It underwent a no expense spared, body off frame restoration and was driven only 1,265 miles since completion. California and New Mexico rust free body. Meticulously detailed including every nut and bolt throughout! EXTERIOR: Nostalgic cruiser! I absolutely love the fender port holes; 4 ports indicated top of the line. The arctic white paint was applied with great care and attention to specifics. It was then polished to a smooth and slick finish. Looking down the side of the long and laser straight body you will see smooth contours and crisp lines. The panels are all precisely aligned with beautiful consistent gaps that are spot on. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The front of this car is absolute artwork, with its catamaran influenced design. The front grille and bumper both have show quality chrome. All the glass was replaced and the window frames were rechromed. The floating Buick emblem is super cool. The remaining brightwork including chrome and stainless has been restored to a glorious shine. The nautical theme continues with the back bumper and its dual shark fins framing the beautifully sculpted taillights. It also has show quality chrome that reflects like a mirror. Well equipped with an optional spotlight and power antenna. The white power convertible vinyl top looks fresh and clean. Everything is rolling on 15'' steel rims painted red to nicely compliment the interior. The rims are adorned with some of the coolest hubcaps ever and wrapped in reproduction BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tires. INTERIOR: Genuine leather! The red and white leather upholstery is soft and supple on the seats and door panels. I love the pleated stitching and tufted buttons. This Electra features the ultra-rare optional bucket seats with the hard-shell backs and a center console. The backs are beautifully painted red just like the lower dash, steering column, and steering wheel. The rare center console with storage has matching pleated stitching and leather. The interior chrome was also sent to the platers for a sparkling finish. Fully restored power convertible top frame with chrome plated hinges. As pretty as this interior is, it's the massive hooded bar speedometer definitely steals your attention. And the coolest part is your actually seeing the gauge in a mirror that easily adjusts with a dial for taller or shorter drivers. To its left is another dial that adjusts the buzzing speed indicator. All the bezels and knobs are in great shape. The interior chrome was redone and sparkles like jewelry. On top of the mint padded dash is a working optional clock. Power windows and seat make life easy in this luxury ride. To make life even better a modern stereo is cleverly concealed in the tissue dispenser! ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Gleaming! The Wildcat 401 Nailhead engine looks totally fresh and makes a powerful 325 hp and mega 445 ft lbs of torque! It is equipped with power steering and power brakes. The battery is properly secured and the horns are hooked up. The windshield squirters are also hooked up and it has the correct Buick glass washer fluid bottle. All the hoses and belts were replaced. The radiator was rebuilt and it has a new clutch fan plus an electric fan mounted in front of the radiator to keep it running cool. The firewall is painted body color and the underside of the hood is complete with insulation. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid is painted slick, the sound deadener inserts look new, the latch is new, it has a reproduction jack instructions sticker and a working trunk ligh
