As you look over this coupe, here's plenty of evidence that this has led a cared for life with correct maintenance and upkeep, ut not so much that it ruined this car's original attitude. The real attention is in the details, uch as how nicely the big hood and deck lid fit. Buick's designs were coming into the modern era during this time and had done away with gratuitous chrome on their cars. This makes the big bumpers, rille, nd iconic portholes impressive standout styling elements. But what really sets this car apart are the '60s sporting touches, uch as the wire wheels, lack vinyl roof, nd the original Gran Sport badging.Nothing feels as '60s cool as the moment you sit down in the red vinyl bucket seats, rab the gearshift, nd rest your arm on the center console. Every piece of original trim is still in place, rom the chrome on the door panels, o the Buick crest sitting below the dash. The interior has pristine seating for five, ut the driver gets all the real treats. The stylish red Buick steering wheel sits in front of the big original gauges. You'll love all of the accessories that still look fresh from the factory, ncluding the heater/defrost controls and the AM radio, hat still spells out B-U-I-C-K in the preset buttons.Under the hood you'll find a numbers-matching Wildcat 445 V8 named after its torque rating. An interesting marketing approach, hese engines actually displace 401 cubic inches and were topped by a freshly built carter four-barrel carburetor that provides reliable startups. Regardless of the name, his powerplant advertised an impressive 325 horsepower. The Wildcat is hooked up to a dual exhaust system, ut unlike the brutish muscle cars, his is a sophisticated animal.
