Above: From cardomain.com "I have had this car for ten
years. I have also replaced the 300 v8 engine with a Wildcat 340 engine
that has a four barrel carb on it. When I first "restored" the car I decided to
put dayton style rims on it. Well, after my wheel came off on the highway (!!!!)
I have decided to switch to a more reliable NON KNOCKOFF style rim.
Anyways, i installed 3 tv's 17 speakers, three amps and most recently I added a
stainless steel banjo steering wheel from Grant Products."

Above: FIBERGLASS bodied
prototype. "A 1964 BUICK WILDCAT 2DR HT PROTOTYPE LUXURY LIGHTWEIGHT-This car
never went into production. It was designed by Billy Mitchell and Harley Earl,
but when GM decided not to build it, they sent it to be destroyed. It wasn't.
The car has power windows, power seat, power steering, power brakes, power radio
antenna, cruise control, tilt wheel, AM/FM Radio, factory a/c, bucket seats with tach mounted into the console, auto and a 401 Nail Head V-8. It is painted a non
factory color and has only 3,893 actual miles! It is beautiful and original. And
now for the good part, with the exception of the 2 doors and the roof, the
entire car is fiberglass!!! It is 800 pounds lighter than the standard Wildcat.
This car is entirely documented. It runs and drives unbelievably. It is a full
size factory prototype lightweight muscle car. "
Update: This vehicle has been donated to the LeMay museum. Read more here:
