Used Buick Electra for Sale near Conway, AR

This is a very traditional American sedan. It is a big, slow, sloppy handling living room on wheels. Torquey but slow revving 3.8 v6 is never in a hurry to move this boat, and automatic transmission shift points are odd, but maybe worn out vacuum modulator is to blame. For the age, this car has held up very well. the plush carpet and velour pillow top seats are in like new condition. Highway driving is where this car excels, the v6 has plenty of torque to go up hills without breaking a sweat. Soft suspension coupled with tires that have large sidewalls ensure that any bumps are absorbed. Only returns 23 mpg highway, not impressive by today's standards for a v-6.

I think this 1969 Buick Electra 225 is a good car . It drives great handels very good on the road up and down hills and curves and has plenty of power. It is a fun car to drive even for its size. If you keep your foot out of the gas it gets good gas milage.

Have owned 3 72 Electras. 2 4-doors and 1 2-door. Never had any major problems with these cars. The 455 engine is one of the best as is the 400 trans. Tune-ups are a snap.Interiors are spacious and roomy. Great heating and A/C systems. Keep an eye on your vacuum lines around the carburetor. One leak can cause it to idle rough. These cars were very well buiilt and will run forever with proper maintenance. Many people intimidated by the size but they're very easy to handle. Last year before huge 5mph bumpers made mandatory on big GM cars so styling is smoother. Low compression engines (8.5 to 1) means they will not ping on todays super unleaded. If you find a well maintained original example grab it.

You have to love American steel. This 1965 Buick Electra 225 convertible was well looked after prior to my acquiring it 3 years ago. I drove it for 2 years and decided to tear it apart and restore the entire auto. The car has a black exterior and top and a red leatherette interior. It has a 401 Nailhead engine that develops 325 stock HP and 445 ft/lbs of torque at 2,800 RPM through a TBH400 auto trans. It has many factory options including power steering and brakes, top, seats, boot release and antenna. It will be back on the road in time for summer cruise nights and long comfortable rides to places that I have not been to before. This is 1 rare auto!

This was my first car. Bought it in 1988 with 2 friends (all 3 of us foreign students) for $700. Boy we took this car from Columbia SC to Niagara Falls, and all the way down to Batton Rouge, LA. It was in perect condition from the first owner when we got it. 2 years later it was a 'little' banged up. But what a comfortable boat. Loved it.
