Beautiful Unrestored 1962 Buick Electra 225 Convertible - LOW RESERVE

 

Here is the story on this car. It has been in the same family for its entire 52 years. It was purchased new by my Father In-law in 1962 from Masson Buick in beautiful downtown Camden NJ. The only alteration that I am aware of is my father in-law had it repainted the original color in 1976. I received possession of the car in 1996, and had the motor completely rebuilt in 1997 (275 miles since then), new brakes (2011), and a new battery (2013). It has the original paperwork, books, key, seatbelts, repair manuals. The interior is incredible for a 52 year old car with only 2 small seams coming apart on the sun visor, and top of driver side seat. I also have a few extra parts for the car that I got at a junk yard if ever needed. Parts for these cars are impossible to find.

This truely is a sweet car and a true survivor that has always been garaged, and is a super rare and desirable car in this original condition. This is the car to have if you want to feel like an instant celebrity. It's the ultimate cruiser and it gets more attention and appreciation than any exotic or new luxury car could ever get. This beauty is a rolling testament to the glitz, glamour, innovation, and prosperity of the 1960’s. Nothing beats the fun of driving this '62 Electra Convertible as this car feels like it floats on air, and great for cruising or showing, and a real head turner. This Beautiful 1962 Buick Electra 225 has been meticulously cared for since day one. It is not a perfect car but is an absolute must see in person to believe how beautiful this survivor really is. Check out the NADA value on this collector car.

You are welcome to come and inspect the car as it is located in Southern New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia. I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge. There is no guarantee/warranty, sold as is.

 

It's loaded with the following equipment and everything works: 401ci Nailhead V-8 Engine Wildcat, Automatic transmission, Power Seat (Works), Power Top, Original AM Sonomatic Radio/Power Antenna, Power Steering; Power Brakes Power Seat,  Power Windows, Speed Alert  Indicator,  White Wall Tires, Original Paint Color, Original Leather Interior, Air Conditioning, 401/325 HP engine ,Dynaflow automatic transmission, Chrome and Stainless is Excellent.

Buick confirms US-market Envision CUV to be built in China

Fri, Dec 4 2015

As expected, the Buick Envision will come to the US market in 2016, and as rumored, it'll be GM's first product imported from the People's Republic. Buick confirmed the news today, while also releasing a number of technical details on the mid-size CUV, which has sold nearly 130,000 units in the Chinese domestic market in the first 11 months of 2015. When it arrives in US dealers next summer, the Envision will feature a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder EcoTec four-cylinder. Good for an estimated 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the four-pot turbo is paired to a well-received six-speed Hydra-Matic 6T70 transmission. That's the same automatic gearbox that's offered in the turbocharged Regal and Regal GS and the current six-cylinder LaCrosse. The entire affair is underpinned by torque-steer-fighting HiPer strut front suspension, a crossover first for Buick, with a four-link setup in back. According to Buick, the Envision will also get the same Active Twin Clutch all-wheel-drive system being offered on the Cadillac XT5 and the new LaCrosse. Like the Chinese-market Envision, Buick is offering the USDM model with active grille shutters, LED running lights, LED taillights, heated front/rear seats, a heated steering wheel, 19-inch wheels, and a Bose stereo as standard. Buick also lists highlights like Active Noise Cancellation and an eight-inch IntelliLink infotainment system, although it's not clear whether these are standard features. There's no word on which auto show the Envision will debut at. Considering the timing, next month's Detroit Auto Show is a strong contender, although if Buick wanted to really drum up headlines ahead of its on-sale date next summer, it'd formally introduce its newest CUV in April, at the New York Auto Show. Either way, expect to see more of this handsome, Chinese-built CUV soon.

It was awarded Motor Trend SUV of the Year in China and has 127,085 sales so far this year. When it goes on sale in 2016, it will play an important role in a crossover lineup that currently represents 60 percent of Buick sales in North America. It targets customers shopping between the Encore, the best-selling Buick in eight years, and the Enclave, which has continued to grow its customer base since its 2007 introduction.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
