1972 Buick Electra 225 Custom 2-Door Hardtop
IMPECCABLY ORIGINAL SURVIVOR IN FABULOUS CONDITION
JUST OVER 50K ORIGINAL MILES
ORIGINAL SANDALWOOD TAN PAINT OVER SADDLE LEATHER
RARE LIMITED TRIM, 2-DOOR COUPE WITH VINYL TOP
455 CI V-8 ENGINE/3-SPEED AUTOMTIC TRANSMISSION
HIGHLY OPTIONED, SPECIAL-ORDER EXAMPLE
A/C, AM/FM, POWER SPLIT FRONT BENCH, PB, PS, PW
TILT WHEEL, POWER FRONT DISC BRAKES, FULL-SIZE SPARE
FRESHLY DETAILED & READY FOR ENJOYMENT
Representing the top of Buicks model lines since 1959, the Electra was totally restyled for 1971, along with the B-Body full-size cars offered by GMs various automotive divisions. Larger and offering even more passenger space than before, the new Electra range was led by the Electra 225. While formerly denoting the model lines generous 225-inch overall length, the 1971 iteration actually measured 226.9 inches. Production would continue with select updates through 1976, prior to the famous downsizing of full-size cars from General Motors. Given their outstanding ride quality, powerful large-displacement V-8 engines, and uniquely driver-focused approach to luxury, these high-end 1971-76 Buick models continue to be appreciated by marque collectors and enthusiasts today.
Specially ordered when new from Baker-Williams Buick in Kentucky, this fabulous and impeccably preserved original survivor retains its gorgeous factory-applied Sandalwood Tan paint finish over Saddle leather upholstery. Just 50,065 miles are indicated at the time of writing. Features and options are many, including air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, standard power front disc/rear drum brakes, power steering with tilt column, a power split front bench seat, and power windows. The rare 2-door hardtop coupe body style is further enhanced by a smart vinyl roof covering. Ample power is delivered by Buicks proprietary 455 CI V-8 engine, factory-rated at 250 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 360 foot-pounds of torque at just 2,600 engine revolutions. A column-shifted 3-speed automatic transmission delivers the power to a highway-friendly 2.73:1 rear axle. Outstanding documentation includes the build sheet, dealer brochures, owners manual, and service records. Accompanying items include the full-size spare wheel/tire, roadside jack and lug wrench, and a car cover.
This Electra 225 Custom 2-door hardtop is one of 37,974 examples produced for 1972; however, high-quality, original examples are exceptionally scarce today. Of those survivors, precious few, if any, are as original and beautifully preserved and presented as this true, collector-grade example. Freshly detailed by The Last Detail, it is ready to collect and enjoy. Find out more by contacting us to see it for yourself, obtain full details, and take a test drive today!

Bidders with less than 5 feedbacks must contact us prior to bidding. If you do not contact us, we reserve the right to cancel your bid without notice. Please do not ask our reserve price, simply bid what you are comfortable with.
Your winning bid is a contract to purchase the vehicle, not a "come, look, and negotiate." This is a serious auction for serious buyers only. Please ask all relevant questions prior to bidding. All vehicles are sold as-is. By placing a bid, you are agreeing to these terms of sale.
Winning bidder must communicate with Seller by phone within 24 hours of the end of auction to make arrangements to complete transaction.  If no contact is made, we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next highest bidder, or sell it otherwise.
If you are not comfortable with this, DO NOT BID!
As-Is:
The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase.  The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale.  No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely.  It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.  Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle.  There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or issues to said vehicle once it has left our premises. We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later.  Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”.  However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles.  Please inquire if you are interested.
Mileage:
Vintage cars in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. The Last Detail makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown and accepts no responsibility for any discrepancy with independent reports such as CarFax, Autocheck, etc. Unless the vehicle is advertised as an original mileage car, do not assume that the mileage/odometer reading is the actual mileage. It is simply what the odometer is reading at the time pictures are taken. MILEAGE IS NOT ACTUAL UNLESS STATED SO IN THE DESCRIPTION! Vehicles are test driven and mileage may vary at time of sale.
