'63 Electra 225

I suspect an AMT kit. I used two Ebay buys to make one kit. 
Mocha brown interior, Tamiya Light Gunmetal, BMF and chrome pen for the rest.

Parts bin radiator, shroud, battery. Scratch built the M/cyl and booster. Ditto the power steer pump.

I need to add a washer bottle.

Nice job.

Very nice.

One more Buick for the collection. Great job Chris

I remember buying this ‘65 Buick in ‘66 - as if it were yesterday.
I built it stock, left it in white gloss plastic with a black roof.

I have GN kit I got cheap, looking for the wheels an arch extensions to make a GNX.

Roomer has it the FBI ordered loads of them, I think the V6 was up to 300 bhp with some help from McLaren and was easily faster than the then current Corvette.

That's the kind of Buick I'd love to have Chris even with the 4 speed auto.

I'd settle for almost any of them, but one is enough ATM.

I read somewhere....how can a kid that grew up playing with hot wheels be expected to only have one car at a time as an adult.

Words to live by.

Lately I talked with a man who drives a white 225 ragtop! It's a later '60s example. I asked him about getting replacement parts for this oldie. He rolled his eyes and said he'd put in a new modern engine and despite being a land yacht she goes like a bear, and gets good mpg!

Another great job Chris.

Ron... I'd forgotten all about the 65 'cat. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
