Seller's Comments:
975 brought about changes in all of General Motors C-body cars. In 1975, all Electra 225 coupes had fixed rear side windows and center posts. 1975 also brought along a newer front end and interior design. Rectangular headlights became standard on all GM C-body cars, along with many others. This supposedly would allow engineers to lower the front end to reduce wind resistance, but this wasn't very apparent with the new design. The Electra received a new metal "egg crate" style grille, which covered most of the front end, and wrapping under the headlights. The grille included running lights on either side. There was a choice of a base model Electra 225, whose trim and appointments were upgraded to the same level as the previous year's Electra 225 Custom, an upscale Limited, and the Park Avenue. The 1975 Electra was also the longest Buick ever built at 233.4 inches (5,928 mm), which is over 19 feet. These cars dwarfed the newer front-wheel drive Electras and Park Avenues in sheer size and weight.Power windows and a power driver's seat became standard on all Electra models in 1975. Also new to the standard equipment list were radial-ply tires. The 1975 Electra was one of the first GM vehicles to offer an Air Cushion Restraint System or "airbag".Inside, a new flat instrument panel (shared with LeSabre, Estate Wagon and Riviera) with horizontal sweep speedometer (silver facing with black lettering) replaced the wrap-around cockpit dash of previous years and door panel trim was revised. The speedometer was scaled back from 120 mph (193 km/h) to 100 mph (161 km/h) and kilometer readings were added. The 1975 Buick Electra Limited got an all new interior.Technical changes for 1975 included the addition of a catalytic converter and electronic ignition to not only meet the stringent 1975 and later emission requirements, but also extended routine maintenance intervals, and improved fuel economy and driveability which was a must in the era immediately following the 1973–74 energy crisis, but also spelled the end of dual exhaust systems and mandated the use of unleaded gasoline as the converter could be rendered useless if contaminated with lead. Axle ratios were also numerically lowered to aid in improving gas mileage. The 455 four-barrel V8, now rated at 205 hp (153 kW), was retained as the standard and only available engine.Consumers at CarPros are able to find attractive vehicles at prices that are typically 10-20% less than they would pay at traditional commission based dealerships.

Yeah pretty ridiculous to not have any interior pics

 

It's very unusual to see a base Electra loaded up like that. Whoever ordered that car really went crazy checking off option boxes, I count 9 just looking at the exterior. Nice lookin' car even in baby blue!

Edit....Not a base model but a "Custom"

 

Here's a link to more pics. The interior is plain but immaculate in White.

Very clean, well taken care of car. Like I said above, lots of options checked off on this one.

 

Nice car...but couldn't the guy who ordered it spent a few bucks more and bought the Custom trim package?

 

Looks like a beauty, and like everyone, price is strong for a Custom although at least it’s nicely equipped. They messed with the color in the photo’s, the right shade can be seen in some of the closeup shots such as the wheel shot.

 

What’s that on the grille? Remnants of a bug / stone guard Air deflector?

 

Perhaps the original owner liked the cleaner look of the base car, then optioned it up the way he wanted? Were the white seats available with uplevel packages? Nice car, about perfect in my book except for the price.

If you look close at I think the 2nd and 3rd picture you can see it has a clear bug shield

 

The white was available on the Limited but not the Park Ave

 

That is a very nice car! But the price seems a little high...

 

A little easier to see the bug shield on a PC, but Damm! you have a good eye for detail!

 

Was that a factory color

 

Glacier blue i red. Very nice, how many year do you think they used it?. Do you remember the color of Duane's 68 or 69 that was just built?

 

Nice car. I hope they get the full price they are asking. Maybe I will then put up my '75 Limited Coupe with 24,800 miles for sale. Anyone interested?

 

I look at Philips second picture and i wonder how people did not fall asleep all the time driving on those big pillow cushions.....

 

The Park Avenue Has the "real" pillow seats.
