Vehicle Details

This is being offered as a project car as I do not have a battery and it does need brake work. All brand new brake parts are included as well as a new master cylinder and new fuel pump.I have videos of the car running and driving for anyone interested.

I took this car on trade and I am thinning the her.

Buicks engineering and design departments were given free reign on its design for 1962. What came about was a car that was low, long and lean, a cleaner styling change from the bulkier cars of 1959 and 60. Buick's greatest engine of the time would be called upon to power the rolling art. The "Wildcat 455", Buick's 401 "Nailhead" cubic inch V8 that boasted 325 horsepower from the factory. Buick transferred the power to its 3 link live rear axle via its Turbine Drive 2 speed automatic transmission which provided nearly seamless gear changes.

The 1962 Buick Electra here comes is finished in Regal Black exterior paint over red vinyl interior. The car does feature its "Wildcat” V8, 2 speed automatic transmission and rear wheel drive. Vehicle highlights included: power steering, power brakes, power top, power windows, power seat, interior trim decor, tissue dispenser, exterior trim decor, retro AM / FM radio, front and rear bench seats, stock original dash and gauges, original washer bottle, and a trunk that can sneak as many friends as you dare into the local Drive-In Theater.

The car shows no evidence of any major body repair and paint is believed to be original. The only rust is on the driver side rear quarter as shown in the picture. The black exterior paint some minor expected flaws here and there, the exterior chrome stainless steel trim remains in excellent original condition. The interior remains overall very original and tidy with patina on the original pieces.

The Electra 225 Convertible is an important car that was built for important people. With factory stats of a top speed of 115 MPH and 0-60 times from 10 - 11 seconds, it added punch to its elegance. These big iron Buicks of the early 60's remain very popular as they are easy to own, a pleasure to drive and make an excellent summer top down cruiser.
