| The non Y48 / single quad carb engine was rated for 360 hp. The "465" sticker on the air cleaner denoted the torque rating. |

|
| The Y48 option included ONLY the dual quad carb option. It was delivered in the trunk and dealer installed.
The GS package also included variable rate suspension springs, heavy sway bars, quick ratio steering box, 3.42 axyl ratio and switch pitch turbohydramatic 400 transmission |

| The 66 Buick Wildcat GS has a much larger production than you realize. I have seen a few as 850 and as many as 2500 as production figure. The 2500 figure was the researched opinion of a current owner. |

| 1966 Buick Wildcat |
The 1966 Buick Wildcat remained much of the same with an addition of the Wildcat Gran Sport option that was only offered in '66, and included a chrome-plated air cleaner, cast aluminum rocker arm covers, dual exhaust, heavy-duty suspension, Posi-Traction rear end, and GS identification plates for the front and rear. This engine and performance option was known as the Y48, A8 or the Wildcat 465 and was rated for 380 hp. A very rare option with less than 25 believed to be produced.
