After a new styling treatment in 1967, Buick’s Wildcat received an upgrade in the power department for 1968 in the form of an all-new 430 CI 4-barrel big block V-8 rated at 360 HP and a massive 475 lb-ft of torque thanks to a new valve design and other internal design improvements. Finished in Crystal Blue Metallic with a Blue interior, White top and wire wheel covers, this restored 1968 Wildcat convertible combines that strong powerplant with a 3-speed automatic and Positraction while offering occupants the extra amenities to which Buick drivers have long been accustomed, including power steering and brakes, power windows, locks and trunk release and a tilt steering column.
