For Sale: 1960 Buick Electra in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

With its striking red paint, gleaming chrome bumpers and trim, and elegant white convertible top, this 1960 Buick Electra 225 Convertible embodies the era's grandeur. The Electra 225 sat at the pinnacle of Buick's lineup, and this drop-top showcases why with its blend of luxury and style. The vibrant red body is complemented by the powder-coated 15" wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 whitewall tires, while an extra set of hubcaps adds a touch of classic flair.

The red and white leather interior invites you to settle into the split-bench seat and soak in the vintage atmosphere. The column shifter and removable console add a touch of convenience, while power windows offer a taste of luxury uncommon in convertibles of the era. Although inoperable, the original Sonomatic AM radio maintains the authentic feel, but fear not - a hidden Bluetooth system with a subwoofer ensures your favorite tunes are always on hand.

At the heart of this Electra 225 lies a numbers-matching 401 V8 engine, topped with a single 4-barrel carburetor and bearing the coveted "Wildcat 455" callouts on the air cleaner. Paired with a smooth Turbine Drive transmission and a 12V electrical system, this Buick offers a refined driving experience. Power steering and power drum brakes at all four corners make navigating and stopping a breeze, while the dual-to-single-to-dual exhaust with a transverse muffler provides a subtle yet distinct soundtrack.
