Background Story of this 1965 Buick Electra

Overview of 1965 Buick Electra For Sale by Owner

The 1960s were an era defined by style, performance, and presence—and the 1965 Buick Electra 225 Convertible embodied all three. With only a reported 54,240 miles on the odometer, this well-preserved example is powered by Buick’s formidable 401ci “Wildcat” Nailhead V8 paired with a 4-barrel carburetor and a smooth 3-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission. Finished in an elegant white exterior with a black vinyl interior and matching black convertible soft top, it rides on classic 15-inch steel wheels adorned with full Buick chrome hubcaps. Power-assisted drum brakes at all four corners ensure confident stopping, while rear-wheel drive delivers the traditional, commanding driving experience of a full-size American luxury convertible. A true gentle giant of its time, the Electra 225 blends muscular underpinnings with refined comfort.

Exterior and Interior

There is no denying that this 1965 Buick Electra 225 Convertible is what the internet and car folk refer to as a “Land Yacht”, a walk around can clock in a mighty amount of steps on your smart watch, but it is a walk that will include stops to examine every detail this classic American car has to offer. Dressed in a lovely white exterior, the exterior color of this '60s beauty helps make its already large design more significant. On closer inspection of the exterior, you would find a clean exterior that hasn't been fettled with to stand out; this Buick Electra is all factory looks without pretending to be something else. The black convertible top, all the car's chrome, and even period-correct hubcaps are in place to push out that factory aesthetic. Step into the '60s in all its glory and quirkiness, look around, and you are treated to a factory interior cabin complete with all its features and styling intact. Get comfy with leather bench seats and the sight of wood and nickel instantly creates a perception of luxury and class, a quick peek at the rear and you even have space for more family and friends to tag along for the ride.

Engine

Complimenting all that excess in terms of size and luxury is the equivalent of excess in cubic capacity - it really is the good type of excess. Pop open the hood of this 1965 Buick Electra 225 Convertible, and what you will find is a 401ci Buick “Wildcat” Nailhead V8 engine ready to bring out a whole lot of smoothness to your drive experience. Speaking of smooth, the current owner reports a front A-arm suspension system and a rear 4-link coil spring suspension system to iron out the road ahead. This classic channels all its gentle performance to its rear wheels through a 3-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission.

1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$46,488

The Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
