Whoa, 1970 and gotta go. Someone really "made it" in the world when they drove this home in 1970. Yup, it's hot here too. Nothing like doing a piping hot oil change on a 2021 Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi as I had to do yesterday for a relative. At least I had his height (6'8") to pour the oil in, as I had to stand on a milk crate to reach the oil fill and dipstick. LOL. Yes, some "B" body parts interchange across divisions, but more commonality came with the 1971 and up cars (although there was a fair amount of uniqueness during that time with regard to parts as well). We got the VIN, we win: 4 for Buick, 66 for Wildcat Custom, 67 for two door convertible, 0 for 1970 model year, X for Fairfax, KS assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Fairfax plant closed in early 1987 and today's Fairfax II still operates under GM. We got the tag, we can brag: ST70 for 1970 model year, 46667 for Buick (4) Wildcat Custom (66) two door convertible (67), X for Fairfax, KS assembly, 465 for Pearl White interior trim, 48 for Sherwood Green lower exterior paint, A for White convertible top, and 09A for the first week of September 1969 production. Whoa Nelley, the 'Cat will soon be flat. 455 and not soon to be alive. In rust we do not trust. That's it, time to quit. Lots of junk in the trunk. Drop top took a big flop. Division 4 and soon to be out the door. "It's Been a While" (Staind/Break The Cycle/2001) and this one is ready for the pile. Please don't get squished because the "B" body Tri-Shield faithful, many here, and yup, the Google Man are all going to be very, very, very pissed.

@googleusergp Was 70 the last year for the Wildcat? I changed the oil in my Caprice yesterday and bought the Walmart brand that says it will last 20 thousand miles or one year 🙂🙃 Usually, one month is when I change it.

@@garymckee63 The Wildcat ran from 1963 to 1970. The Walmart (Supertech) branded oil is made by Warren Performance Products and is very good oil for the price. It is fine when used in the right application and changed when it should be. My 2024 Corolla says the oil can go 10k between changes, I'm cutting that in half to 5k with of course full synthetic (Mobil 1 0W-8 as WPP doesn't have 0W-8 yet). The car has just under 3k miles and I already changed the oil and filter. It gets "free" maintenance at the dealer for two years, but I did it myself and I plan to do everything myself as I always do. The Ram required 0W-40 oil so I went with Mobil 1 at Advance. My cousin's employer paid for it, so I just went to the shelf and got the oil and an OEM filter. The oil was cheaper at Walmart, but he wanted to do it yesterday, so we just went to Advance to get what we needed. I had to wait because the engine was piping hot. LOL. I just recycled the oil this morning at the station where I learned how to do vehicle inspections. The shop was originally a Texaco shop (I didn't work there, the owner just let me use the machine), now it's an independent Quaker State lube center.

Dang, that’s a rare one! Used to see lots of Electras and LeSabres but almost never a Wildcat convertible. We had a 4 door 1970 LeSabre, it had vacuum powered door locks which I always thought was kinda weird. Had a 350 4bbl that ticked like a time bomb lol!

I can't believe cars like this are still around to even wind up in the junkyard in 2024! I thought they were all junked by now and the few survivors were restored. I'd have thought someone would save a car like this for parts for the few others that still exist.

Cool to look at but sadly they let her sit and completely rot away for several decades probably wasn't that old when they parked her. .Idk why but unless the Buick is a wagon of any vintage I don't like them same with Olds and Pontiac but this car in this condition probably makes a Buick lover very sad . But I rarely see classics at the pick your part here which is good but it's got over 300 later model bmw's and even more late model Nissans .
