Only the biggest in Buick power would suffice for this car, which is why the âNailheadâ OHV V-8, a favorite of early hot rodders, was specified.
Displacing 401-cubic inches, the huge engine had hydraulic valve lifters, four-barrel carburetion, and a compression ratio of 10.25:1. That led to a rated output of 325 horsepower. The engine in
this Electra 225 Custom was rebuilt about 2,000 miles ago, a process that included a.030 overbore of the block so that is now displaces 407-cubic inches. New pistons and hardened valve seats were installed at the same time. Also added was a galvanized exhaust system with dual resonators.
Itâs said to start without issue. The Super Turbine 400 (Turbo Hydra-Matic 400) three-speed automatic transmission has recently had its fluid and filter replaced, and shifts normally, according to the seller, who reports no leaks from the powertrain. The engine bay presents as stock and clean, with new ignition wires. The Buickâs body was stripped and repainted in 1991 in the original factory color
of Astro Blue. NOS front fenders were installed during the repaint. A few small rust spots were replaced with metal when the Buick was repainted; no body filler has been used.
About 90 percent of the carâs trim is NOS and looks to be in very good condition. The long side moldings, which also run across the standard factory fender skirts, appear to be straight and free of kinks. A new white convertible top has been fitted, which is leak-free and has a new boot.
