This 1975 Buick Electra limited 2 door coupe, is a dream car for the avid restorer.To be perfectly clear this vehicle needs restoration.My grandfather’s company purchased the car new in 1975. My grandfather then bought the car from the company in 1978 and my family has owned it ever since. The car was used and running up until 2003 when my grandmother purchased another car. When parked the car had no known mechanical issues.
The car has been parked underneath a car port since 2003.The car has not been started since 2003. The car has been exposed to sunlight on the rear and left side of the vehicle.The wiring might have been exposed to packrats.The interior is well taken care of including the leather seats, except for one small tear on the back seat.The engine currently has 90,635 miles on it and was smooth running when last used.
The following specs were listed when it was new. The vehicle does not run now.
