Vehicle Description
New family cars just aren't the same any more. Big 6-passenger
sedans of the past have been replaced by tight fitting, economical,
airbag-infested all-terrain toys. Actually, it's quite a good thing
that they're not the same anymore! But this bad boy is everything
you remember from the glory days. Big block 455ci engine, room for
six to fit comfortably on large front and rear sofas, and a ride
that floats over all the potholes. As they used to say, "Nothing
rides like a Buick". And this Buick is as original as it gets. You
can still play Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison on the 8-Track.
This car runs, drives, and looks beautiful in every way. With only
two previous owners, it has been garaged and cared for, still
believed to be wearing its original paint (except a couple of
touchups), as well as its original interior. And what a beautiful
interior! The pleated crushed velour seats invite you to sit back
and relax. The doors are in like-new condition, protected from the
sun's fade. And showing less than 48k miles, there is hardly any
wear.
We have put it out on the road and it makes good power and handles
like it should. All the lights are working as they should. The
doors and truck open and close with a solid feel. The doors close
with ease and the body is solid showing no signs of rust.
This Electra 225 Limited shows a small amount of patina for its
age, but is otherwise a remarkable unrestored time capsule. Contact
