This automobile truly is a part of Buick automotive history. Body & Paint The body is super straight in its original color. The car looks like it may have had a respray in the past but looks like it’s been done correctly as a nice and clean job. It does have a few blemishes here and there like some scratches on the passenger side door and driver's door as you will see in the video. You can rest assured there is no major dents, dings or rust anywhere. The doors open and shut effortless reflecting the sunlight shining well and looking good. Interior The upholstery of this car is in excellent original condition. The seats were covered in a plastic that the original owner had placed on the car since day one. I recently took them off to show the quality and condition of the seats. The carpet is in superb shape with no staining or rips. There are no signs of any malicious wear or tears on seats or carpet. The door panels as well are in great shape looking great as well as the dashboard with no cracks. The car is even equipped with A/C. All the A/C components are there, the blower motor kicks on and works but needs servicing and a recharge. The original radio still works and the power antenna goes up and down, just like it should. The electric windows function, just like they should. All of the interior lights and gauges work. The headliner is the only downside will need to be replaced by a professional shop. Glass & Chrome All the glass panels & in great shape. All of the windows are tinted to compliment the car sleek very well. None of the glass is chipped, cracked or broken. All of the chrome is in superb shape with a very clear high gloss. Undercarriage & Trunk Compartment The undercarriage is original, rust-free, & has never been undercoated. The trunk compartment looks great as well with no rust. I am regularly available anytime of the week to show the vehicle & will be more than happy to answer any serious questions you may have. I respond a lot quicker to phone calls rather than emails and text now that that is all out-of-the-way.

rocketraider Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It's gorgeous, but what a schmaltzy ad! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 What a beautiful car! This car is much better looking than the 1970 we had. I liked that 70 a lot but it can't hold a candle to this cars design. The ad sounds like it was written by a used car dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 At a little over $3 per pound it's cheaper than hamburger! Beautiful Electra; I can imagine all of the neighbors gawking in envy as they passed by this car in the original owner's driveway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) In the early 90s I inherited my grandfathers '66 225. He had been living in Florida when he passed away. I drove the car to Michigan with no troubles and was pulled over by the Michigan State Police and received a ticket for the tinted windows such as the windows on this car. I know California doesn't favor this dark of a tint also. Sure brings back some fond memories.

B Jake Moran Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Nice. I’ll read the ad later. But - why oh why does it have all those tinted windows?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 This is a pretty nice car but it does have some minor flaws like a stained driver's seat, a missing RH Electra letter, a somewhat discolored center taillight and the stated AC and headliner issues. Definitely a flip and it's currently listed on Ebay as well without a Buy It Now price. However, apparently this seller has a lot of experience at flipping vehicles and judging by some of the rather lofty prices attained on some of his Ebay completed listings he's been quite sucessful at it. So writing some schmaltzy ads is really paying off, at least for this gentleman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69merc Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 1965 was a great year for GM. Buick benefited as much as any of its siblings. This is a terrific land yacht! The ad, while extra wordy, has lots of helpful info. I think the price is very tempting, but a personal inspection is still important. Good find! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I was so taken back by the beauty of this car that I didn't even notice the tinted windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daily sunshine is relentless in Western Colorado, so it gets very hot. If this Electra is a car from that area, they only way it would have survived this well is to protect the interior as much as possible from the intense rays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
