Buick Wildcat II is a recreation that represents an eight year labor of love and obsession.
This Buick Wildcat concept car would make anyone believe that it is the real thing. At least at first sight. But, the original one is housed in the Sloan Museum’s Buick Gallery in Michigan. And while it may be just a replica, it doesn’t mean it’s any less awesome.
Ken, the owner, has had Buicks since 1966 when he firt bought himself a new Riviera. From that day, he is hooked on them and he refuses to let them go. After he finished a complete restoration of a 1953 Skylark, he starting thinking about his next project.
The folks that designed the original Buick Wildcat II based it on an early Chevrolet Corvette. So, Ken had so started there – he searched for an early Corvette frame and body.
