1963 Buick Electra 225 Convertible.
One of the absolute finest examples you’ll ever find!
An incredibly beautiful car with a truly unique history!
Single owner in the USA from 1963 to 2006, after which the car was imported to Sweden. Since then, it has been owned and fully restored by a highly meticulous and skilled enthusiast in Sweden.
Only 80, 245 original miles (128. 390 km) — and you can feel it in the car!
A fantastically restored vehicle where everything has been gone through, replaced, or refurbished with the utmost care and attention to detail.
The entire car has been stunningly repainted in its original color “Grande Red.”
A professional, high-end paint job was performed, with the car fully disassembled and painted in parts for the best result.
The engine bay has been finely restored, and bolts and fasteners have been anodized.
The trunk has been beautifully refurbished, and the car features a black leather interior with a black power-operated canvas convertible top, along with: 4 power windows. Power-adjustable front bench seat. Power steering. Power brakes. Vacuum-operated trunk release. Power antenna. Original radio…and much more!

This is not a patched-up rust bucket — it’s a full restoration starting from a very solid, rust-free base!
The car drives like a dream — apart from the amazing sound of the 401 Big Block and exhaust system, it’s completely free from rattles, vibrations, or odd noises.
The body is laser-straight, and the paintwork is exceptional — must be seen in person!
Professionally oil-treated, wet-sanded, polished, and ceramic-sealed by a detailing professional to bring out that stunning deep shine in the paint.
If you’re a perfectionist in search of a fully restored, truly impressive classic where all you have to do is turn the key, drive, polish, and enjoy — this is the car for you!
