As the muscle car era entered, several car manufacturers like the Chevrolet, Chrysler, Pontiac, and Ford notably produced large displacement engines to answer the call for big and lean cars. Shortly after, Buick followed with their version of rev-pumping vehicle.
As the years progressed so with the increase of production of the Buick Wildcat. The 1966 model had 68,584 units made, a considerable increase from 1963 production of just 6,021 units. At this year, the Wildcats was basically the same from the previews year except from the addition of the Wildcat Custom which included a deluxe steering wheel, padded armrests, plusher seat materials, and custom bucket seats. The engine was upgraded to 401 V8, 425 V8, and the most powerful among the three, the 425 V8 (2x4) that can give up to 380 hp.
