This is one beautiful 69' Buick Electra 225. The lady just moved into the area from Maryland after her husband died and brought this with her. Low mileage and never been touched in any way. She told me that she never drove it in the rain or snow. and it was always garage kept. I had to take the wheels off my 70'Lesabre. Only because the Electra kept calling for them.

So i assume that by taking off wheels and switching them that this is now your car?

If this is in fact your car then, it is beautiful. I like the no window posts and how the front bumper wraps around the fender. Goodluck.

Your probably correct, as I am not very knowledgable about electras, and I forgot about the 430 engine:Dou:

That is one "fine" looking automobile. You sure you didn't just drive it off the showroom floor? Amazing how some people can keep 'em lookin' brand new. Good find!:TU:

Wow!:eek2:

That looks absolutely yummy! Not my favorite year for the 225, but it's so well preserved it just sparkles.

That is such a great find!. Looks like it came off the floor. Btw how much did you pay for it? Also How long are these electras?

Like the name says Electra 225 . A little over 18 ft. long

As for price i feel it was a steal at $4600 :grin:

224.9 inches actually. They are great big land yachts that go fast. I just sold a 69 Electra with 9000 original miles and full documentation. I do miss it though. With 4 kids 10 and under it became another car that I couldn't give enough attention to. Had it out once in about 18 months. It sounds like a fair price for the car. The market for these big old Buicks is not very big.
