Description

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.

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.

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.
