Vehicle Description
The final year for the massive Buick Electra convertible and the
first for the big 455 V8! This 1970 Buick Electra 225 Custom shows
its luxury credentials in Burnished Brown and has accolades to
prove its quality, including a National 1st place AACA award. The
exterior makes an immediate impact with its long, flowing bodylines
accentuated by brilliant chrome trim. Those signature fender skirts
give this land yacht its distinctive profile, while the
power-operated black canvas top folds away to create the ultimate
open-air luxury cruiser. Factory Buick Rally wheels and 235/75R15
Goodyear thin whitewall tires complete this premium
presentation.
The factory Burnished Saddle interior carries the same upscale
personality with exquisite detailing throughout. The power
split-bench front seat offers an inviting space, maintaining its
original vinyl upholstery in exceptional condition. Door panels
display rich detailing with minimal wear, complementing the
well-preserved dashboard with its symmetrical layout and clear
instrumentation. Luxury amenities abound with power windows, dual
mirrors, and factory air conditioning providing true grand touring
comfort. The column shifter maintains the open floor plan that
gives this Buick its spacious feel.
The massive 455 cubic inch V8 provides ample muscle for this luxury
land yacht. Factory-correct in appearance, this powerhouse sends
its output through the original Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed
automatic transmission for effortless cruising. Power front disc
brakes deliver strong stopping power, while power steering makes
piloting this full-size convertible remarkably easy. New dual
exhaust from manifolds back produces a subtle but authoritative
tone, and the trailing arm rear suspension with air shocks
maintains the proper stance. An upgraded fuel tank sending unit
ensures reliable operation.
