    65 Electra 225 convertible

    I recently purchased a 65 electra convertible with the factory installed dual quad engine - does anyone know how many of these were built? - the left exhaust manifold is broken - where could I find a replacement? - THANKS in advance for any help!

    Thumbs up

    According to Buick's Daily Production Report there were 123
    "48467" Electra convertibles equipped with the A-8 Super Wildcat engine.

    Nice find.

    I've got several manifolds here - $25 plus shipping from 45214

    '65 Electra 225 - dual quad

    Ted - THANKS for the info on the number of '65 Electra convertibles with the dual quad engine - do you have a website address for this info? - I was able to find a manifold here in South Dakota locally - we just finished the exterior paint and under hood detailing - ready for summer, but that's a few months off here yet - I am looking for a complete '64 dual quad engine (pan to aircleaner) to restore a '64 Wildcat convertible
