Pretty Rare Car from what I have found. Was told about 1000 were made for that year.
Brought in from the USA as this car was never sold in CND.
63 Buick Electra 225 in great shape low clics, runs amazing - not sure of the true value as Hagerty seems to have a very wide range on this one -

Always stored in a heated garage, only taken out on sunny days!
I am in BC - Vancouver Island. Can assist with shipping to Bellingham WA, if a US buyer is interested. You can drive this car home.

They aren't often seen today.

The popular 1963 Rivieras have been preserved

and restored, and are available in quantities at any

time, but a 1963 Electra of any body style is seen

only once in a great while.  You might see only one

or two excellent examples come up for sale within

a year.

 

It's yet another case of cars disappearing, and no one noticed.

And collectors don't follow these cars much, so prices are

only moderate.

Agree, however, I think a Wildcat convertible looks terrific!

This one has some things going for it but some not going for it --- for $21,000 US.  Bucket seats console is a +.  BLACK bucket seats console is a -.    Leather needs a lot of love but is original, this is a driver class 63 convertible, a $10,000 to $12,000 car.  I know, I know, I am super cheap but I purchased these drivers for a 15 year period for $2,000 to $6,500.  

 

What is my incentive to pay  4 x that for this car?
