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.
