Buick Wildcat II gallery (1965–1970)

The second generation Buick Wildcat debuted for the 1965 model year and remained in production through 1970. Riding on an updated General Motors full-size B-body architecture, it gained dramatic coke-bottle exterior styling with sweeping body contours. Available body configurations included a two-door hardtop, two-door convertible, four-door pillared sedan, and four-door hardtop. Powertrain offerings initially carried over the 401 and 425 Nailhead V8s, replaced in 1967 by an all-new 430 cubic inch (7.0-liter) big-block V8 producing 360 horsepower. For the final 1970 model year, Buick introduced the massive 455 cubic inch (7.5-liter) V8 generating 370 horsepower and immense torque. The standard transmission was the heavy-duty three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic. A notable performance option was the 1966 Wildcat Gran Sport package featuring upgraded suspension and dual exhaust. After regular yearly restyling updates, production ended in 1970 when the model was succeeded by the Buick Centurion for North American buyers.
