MotoeXotica Classic Cars hopes to interest you in this particular
Buick, a 1969 Electra 225 Custom Sedan. If you're looking for a
Motown-era car to cruise around in with the whole family, look no
further as this one offers lots of possibilities. This particular
example was built in GM's Flint, Michigan factory and offers power
steering, power brakes and functional Air conditioning that blows
cold. Finished in Polar White, this car's paint and trim are in
overall good condition but there are some blemishes visible upon
close inspection. The glass panels are likewise in good overall
shape, with mostly clear and crack-free surfaces, however, there is
a small pit in the windshield. The vehicle's lights are in good
order. The car rolls on whitewall radials with factory hubcaps and
all look good. The chrome bumpers look good on this survivor and
its body panels are straight and solid. It's interesting to note
this model has the vinyl roof-delete option, an uncommon touch from
an era when vinyl roofs grew in popularity. Under the expansive
hood is a 430 CID V-8 engine, sporting a four-barrel carburetor and
a 10.25:1 compression ratio and it is mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic
350 three-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the car's original
green cloth and vinyl interior are in decent condition, as is the
matching carpet but does show some age. The instrument panel has
some blemishes visible near the top center. The original two-spoke
steering wheel is present and in fair shape, as are the inner door
panels, mirror glass and shift lever. Rounding out the inside is
the factory Sonamatic AM radio. This is a great car to throw the
whole family in and go out cruising and not have to worry about it!
The year 1969 brought a major restyling to the Electra 225 and
other GM�B-body�and�C-body cars with somewhat crisper bodylines
than 1965-68 models but continued with the same chassis and inner
body structure introduced with the 1965 model, however the
wheelbase was increased one inch to 127 inches. The 1969s were also
the first to offer headrests as standard equipment due to a federal
safety mandate and the steering column with ignition switch that
also locked the steering wheel with the transmission in "Park," a
feature found on all 1969 GM cars before it became a federal safety
mandate in 1970. Also new was a variable-ratio power steering
system combined with revised front suspension tuning called
"Accu-Drive." Other changes included vent-less front windows.
Standard finned aluminum drum brakes were offered and were
effective. The Bendix four-piston disc brake units were available.
12" x 1" vented steel rotors were coupled with the cast iron
caliper assemblies. Dual exhaust was available as an option.
Available gear rations were - 2.56 economy as well as 2.73, 3.08
and 3.23. A special PX-Code "AC Delete" 3.91 performance gear
option was available. Documentation includes original owner's
manual. Competition to this Buick in 1969 included Cadillac's
Calais Sedan, Chrysler's New Yorker Sedan, Lincoln's Continental
Sedan, Mercury's Marquis Brougham and Oldsmobile's 98 Holiday
Sedan. This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis,
Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 44,814 miles. It is
sold as is, where is, on a clean and mileage exempt clear title.
