If you were to ask any of us here at Streetside Classics which car in our showroom is the biggest bang for the buck, more than a few of us would say this 1968 Buick Wildcat Custom. It's one of those special GM executive cars with unique features, and it's just a fantastic piece of luxury muscle with all the right features.
There was nothing more dramatic on the road than the Buick Wildcat in 1968, with Buick's trademark sweeping body lines and chiseled good looks. Thanks to a high-quality color change from rather plain Code W Silver Beige Mist to red-hot Sunburst Orange, this Wildcat got a new lease on life, and it now garners all the head-turns it always really deserved. No more overlooking this vintage rockstar. The paint job was solid, as there aren't any signs of the original color anywhere to be seen, and even though it's not a spectacular show-car, this Wildcat is a killer-looking driver with off-the-charts curb appeal. It's two-stage urethane, so the shine is deep and clear and thanks to great care since it was done, the imperfections can largely be forgiven for the 'Smiles Per Hour' sure to gained. I know I'm grinning ear-to-ear just writing about it. Buick was big on drama, so there's a deeply recessed grille, cool gills on the front fenders, and an impossibly sleek roofline that makes the 2-door hardtop design one of the coolest ever made. The chrome and stainless trim is all likely original, adding a nice, bright bling to the already shiny presentation. Sure, there's a little patina to it, but there's no part that stands out as too nice or too shabby to be on this car and since it's original, you know it's crisp and authentic.
The Code 498 '3 seat' black interior is where the Buick executive separated itself from the herd, offering a comfortable and sophisticated cabin that feels more like a traveling cocktail lounge than a means of conveyance. Many Wildcats used cloth seats, but thankfully this one was born with custom Strato bucket seats wrapped in black vinyl, and when it was restored they made the smart choice to leave it exactly the same. Those are stock patterns on the upholstery, including the seats and door panels, complete with that super-cool aluminum trim work in the seat backs and door panels. Plush black carpets and a matching headliner complete the look, insulating the cabin nicely, and those Buick-badged vinyl floor mats could very well be original to the car. The wide dash has lots of jewelry, including a wide band of bright trim to give the Wildcat a sophisticated air and yes, it's loaded with options like factory A/C, power windows, and a tilt wheel. For entertainment, there's a retro-style AM/FM/Cassette/AUX stereo radio in the center of the beautiful dash, while the 3-spoke deluxe steering wheel and gauge just ahead of it are all original to the car. The backseat is virtually untouched, there are seatbelts fore and aft, and the massive trunk out back is outfitted exactly like it was in 1968, complete with its original carpet and spare tire and jack set.
Buick's 430 cubic inch V8 was renowned for massive torque production, and the block nestled inside the stock engine bay of this '68 is running like a top. There are obvious signs of a rebuild, although we're lacking any documentation to prove it, and it's running so darn well we have to think it was attended to not long ago. A stock-style Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor lives under an updated chrome air cleaner, bright Chevrolet Orange paint makes the engine and valve covers look fresh, and there are signs of maintenance throughout. The transmission is a Super Turbine 3-speed automatic, which combined with the tall gears inside the 10-bolt rear end out back makes this an incredible highway cruiser that just loafs along with the big block barely breaking a sweat at supra-legal speeds. The original-style exhaust burbles along happily at any speed and the handsome Buick road wheels are wrapped in right-sized 225/75/15 whitewall radials.
Offered with its original factory window sticker, this Wildcat Custom is one of the coolest of the 'forgotten' classics. An incredible value, this beauty will definitely surprise you. Call today!
This car has a clean Texas title with the Remarks: Rebuilt Salvage - Issued by WI which was issued in 2001 and had to pass safety inspections or other jurisdiction procedures, to ensure the vehicle met required standards.

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
