Description
Please read the information before ringing, if i don't answer, leave a message, i wont ring back if there is no message. Offered is a 1959 Buick Electra 225 four door flat top one of 10,491 produced. In original unrestored condition it has been in my family ownership for 20 years and registered in Ireland since 2018. It would qualify for barn find but it is better than that, whilst it remains completely unrestored, in 2018 I fitted four new coker tyres rebuilt the brake master and replaced the front wheel cylinders, I also fitted a new water pump and fuel pump along with belts and thermostat. Since which time it has driven a total of less than 100km. I believe the 68000 mileage to be original all the signs like wear on pedals and trim indicate this to be the case. Mechanically it all works and sounds fine the engine and gearbox are very smooth, brakes work but do pull to the right (believed to be the left rear not working as efficiently as it should). Only oil leak is a gearbox leak from the speedo drive output. Rear exhaust silencers have holes so it sounds louder than it should, the rest of the exhaust system is good. Being an Electra it has every option except AC, this includes the rare triple turbine gearbox, power front seat, power windows including the quarterlights, power aerial(not working properly) self seek radio, auto diming head lights, Cigarette lighters front and back. As it is in unrestored condition it does not look at its best however it is a very good starting point for a full restoration, alternatively some like the as found condition. It was undersealed from new so the floors and body are very good, it does have rust in the cills(rockers) passenger side front needs about 10 inches repair and the rear 4 inches. The drivers side seem to only need the rear 4 inches repaired. There is also some rust in the passengers front wing lower. There is surface rust on almost everything on the car but it is all solid.
