1969 Buick Wildcat Custom build. Sold it.

[ktmoutfront]

The future goal would be later drive train, so I can hook the 1968 boat on the back and run down the highway at 75mph.

6.0, 4l80e (been done)
5.3, 4l60e (been done)
4.8, 4l60e with a turbo or 2.

No need to be a drag racer or pro street racer. A nice driver is the goal.

Very cool. I had an old 71 Skylark I put a GS455 in. Great car, I have a soft spot for the old Buicks.

The only reason I even considered buying it is, I owned a 1966 Buick Wildcat in high school.

My first car I bought at 14 in 1980...a '65 Wildcat.

 

[ktmoutfront]

I had the same one in white.

Does the '69 still have the switch pitch TH400?

I wouldn't worry too much about the title unless your state requires it. I just moved from GA and always seemed to be horse trading vehicles. GA doesn't require titles on vehicles that old. I've registered stuff with a bill of sale written on a napkin. The state DMV has an official bill of sale form you can download that will be more than adequate.

65 to 67 only. So no.

Has a Georgia title. Need to get the VIN verified at a dealership. And a "statement of transfer" signed. Should be good to go.

Why do you need a verification if you have a title?

 

[LeoneSM]

I'm guessing that's a requirement of wherever you're trying to register it. GA sure doesn't require it. AL does - I was surprised when I moved. I had to get a deputy to come verify everything so I didn't have to make a pile of trips to the tag office just to register everything. The only time I had to get something verified in GA was a homemade trailer. They gave me a VIN tag and had to verify that I'd attached it.

Regardless, love the Buick. That'll be a fun project

Verifying the title is for that car.

did someone say Buick power?

 

[ktmoutfront]

My brother has the same setup.

Sheriffs office or State Popo can also do a VIN check

Drove a 66 in highschool. Wasn't in high school in 66. Also drove a 59 t-bird. A 23 t-bucket. A 67 Chevy truck. A pan head Harley. And many other cars in high school.

No, I did not use chisel and Hammer to take notes in class.
