1967 Buick Electra Base Hardtop 4-door 7.0l on 2040-cars

Year:1967 Mileage:153801
Location:

Houston, Texas, United States

Houston, Texas, United States

I have owned this Buick since 1988. It was originally a Florida car, spent some time in Ohio (never saw snow or salt though), and is currently in Houston, Texas. I had restored it after I first got it, and enjoyed it for a number of years. Other obligations over the past few years and I have not been able to keep it up like I would like to have. We are also in the process of moving, so it might be time to let it go.

This is a 1967 Buick Electra 225 4 Door Hardtop. It has Power Seat and Power Windows, and a Speed Alert that buzzes at you when you reach a specified speed. It originally had an AM radio, which I still have if you are interested, and a Power Antenna. All were working at the time I dropped it off at my mechanics shop (where it still is) with a knock in the engine. We have not determined the cause of the knock, so we do not know how serious it is. This is the original Buick Big-Block 430 - 4 Barrel Carb, engine it came with, complete with dual exhaust. When running well, this car has plenty of power, and can cruise at highway speeds without blinking an eye.

I know this car will need some work, but is a good solid base to start with. While I would like to sell the car, I do not feel the need to give it away either. If it does not sell, I will just hang on to it until I can afford to work on it again.

It is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early with the right offer. Those bidders with less than 10 rating will need to contact me before bidding. I have a clear title for this car. $500 deposit due within 2 days after the auction close, and I will accept Paypal for the deposit. Total remainder due within 7 days unless other arrangements are made prior to the close of the auction, Title will not be released until all funds are cleared, and certified funds are preferred. Shipping of the car is the responsibility of the buyer, but we will help in any way we can. Car must be removed within 15 days of funds clearing, unless other arrangements are made prior to the close of the auction.

Please contact me with any questions you may have, and I will answer all questions honestly regarding this car. I have owned it for 26 years, so I know this car well.

 

Thank you for looking.

Question of the Day: Coolest factory-supercharged car?

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Last week, we discussed possible engine-swap recipients for the plentiful-in-every-junkyard Eaton-supercharged GM 3800 V6 engine. The Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs that came with that engine from the factory were reasonably cool, of course, but when you look at all the production cars that have been available with supercharging over the decades you can find some pretty amazing stuff. My personal favorite has to be the Paxton-blown Studebaker Larks of the early 1960s, partly because the Lark was just about the stodgiest-looking, sleepiest little sedan available in America, possibly the most ridiculous recipient of a howling force-fed V8 imaginable, and partly because of the name of the optional supercharged 289-cubic-inch V8 you could get in the Lark: Jet-Thrust! What do you say is the coolest factory-supercharged car of all time? Related Video: Auto News Buick Automotive History Performance Classics supercharger questions

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
