hi guys . purchased my 72 Buick Electra 225 from Denver last weekend . 1 owner and 40,000 miles in very good condition . loving the car so far and will post pics as soon as i figure out how .
Thanks guys . I struck lucky on this one for sure . Was worth the two day trip up there . Couple of issues to put right like valve cover gaskets and needs a heater core but for the most part I’m pleased. Took it off the trailer and drive it to work the next day
Nice to see you over here from the 71-72 Big Buick Facebook page too, Simon. There is a huge wealth of knowledge here. Please enjoy your stay!
Thanks guys . Been a Buick fan for years but this is only my second . Plan on keeping it original for the most part as much as I can .
BYoung . The interior is about as close to perfect as you can get . I was really impressed how it had stayed so nice and even better , smoke free !
Nice car! They used some amazing materials for the interiors in those cars. It blows me away any time I see the interiors in most all the cars from the 60's and 70's. So much style and class.
Welcome. very nice! Looks like a tight fit in the garage! Which reminds me that the 225 model number means it's 225 inches long. ! Or in other words, BIG!
That was true at first, Roger but by 1972 they had grown to 227.9" in length. By 1975, they were 233.4", mostly from the bumpers.
glad to see it go to a good home. I was on the Denver CL for quite a while. I have seen the car a couple of times around town at the Golden cruise and other car shows. Enjoy that ride.
thanks . good to know you seen the car being used a little and not stored for years . apparently the owner was a real estate agent and used it to take clients around to view houses .
