1976 Buick Electra Limited

Description

A great classic coupe, a big block under the hood, survivor-grade amenities, and a terrific price all have you thinking about this 1976 Buick Electra Limited.

This coupe was sold new at Jim Simmons Pontiac Buick in Concord, NC. Forty-two years and less than 50,000 miles later, and this classic is being sold in the same town. In fact, you just don't see too many Buicks from this era anymore, especially as nicely presented as this one. It's a shame there aren't more around, because for lovers of the ultra-long American cars, it doesn't get much better than this. The sheet metal has a beautiful style line that starts at the grille and doesn't finish until it reaches that hint of a tailfin. It looks terrific in the Liberty White presentation that is quite factory correct. The way the full-length trim still looks like a continuous line lets you know the car has always been handled with care. You can tell this one was loaded right from Buick with features like the rear fender skirts and blue Landau top. Plus, the whitewalls with Buick Rallye wheels is a great way to finish this total package cruiser.

The blue vinyl half roof looks great on the outside, and it's a preview of the color inside, too. The unique "metallic" undertone to the velour seats gives it a distinctive presentation that only a premium '70s machine can offer. The whole interior looks quite original, and its amazing condition is more evidence of this coupe's careful life. As a full-size machine, it offers spacious seating for six in that unique '70s brand of cool. And the fold-down armrest is there whenever you want to cruise in more individualized comfort. You sit behind the factory wheel, and the full wood applique package here matches the dash to give the whole atmosphere an upscale appearance. Speaking of upscale, you have all the best period-correct options like the power seat, power windows, power locks, and cruise control. Even the original AM radio with 8-track is still on display with its original Buick cartridge. While this looks like a time capsule, there is one upgrade you won't see, but you'll feel it. The air conditioning has been converted to modern R134a to continue blowing cold.

While you've seen plenty of premium features throughout this coupe, the best one is under the hood. The premium Electras received the 455 cubic-inch big block V8 to make sure it has the power and torque to move the luxury Buick. The presentation is so honest, right down to the factory decals, that it would be hard to imagine this is anything but original. This classic comes with all the right cruiser features, like power steering, power brakes w/disc up front, and a three-speed automatic transmission. So this is a great driving package that needs nothing added, except you behind the wheel.

This time capsule Buick comes with a service manual and the original window sticker – that way you can show how loaded and original this coupe is. So when you can get something that's this nicely presented and so distinctive for such an affordable price, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!
