Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and extremely rare and desirable fully loaded with factory options top-of-the-line 1960 Buick Electra 225 401/325HP 4BBL V8 4 Door Sedan with it's original 401/445 Wildcat engine in great daily driving condition and boasting an older but very professional repaint in original 'Pearl Fawn Metallic' (factory code P) color paint with its original factory specification 'Fawn' Brisbane Cloth (trim code 833) bench seat interior and also included are the original owners manuals from the selling dealer of 'Vandergriff Buick' of Arlington, TX from where it was sold and originally delivered to it's original Fort Worth, TX owner on 7/20/1960 who later sold the car in 1960 to the grandfather of its most recent owner who had owned the car since 1960 until passing it on to his son and from father to grandson. The new owner will inherit the touching story of the cars history direct from the family.
The Buick Electra was marketed by Buick as 'The Ultimate in Buick Luxury' and this particular example was sold fully loaded with the rare and desirable options of power steering, power brakes, power windows ($108 option), 6 way power seats ($97 option), safety & lighting package, padded instrument panel, deep pile carpeting, front & rear armrests, electric clock, Sonomatic AM radio with power antenna ($99 option) heater & defroster ($99 option), soft ray tinted glass ($40 option), super deluxe wheel covers and air conditioning ($430 option) and with it's original 401 c.i. 'Wildcat' 4 barrel V8 engine with dual exhausts! The 401 cid V8 with a single 4 barrel carburetor had 445 lbs of torque, hence the legendary '445 Wildcat' engine was born! It came only with a Turbine automatic transmission. This car was one rare blend of size and performance before the muscle car era! The original standard factory options included the highly desirable High Performance 401 c.i. 4 barrel V8 engine, Turbine transmission, Power steering, Power brakes, Rear seat speaker, Dual exhausts, Oversize whitewall tires, electric clock, rear floor lamp, deluxe steering wheel, wheel covers, tachometer, Brisbane cloth & vinyl bucket seats, consolex, custom bright metal exterior moldings and wheel well moldings.
The Buick Wildcat engine arguably powered Buick's first performance cars and began Buick's quest for power and even lended its name to several Buick engines of the mid sixties and Buick engineers adjusted the suspensions to improve the handling of the Wildcats. Standard power was the Buick LT401 cid V8, rated at a strong 325 bhp. Although this engine was also available in the regular Invicta line, the Wildcat came with a standard 3.42:1 rear end. A 4.45:1 rear end was optional for those wanting even more drag strip performance and a high-performance 325 hp (242 kW) version of the 401 cu in Nailhead V8, known as the Wildcat 445 for producing 445 ft lb of torque.
The 401 cu in (6.6 L) 401 was Buick's muscle car powerplant of choice, and was found in the company's Skylark Gran Sport and Buick Wildcat, among others. As unlikely as it seems, the air cleaner for the engine is annotated with "Wildcat 375" "Wildcat 410" "Wildcat 445" these inscriptions indicated not the cubic inches displaced but the ftlbf of torque produced by the engine. The "Wildcat 410" was the 2-barrel carbureted engine that was standard on the 1962-63 LeSabre. The "Wildcat 375" was a no cost option on the 62-63 LeSabre that had lower compression to run on regular fuel. Another Buick V8 had "Wildcat 375" written on its air cleaner but it wasn't a "Nailhead", it was the 4-barrel version of the 66-67 small block Buick 340. The "Wildcat 445" had a single 4 barrel carb. It was the standard engine on the Invicta, 1959-66 Electras, 1962-66 Buick Wildcat, 1963 Rivieraand 1965 Riviera (the 64 and 66 Riviera models had a 425 in engine with a single 4 barrel carb. named "Wildcat 465" as standard equipment).
This particular 1961 Buick Electra 225 4 Door Hardtop Sedan boasts the 401/445 example engine and is a rare fully loaded example with both power windows and air conditioning and in very fine condition throughout - obviously an always garaged and cherished car since new. The car looks extremely impressive with an older professional repaint in it's original 'Pearl Fawn Metallic' color and its original matching 'Fawn' cloth interior and carpet. The original 401 c.i. 4 barrel V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be appreciated - does not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day sports car a run for it's money! The transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the car has four new correct 815 whitewall tires and the car has it's original spare wheel and jack still in the trunk! The Electra 225 nameplate was a nod to the latter car's overall length of over 225 in (5,715 mm), earning it the street name "deuce and a quarter."
The Electra 225 Riviera was the top-line model and it shared its six window hardtop roofline exclusively with Cadillac (which offered it on all of its models). The two-door convertible was only available as an Electra 225, and the 2-door hardtop as an Electra. The Electra 225 convertibles were trimmed in leather. Standard Electra features included horizontal Red-line speedometer, two-speed electric windshield wipers, trip mileage indicator, cigar lighter, dual sunshades, Step-On parking brake, dual horns, Twin-Turbine automatic transmission, Foamtex seat cushions, electric clock, trunk light, glovebox light, power steering, power brakes, full wheelcovers and dual exhaust. In addition Electra 225s had Super Deluxe wheelcovers and an outside rearview mirror as standard equipment. Padded dashboards were also standard.
The 1960 Electra and Electra 225 received a minor facelift with a concave grille and horizontal headlights centered by Buick's then-new 'Trishield' logo, which is still in use today. Reintroduced to Electras and other Buicks for 1960 were the chrome Ventiportsfirst introduced in 1949 and last seen in 1957. Electra and Electra 225 models featured four VentiPorts on each front fender while lesser LeSabre and Invicta models had three VentiPorts. Electras featured wider rocker panel bright moldings and the Electra script on the front fenders ahead of the wheelhouse. Electra 225s featured a badge that was circled on the deck lid. The Electra 225 name was found on the front fenders in place of the Electra name.
The Electra, along with the Invicta and LeSabre, was redesigned for 1961 with drastically shrunken fins, and was joined with the all-new compact sized Skylark. Electras featured bright rocker panel and wheelhouse moldings. Four Ventiportsper front fender were a hallmark, with identification spelled out on the front fender plaques. Electra 225s had four 'hash marks' interrupting behind the wheelhouse of the rear fender. Electra 225 nameplates were found on the front fenders. Electra interiors were trimmed in fabric. Electra 225s were trimmed in Calais cloth or leather trim, except for convertibles which were trimmed in vinyl. An optional Custom interior featured leather trim, while another featured vinyl with contrasting vertical stripes and front bucket seats with a storage consolex and power two-wa

The original 401 c.i. 4 barrel V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be appreciated - does not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day sports car a run for it's money! The transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the car has four new correct 815 whitewall tires and the car has it's original spare wheel and jack still in the trunk! The Electra 225 nameplate was a nod to the latter car's overall length of over 225 in (5,715 mm), earning it the street name "deuce and a quarter."
The Electra 225 Riviera was the top-line model and it shared its six window hardtop roofline exclusively with Cadillac (which offered it on all of its models). The two-door convertible was only available as an Electra 225, and the 2-door hardtop as an Electra. The Electra 225 convertibles were trimmed in leather. Standard Electra features included horizontal Red-line speedometer, two-speed electric windshield wipers, trip mileage indicator, cigar lighter, dual sunshades, Step-On parking brake, dual horns, Twin-Turbine automatic transmission, Foamtex seat cushions, electric clock, trunk light, glovebox light, power steering, power brakes, full wheelcovers and dual exhaust. In addition Electra 225s had Super Deluxe wheelcovers and an outside rearview mirror as standard equipment. Padded dashboards were also standard.
The 1960 Electra and Electra 225 received a minor facelift with a concave grille and horizontal headlights centered by Buick's then-new 'Trishield' logo, which is still in use today.

Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and extremely rare and desirable fully loaded with factory options top-of-the-line 1960 Buick Electra 225 401/325HP 4BBL V8 4 Door Sedan with it's original 401/445 Wildcat engine in great daily driving condition and boasting an older but very professional repaint in original 'Pearl Fawn Metallic' (factory code P) color paint with its original factory specification 'Fawn' Brisbane Cloth (trim code 833) bench seat interior and also included are the original owners manuals from the selling dealer of 'Vandergriff Buick' of Arlington, TX from where it was sold and originally delivered to it's original Fort Worth, TX owner on 7/20/1960 who later sold the car in 1960 to the grandfather of its most recent owner who had owned the car since 1960 until passing it on to his son and from father to grandson. The new owner will inherit the touching story of the cars history direct from the family.
The Buick Electra was marketed by Buick as 'The Ultimate in Buick Luxury' and this particular example was sold fully loaded with the rare and desirable options of power steering, power brakes, power windows ($108 option), 6 way power seats ($97 option), safety & lighting package, padded instrument panel, deep pile carpeting, front & rear armrests, electric clock, Sonomatic AM radio with power antenna ($99 option) heater & defroster ($99 option), soft ray tinted glass ($40 option), super deluxe wheel covers and air conditioning ($430 option) and with it's original 401 c.i. 'Wildcat' 4 barrel V8 engine with dual exhausts! The 401 cid V8 with a single 4 barrel carburetor had 445 lbs of torque, hence the legendary '445 Wildcat' engine was born! It came only with a Turbine automatic transmission. This car was one rare blend of size and performance before the muscle car era! The original standard factory options included the highly desirable High Performance 401 c.i. 4 barrel V8 engine, Turbine transmission, Power steering, Power brakes, Rear seat speaker, Dual exhausts, Oversize whitewall tires, electric clock, rear floor lamp, deluxe steering wheel, wheel covers, tachometer, Brisbane cloth & vinyl bucket seats, consolex, custom bright metal exterior moldings and wheel well moldings.
The Buick Wildcat engine arguably powered Buick's first performance cars and began Buick's quest for power and even lended its name to several Buick engines of the mid sixties and Buick engineers adjusted the suspensions to improve the handling of the Wildcats. Standard power was the Buick LT401 cid V8, rated at a strong 325 bhp. Although this engine was also available in the regular Invicta line, the Wildcat came with a standard 3.42:1 rear end. A 4.45:1 rear end was optional for those wanting even more drag strip performance and a high-performance 325 hp (242 kW) version of the 401 cu in Nailhead V8, known as the Wildcat 445 for producing 445 ft lb of torque.
The 401 cu in (6.6 L) 401 was Buick's muscle car powerplant of choice, and was found in the company's Skylark Gran Sport and Buick Wildcat, among others. As unlikely as it seems, the air cleaner for the engine is annotated with "Wildcat 375" "Wildcat 410" "Wildcat 445" these inscriptions indicated not the cubic inches displaced but the ftlbf of torque produced by the engine. The "Wildcat 410" was the 2-barrel carbureted engine that was standard on the 1962-63 LeSabre. The "Wildcat 375" was a no cost option on the 62-63 LeSabre that had lower compression to run on regular fuel. Another Buick V8 had "Wildcat 375" written on its air cleaner but it wasn't a "Nailhead", it was the 4-barrel version of the 66-67 small block Buick 340. The "Wildcat 445" had a single 4 barrel carb. It was the standard engine on the Invicta, 1959-66 Electras, 1962-66 Buick Wildcat, 1963 Rivieraand 1965 Riviera (the 64 and 66 Riviera models had a 425 in engine with a single 4 barrel carb. named "Wildcat 465" as standard equipment).
This particular 1961 Buick Electra 225 4 Door Hardtop Sedan boasts the 401/445 example engine and is a rare fully loaded example with both power windows and air conditioning and in very fine condition throughout - obviously an always garaged and cherished car since new. The car looks extremely impressive with an older professional repaint in it's original 'Pearl Fawn Metallic' color and its original matching 'Fawn' cloth interior and carpet. The original 401 c.i. 4 barrel V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be appreciated - does not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day sports car a run for it's money! The transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the car has four new correct 815 whitewall tires and the car has it's original spare wheel and jack still in the trunk!
