My 76 225 was stolen from me 8 months ago. She was black with red leather interior. Just beautiful and she's gone. I hope this car goes to a good home. I love those old Buicks

Wow, LOVE seeing these awesome survivor cars of the 70's Bill! This was one of the boldest designs Buick ever did! That tail light treatment was so cool. Man the bumpers were gigantic! That seat cloth brocade was really awful they offered in '75, but once recovered in a cloth or leather one color, would be so fine. Loved those wheels Buick made for so many years. Man - It would be so fun to own this car. 455-wow! You find some great cars Bill!

It's an Electra 225 custom hardtop. SMS auto upholstery may have the original seat fabric. They had it for my 1977 Regal and 1975 Park Avenue. The things it needs replaced or are missing are not available but there are some workarounds that look presentable. I have never found any place that would rechrome those 15 inch 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern type Buick sport wheels. The wheels are very unique the way they were manufactured. The regular steel wheel full wheel covers are beautiful and very heavy. Makes me miss my 1975 Buick Park Avenue. Find it a good home with a big garage!

Very nice. These cars make excellent entry level purchases for enthusiasts who want something affordable to show up with at the local car cruises. A duce and a quarter is never a common site, so would make a very nice addition to the local scene. Those seat inserts are intriguingly ugly……lol!

I love the size/lushness of the grill and the distinct BUICK lettering above it on the 75's. The 76's grill and side marker lights were more refined in some ways but the 75's full width grill is a sight to behold...

@@christianbugatticg I thought I mentioned it previously but don't see it in the comments, so I must have forgotten. Anyway, the hood ornament on your 225 is the 79-85 era hood ornament. The proper one looks like the crest on the trunk badge and wheel covers - with the armored knight head - and appeared all the way through the first two downsized years (77-78). My grandfather bought a new 75 custom four door hardtop (white, with black vinyl top and interior, power "bucket" driver seat, cruise, speed warning, fender mounted sentinel lights...loaded for a "base" except no vertical rear "bumperettes" which I think makes the rear look more menacing than grandpa's 75 looked ). I spent much of my childhood in that car and remember falling asleep b/c it rode so smooth and was comfortable and quiet. Ended up being my first car. Friends called it the "Love Shack" and the "Batmobile." Once fit eight in the cabin (cute girl next to me had to "help" steer ;) My cousin had a 76 Park Ave coupe with a Banana Yellow body and tan vinyl top he jokingly called "the Jalopy." It wasn't, it was stunning. A relative bought a 77 and was showing it off. It's design did a good job of retaining design elements and proportions of the larger cars with further refining them. Still, they had those weird slanted headlight bezels, and were, at the end of the day, nowhere near as GIGANTIC as the 75-76. I once played chicken with a city bus and almost won...

My Dad bought this model in ‘75. Dove grey with a pinstriped cloth interior. We drove this car out to DFW from Ohio to visit my sister and her husband. People would walk up to me (at 14) to ask what kind of car it was. Talk about stunning!! Buick knew about styling. I guess that’s why I bought a ‘73 Buick Riviera (boat tail) in the late 70’s

I always find it a bit suspicious when a dealer "has the body filler panels in the trunk" but doesn't bother to install them. Seems fishy. If there isn't anything fishy there, then install it! It will show better, sell sooner, and most likely for a better price, Dealers already know that, thus, my distrust.

@christianbugatticg

2 жыл бұрын

No need for distrust. As you can see I point out every little flaw. I ordered this ONE filler weeks ago. I got the car completely ready, with a 4 stage paint correction. Last thing I want to do at this point is tie it up in the body shop for them to get overspray all over it. Wasn't sure when the filler was coming, so I couldn't wait around. At this point it really isn't a big deal, like at all. It is there for the next owner to tackle. Another reason for you or anyone to have plenty of trust is, I have run near FORTY cars on Bring a Trailer already with 6 more that I am currently getting ready. Out of those near forty cars, EVERYONE has been 100% and extremely satisfied with their purchase. I do understand your position, "why didn't you just install it"...Well, trying to get a dozen cars ready at a time sometime parts don't come in at that most opportune time. IF you are interested, good luck bidding Allen!

I think you really need to fix the air condition on these cars you sell classic cars because people come and they might need to drive them somewhere and it's Florida and it's really hot and muggy and no air conditioner I think I would fix the AC and charging port of course and put it on top of your surprise but should get the AC fixed always very important in cars nowadays.
