It was a beautiful car. I honestly believe that its Samon color probably made it worth more than it would be as any other color.
A friend of mine in high school, who I recent heard passed away, had a 1963 Buick Wildcat convertible, that had a 4 speed manual transmission,light gray body with black convertible top:
Either prior to that, or after that vehicle, he had a Jag xke convertible. Can't really rember, but I believe it was before. I think he bought it before he even got his liscense. I think reliability was the issue that made him get rid of it, possibly for the wildcat. Too many years ago to be certain anymore. 😁🤙
