I drove a '73 Buick 225

[Windflier]

1966 Buick Wildcat

I owned one of these in 1974 when I was 20. Got it from the old lady next door, who thought it was 'possessed'. Seems the car had accelerated out of control on her one day, and she smashed the front right quarter panel into another car.

Neither her son nor her husband could figure out what the cause was, so the car just sat. I offered her $150 for it, and she gave me the pink slip.

I quickly figured out that some knucklehead had turned the air cleaner housing the wrong way, which caused the throttle linkage to become stuck. Turned the air cleaner the right way, and bingo. No more 'demons' .. LOL. Paid a local shop to put a new front right quarter panel on it, and she was good as new.

It was a great car, until a drunk illegal plowed into it while it was parked.
