With a name like Electra, this car is sure to be an interesting lady! The lady in question is Buick’s full-size offering from 1959 to 1990. Produced over six generations, the Electra was named after a Texan sculptor and socialite called Electra Waggoner Biggs. This lady was, incidentally, the sister-in-law of then-GM president Harlow H. Curtice. This lady must have been quite a charismatic person, because the Lockheed Electra airliner is also supposedly named after her! That’s why we’re sure that you’ll find this 120,000-mile 1970 Buick Electra 225 to be an interesting and characterful American classic car to own and drive. We’re told that all maintenance is up to date as well, making this car a great buy.
This yellow 1970 Buick Electra 225 comes from the third generation of the marque, and sits pretty on its wire wheels. You’ll also have noticed that the car is a convertible, with a black canvas top. Since the Electra was Buick’s top-range full-size car, the convertible top is, as you’d expect, power-operated. So there’s no need to get your hands dirty with deploying or lowering it when needed. Instead, you can push a button and let the electrics do their thing. The four-seat interior of this 1970 Buick Electra 225 is an opulent affair in black with eye-catching yellow piping. There’s some wood trim as well, since wood is always a sign of luxury in the automotive world. The car’s dashboard remains original, right down to the push-button radio, but there’s a more modern Pioneer head unit in the center console, with a USB port and AUX input. There’s also air conditioning and heating, if the choices on the driver side-mounted ventilation system control panel are all functional.
Powering this 1970 Buick Electra 225 is a massive V8 that displaces 455ci and is factory rated for 370 horsepower. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a 3-speed TH400 automatic transmission for that signature laid-back driving experience that befits a full-size car of this ilk. However, it uses drum brakes, so you’d better be smooth with your driving. Who wants to hustle a large luxury car anyways? It's always better to prolong the journey and enjoy the ambiance.

With the 50s and the land yacht era coming to a steady halt, cars were now geared to be smaller and more performance-oriented, but what if you weren't ready to embrace this change and wanted a good old American machine that sports all the luxuries and uber cool design? The Buick Electra was the one to go for. With its iconic looks and class, the Electra ensured the old-school land yachts lived to fight another day and stand out from the crowd. Present today is a diamond in the rough and a true survivor of the 60s reported to be a numbers-matching vehicle, this 1961 Buick Electra 225 is truly a catch in today's world of resto-modding and trying to stand out.
The Electra was Buick’s nameplate from 1959 to 1990 for its flagship, full-size luxury car offering. Taking over from the Roadmaster, six generations of Electra would see the light of day. The name Electra was based on a person, Texan sculptor and socialite Electra Waggoner Biggs. No doubt it was also helped by the fact that Electra was the sister-in-law of then-GM President Harlow H. Curtice. This 1974 Buick Electra 225 Limited that we've got for sale is a fourth-generation example with 100,497 miles on the odometer and a slice of what Seventies luxury motoring was like.
Buick’s Gran Sport or GS badge was applied to several of the brand’s high-performance variants of models such as the Skylark, Riviera, Wildcat, Century, Apollo, and more. Since Buick was meant to be a luxury brand slotting in just beneath Cadillac in GM’s hierarchy, the Gran Sport badge represented the sportiest luxury car from GM, since Cadillac did not do sporting machines. Up for sale today is a fully restored 1969 Buick Gran Sport 350 with a total 77,364 miles on the clock and only 500 miles reported since its comprehensive makeover. The car also comes with some interesting updates, making it easier and more pleasurable to drive.
As the latest vehicles give you the utmost convenience and performance that you can imagine, classic cars continue to fill our hearts with nostalgia and a driving experience to remember. This 1965 Buick Special is one such example that takes you back to the ʼ60s when roads were filled with art on wheels. When it comes to vintage cars like this, it is difficult to find an example that is untouched. One of the main highlights of this Buick is that according to its current owner, it is all original. With memories worth 105,000 miles, this classic is now residing in Albany, New York. There is no doubt that this beauty will be a perfect Sunday cruiser and an attention grabber at classic car events.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
Ford has the Mustang, and Chevrolet had the Camaro. Back in the ’60s, it was a winning duo for consumers, with the two frontrunners in the pony car race battling on both backroads and race tracks. Our featured 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is a fine specimen just waiting to go to a new home. It features a striking blue exterior, a well-kept black interior, and a 383ci stroker V8 under the hood. This immaculate classic has reportedly been subject to a recent motor and transmission install, which means it should offer a trouble-free ownership experience to whoever is lucky enough to take possession next.
Now in its third generation, the 1980 Chevrolet Corvette (or C3) was coming to the end of its life. But this typically American creation still had a lot to offer, with the solid underpinnings of the C3 ’Vette and the gorgeous Mako Shark II-inspired bodywork. Launched in 1968, it was still known as a serious alternative to the best that Europe had to offer. Our featured car includes a 350ci L48 V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission and features several upgrades to improve not only reliability but performance as well.
The first generation Ford Mustang was made from 1964 (known as 1964½, until 1973. Over 1.2 million units were made, so getting your hands on one isn’t as hard as you might think. However, finding an immaculately restored example is much harder. Thankfully, we’ve got a 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible Restoration for sale. This 66,161-mile car has been given a thorough do-over by Fantomworks as reported by the current owner. Now, the car sits peacefully in Leesville, South Carolina, waiting for its new owner to pick it up and cherish it.
