My 1966 Buick Electra 225
My Duece and a quater. It's got 74500 miles on it with no major work that has had to be done. Engine is a 454 (7.44l i think, for those who can only visualize in liters). My great grandmothers originally. Sat in a garage for twenty years only to come out for parades and stuff. Brought it home to houston at the beginning of june last year. So much fun. Had the top replaced a while back. I have some pictures of the interior on another role that i havent developed yet. This was high-class back in the day. Power top, power windows, power seats, leather, everything. The 225 stands for 225 inches, which makes it about 4 inches longer than a chevy avalanche. Maybe i'll take on side by side with my civic. Comment if you want, just though i would share.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah actually, it can smoke a lot of ricers. I pulled up next to the mythical v6 mustang "GTR" and gave him a couple of revs but no bite. It weighs 6800 pounds but it can still get up and move when it needs to. But i usually just cruise, at least 5 under so everyone can have a look-see.

Yeah... thats a cruisin ride... just roll so everyone can have a look. I wouldn't put dubs on it, but I might get some sort of plain old rim that looks better than those.... oooooooooooor get some hydraulics

Rep Power: 0 I was being completely sarcastic about the dubs. i dont plan on doing anything to it other "different". I'm keeping it with all original look, or at least so it look original.

i'm getting my great grandparents old 82 coupe deville either the end of next year or the beginning of next, when they decide to get rid of it. it's a hot ride khaki color, khaki leather. when my great grandpa was alive he garage kept it half it's life and daily drove a rusted out impala.
needs a little detailing but no major problems. oh the rides going to look sick when i get my hands on it.
