament chrome thingy...

SOUNDS GREAT. SMOOTH. LOVE THE TAIL LIGHTS. . LOOKING AT THOSE TAIL LIGHTS BRINGS ME BACK HOME. 2. ASTORIA .N.Y. THX. LOU.

That dashboard/gauge panel is delicious.

This is my new favorite car!

Awesome video Lou awesome Wildcat!! I love Wildcats. I don’t know how I missed this one !

Beautiful Buick Lou!Thank you for showing it....

Its a world class national treasure !!! ...

What a beautiful example of Buick quality & a rare car too. Never seen one with the 4 spd & the dual quads. My cousin had a lt.blue 66 wildcat convertible & I loved riding in that car. ! Thanks to Dennis for sharing his love for buicks & to you Lou. !

Great car. Well done Dennis. Love Buicks. A superb & beautifully maintained car. Great to see this one Lou. Great post as always. Another car added to my long list!!

Amazing car! We had a 4 door Wildcat ,man oh man I wish I kept it. Ours had leather seats. White with black interior. Dual glaspacks that came out right before the rear wheel.😎

Very reminiscent of the 63 Pontiac 421 Super Duty

He lou good to see u again beutyfull wilcat its one of my favorite ill buy it when he whants to sell it i couldn't find one so i bought a 68 riviera gs i installed a 455 ci buick engine not a lot of people ever heard of a buick wild cat or even know it exists

Buick made some of the best and fastest luxury cars. True beautiful engineering done by humans.

You show us some beauties but thats a stunner - I just love that Red . . And.that immaculate engine bay Wow . . Its a WOW car . . .

That takes me back. I always enjoyed the Buick Wildcat. The 1963 was my favorite. I have driven one but never even came close to owning one. haha Did the Owner's Guide say it went 0-60 in 8.3 seconds? It was a tad hard to see on my laptop. This gentleman really takes care of his. Low mileage.

Thanks for showing another great car! I saw a 63 convertible 4 speed Wildcat in Michigan several years ago! Love all the small details that are not put into cars now, and the dual quad carbs = super rare. Love the white interior and the headliner and even the giant trunk. Such a well designed car!

Two of these engines made a tandem starter motor for the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. The AG330 start cart ran no mufflers but straights👍🏻

Pure elegance! Thank you Lou.

In 1965 I bought a Buick special and my cousin bought 1965 wildcat in red convertible and he paid $3,600 at that time out the door tax included and that was outrageous price for my Buick special I only pay $2,800 back then and I thought that was a lot but yeah the Buick Wildcat more of the great cars of all time

That is a special car, rare and built to the factory maximum. Looks great, drives great, very cool owner, lucky man Dennis! Good one Lou!

Really nice Buick. Buicks the gentleman sleeper 💪

Very beautiful car Lou!!!! Amazing..

Very nice don't see too many around anymore love the factory wildcat wheels and can't go wrong with a duel quad 401 nailhead

Another great video Lou love watching your channel. I dont see many Buick Wildcats at the car shows around where I live. I dont think that I have ever seen one with a 4 speed manual before.

Neat old Buick, nicely restored.

Very nice!

Beautiful car. Love the interior styling!

Very nice Wildcat! Thanks Lou!

Lou, My uncle had one of these and it was great. His too was a 4 speed and like the Olds Starfire, they would pass everything except a gas station. My uncle's car was a maroon color with black interior. It was nice like this one. You just don't see these anymore. Sure wish they would make them again. I'm a big fan. Treat this baby right and thanks. This is when quality went into the car, not just stamp them out for profit.

Looks like an absolute joy to drive! I'm jealous!

It's wonderful seeing this car is such great condition. As a teenager I would drive one of these from the U.S. to Mexico City every summer, and usually alone. The Wildcat was a tank, but suffered performance issues at altitude, as most carbureted do. It seemed like the people who owned these big Buicks didn't take the greatest care of them.

Lots of nice chrome on this without being overdone including the interior pieces....very nice! If I’m noticing correctly, it looks like this has power seats as well. Very cool Wildcat Dennis has! Thanks Lou for a great presentation!

Awesome Lou, absolutely awesome buddy! 👍👍🤘✌🏻

Goodday Lou, That is one gorgeous gorgeous breathtakingly beautiful Wildcat. The whole colour combo is all class. Great find again Lou, you always never seize to amaze. Waiting for a 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III, favorite Fomoco. Back to the Buick, alot of people back in the day would of underestimated this Buick at there peril.

Hi guys! I love your automobile. Thank you.

Love it!

What a car! What a Buick!

I had a 63' LeSabre but four door, black, with three on the tree and the 401. Just a two barrel carb but she would fly. My favorite thing about her were those super cool vertical tail lights like on your Wildcat. Fantastic machine, just beautiful! Would love that four speed and a two door in that model or this Wildcat.

Truly beautiful car very unique look
