Here at Barn Finds, we love it when readers spot a classic for sale, then take the time to make us aware of it by submitting a tip through our website.  Unless it’s a vehicle a member of our team located, we also always want to give credit in our posts to the person who found whatever car we’re writing about, and this 1969 Buick Wildcat here on Facebook Marketplace is no exception.  Unfortunately, the tipster didn’t include their name, so if that’s you, please know how much we appreciate your sharing this cool sedan with us!  I sometimes hesitate to pose the question if an auto may be the nicest one left of its kind, but this Buick’s a beauty, and to say it’s at least a top-tier example certainly sounds reasonable.  Head on over to McKinney, Texas, to check this one out in person, and bring along $11,000 if you’re prepared to pay the full asking price.

Regarding the condition, the owner deems this one an amazing original, then provides us with a history lesson about where this Buick has resided in the past.  The story goes that Canada was once the car’s home, followed by a move to Seattle, which is where the seller purchased it in 2021.  Wildcat buyers who waited until 1970 to visit their Buick dealer got a 455 as standard equipment, but the 430 found here is almost as strong, offering 360 HP, just ten less than its successor.  The big block is said to run great, and it’s easy to believe when the seller mentions that this one is a blast to drive!

Although times have changed, green was a very popular color for autos in the late sixties, and it worked especially well on the larger body style cars from this period.  A few small dings are mentioned on the exterior, which are believed to have been touched up years ago as they happened, but the sheet metal appears to still be in excellent condition overall.  The only obvious blunder present is a dent near the bottom of the passenger-side front door, but it’s fairly minor, and I’m spotting no clues that there’s rust hiding anywhere outside.

Both the green color and fine conditions continue once you step inside, with everything appearing stock right down to the B-U-I-C-K letters on the factory Sonomatic AM radio’s push buttons.  An exciting event in the seller’s life that he mentions is recently inheriting his great-grandmother’s 1969 Chevelle, and he’s eager to get started on its restoration with the funds that will be gained from selling this Wildcat.  Are you tempted enough by this Buick to consider helping him out?
