Now you KNOW I had to show off this shifter!

Kind of a reversed four speed (angle of shifter).

I haven't researched the car much as my wife got cancer shortly after buying the car but it is really different from most Buicks that I have had over the years.

Usually a Buick is loaded with options but not this one.

Either the original buyer was a skin flint or maybe it was a stripped out car for posting performance numbers that year (ok, I'm dreaming "a little" on this last one).

Manual brakes,manual steering,manual tranny,no radio,one big single exhaust (thought all Wildcats had duals ), no tach,no air, just a plain Jane lookin Buick with a 401 (never confirmed, guess it could be a 425, need to check,if I ever have time these days ) and a Factory Hurst shifted 4 speed.

Betcha they didn't make over 25 (maybe less) when you crunch the numbers option (or "optionless" wise).Almost sold it a couple months ago but guess I'll keep holding on to it one day for my sons or daughter .............(nah, for Daddy!).

Ok, it's 3 AM time to see if I can go back to sleep.
