1-owner family estate
New tires & exhaust
Re-chromed rear bumper

This is one of the finest 1962 Buick Electra 2-dr Hardtops in the country! It has always been garaged and maintained as a driver. It was special ordered in the rare Camelot Rose Metallic paint with silver interior. It has full documentation, stack of original receipts. Recent professional carb rebuild, new starter & solenoid, new muffler, recent brakes, new DieHard battery and all new white wall tires. This car was local and has no rust. We do not salt roads here in the northwest and get amazing survivors such as this one family owned Electra 225 that was kept inside a heated garage. The original aunt & uncle owners had no children, and back seat was rarely sat in. It was hardly driven the last 15 years. It has been freshened up and sports a recent, almost flawless, show quality first new re-paint, 2 stage with clear coat. This was an extremely straight and rust free car to start with. This is a rare and once in a life time opportunity to get the top of the line Buick luxury sport 2 dr hardtop powered by the first Wildcat 445 V8… in a rare color… deep metallic quality new paint.
This car is amazingly smooth and quiet on the road, with a ton of power. It burns no oil, and has no leaks, runs smooth and shifts fine. A rare example ready for show or weekend fun!

A full length bright strip crowned the upper body ridge, while the tower rocker molding and wheelhouses were accented with bright trim. Wheelcovers had a gold accent ring. Interiors were of the finest cloth and vinyl.
