    Wow! I didn't realize those were worth that much. A good friend of ours recently received a 62 Electra 225 convertible that was restored like 25-30 years back but sitting in a barn since.

    Well Keith, you know the old saying....."It's only worth what someone's willing to pay" We'll probably never know what this car will bring.

    This is a hard one, the car is awesome but lacks any kind POP from color combination and the lack of options on an Electra definitely isn't going to help it any. Definitely a car you would like to own, but not one that lights a fire to make you want to own it.

    I think this would be closer to a $15k car...

    I agree with that Adam, if it was a flashy color and well equipped it would do probably closer $18/19K. Proper size whitewalls would help it look more right as well. Sadly they did not offer an Electra 225 in the 2 door, just convertible and six window 4 door hardtop

    Pretty...wish it had more options for the kind of money he's asking.

    Yes, there are very few options in that one. One of those cases where they really could only afford a nicely optioned Invicta but cut back on the Grandkids Christmas gifts so they could squeeze into a basic Electra

    This one is optioned (or actually not optioned) pretty much the same way as mine.

    The white walks make such a difference

    Mine has the "incorrect" Electra 225 wheels, but I prefer them over the original Electra wheels. Plus my whitewalls are "oversized', lol, but the combination works for me. :>)

    I noticed, but the wider whites look far more correct that the narrow ones on the one for sale. Throughout the years various models had the next step up wheel cover or a fancier cover as an option, were the 225 wheel covers available as an extra cost option on a regular Electra?

    I am not sure if they were an extra cost option or not.
