Shown here is a beautiful, one owner 1973 Buick Electra 225 coupe. General Motors was established in the year 1908. Buick was among the first models offered for sale by the newly organized General Motors and was marketed as both a higher end family vehicle as well as a businessman's personal vehicle. Many different models were publicly offered over the years by Buick and this particular model, the Electra 225 was produced for more than 30 years from 1959 through 1990. The Electra 225 was a higher end offering which could be obtained in a two door, four door, convertible or a station wagon configuration.
Until obtained recently this year, this 1973 Buick Electra 225 two door coupe was a one owner car, purchased locally from Bartlett Buick. Babied and garaged its entire life, it is one of only 9,224 Electras produced in 1973.
Having been driven only 10,559 miles during its fifty years of existence, the total yearly average mileage driven was 211 miles per year.
The sleek body and chrome are all original and appear to be in showroom condition with absolutely no deterioration. Atop the Artic white factory paint is a jade green vinyl top in remarkable condition and matches perfectly with the jade green colored interior.
The engine compartment is clean and fresh. It houses a 455 cubic inch engine which has a four barrel carburetor and produces a respectable 250 horsepower and 500 foot pounds of torque.
The interior of this beautiful Electra 225 coupe appears new and in undamaged condition. Sitting behind the wheel of this beauty, the luxury appointments are so crisp and correct you are seemingly taken back in time to the year 1973.
Power equipment includes power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, power windows, locks and seats, cruise control, AM/FM stereo and so much more. If you are looking for a luxury coupe to have for those cruise nights, or a gift for that special someone born in 1973, don't pass this one up. It's definitely worth your while to stop in and satisfy that urge. It will be time well spent.
