Body off frame restored! Gorgeous factory triple black with
gleaming chrome. It is especially clean underneath. We got this car
from a gentleman that collected strictly Buick Electras from around
the country. This is one of the best anywhere and the 225 Custom is
the top of the line.
EXTERIOR: It is a stunning car to look at. The Regal black is like
a mirror, you could read the owner's manual in the reflection. All
of the chrome and trim sparkles. The owner added 15 inch new old
stock chrome Buick mags with new radial tires with a wide white
stripe. I'll start up front and work my way back describing it. The
bumper is show quality chrome, the grills, headlight bezels, trim
on the front edge of the hood and fenders, emblems look like new.
The hood and fenders fit square and flush. Paint has a glass
finish. Both sides of the car are straight and look like mirrors.
The rocker moldings, door handles, trim is excellent. The glass is
all crystal clear. The stainless moldings around all the glass is
polished like chrome. The vinyl top is like new. The trunk fits
right, has glass finish. In back the big bumper, tail lights,
moldings look practically brand new. The jambs are slick paint,
clean door bottoms, new weatherstrips. I am very impressed with
what I see. Other then a few minor touch ups and the remote mirror
is very good not new, this car is slick!
INTERIOR: It is excellent inside too. Looking in the back seat
everything looks pristine. The seat, side panels, speaker deck, any
chrome or plastic trim; it is all like new. The front seat and door
panels are just as nice. Headliner, visors look new. Carpet is new,
has Buick floormats. The entire dash pad is mint, no cracks. The
bezels, gauges, vents are excellent. Seatbelts are excellent.
Steering wheel has some cracks and the woodgrain decal is faded, we
are trying to locate new woodgrain. Other yhen that it is a really
nice interior.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: A big 455 with 370 horsepower moves this car
with ease. It's full of accessories- power steering, power brakes,
air conditioning and cruise control. All of the components,
brackets, hoses, wires are in excellent condition. Everything looks
stock, no custom changes. It is detailed to show condition. The
bottom side of the hood is clean metal painted satin black with new
hood insulation, the squirters are even hooked up. Correct finish
on the hinges. The firewall, inner fenders, radiator support is all
perfectly smooth metal with a nice satin black finish. The nuts and
bolts are all clean, not painted over. The radiator looks to be in
excellent shape, has new hoses, proper shroud and clutch fan. The
air conditioning system has been serviced and updated to R134
freon. Alternator, wiper motor, blower motor, brake booster all
look like new.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Rock solid, it is completely boxed and carpeted.
It has a brand new tire for a spare on a painted rim. The jack is
restored. The bottom of the trunk lid and jamb is smooth gloss
black, weatherstrip is new.
UNDERSIDE: Wow, it's nicer under here then I expected! No rust, not
greasy or grimy. It looks like a 6 month old car. It had a body off
frame restoration. The metal is spotless, no rust. Really, it's not
even pitted. Look at the bottom of the inner 1/4 panels, it's
spotless. It all has a smooth semi gloss finish. Up front the
steering and suspension is all new. Even the grease fittings are
clean. It has the big Buick finned brake drums, new springs and
shocks. The bottom of the motor is spotless. Every bolt, wire,
bracket is super clean. The trans is the same way, looks like it
was installed yesterday. U-joints look new. Has a stock dual
exhaust with quiet flow mufflers and resonators. Air shocks in
back. Fuel tank looks new.
This is a very classy looking car. The quality surpassed my
expectations. 1970 was the peak year for horsepower, making this
the year to have. I dont think you will find a better one!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
