The Wildcat was a Murray bicycle in the early 1970s. It came in 3 versions: single speed with coaster brake, internally geared 3 speed with caliper brakes, or derailleur equipped 5 speed with caliper brakes.

This clown massacred the fork, but you can get an idea of what they looked like from this.

The Murray Wildcat was my very first new bike when I was a kid. Single speed w/ coaster brake and front caliper brake. Color was red faded to yellow. I think it had a sparkly red seat.
This is the only pic I could find of one on the net.
