I have for sale a very good running and driving 1961 Buick Electra 225 Convertible. Fairly rare car. The car has a rebuilt (by the previous owner) original 401 Nailhead V-8 engine. The brakes are good and has good radial tires with correct hubcaps. In 1997-98 the motor was rebuilt, new top, new paint, rechromed front and rear bumpers. Lots of receipts for additional items replaced. The car has 63,154 original miles. The top is very nice and does work with a little help on the up swing. I'm pretty sure the pump only needs more fluid. The seats were also redone in '98 and are nice and very comfortable. The dash has cracks in the center. The door panels and rear seat quarters are in good shape. Carpet is decent but worn. Clear guages. Nice black top boot and car cover included.
The chrome and stainless is average but shine. The car needs painted and does have some paint bubbling. Some rust is showing along front fender upper horizontal trim as shown. The floors seem very solid when your heel is applied. Trunk floor has severe surface rust, but I have found no holes. The underside is very decent looking with some surface rust present.
The car does start right up and the 401 provides a smooth and powerful ride. The car has good acceleration and braking. The exhaust is good and the ride is pretty quiet.
The following are currently working: top, all 4 power windows, speedometer, fuel guage, the guages are reflected into an adjustable mirror so as to allow for taller and shorter drivers and is working, speed warning, radio, lights and taillights, courtesy lights, glovebox light, temp guage, day/night rearview mirror, all 4 turn signals front and rear and their dash indicators, headlights and highbeams. The following do not work: wipers, power seat, driver's master power window switch, horn. Both door sill replacements are included.
Overall, this is a very classy and fairly rare 60's convertible. The car is really long and low. At 225 inches long (that's where the 225 comes from), this '61 Buick is an impressive car indeed. Plenty of room for 5-6 joyriders. Be the only one at your car show with a 1961 Buick Electra 225 convertible!!
Please feel free to ask any questions. Car is sold in as-is condition. Personal inspection is encourged.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790
Fri, Jul 21 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.
