1978 Buick Electra Limited Coupe

Description

Loaded with features, proper V8 power under the hood, and a cool survivor-like quality all come together on this 1978 Buick Electra Limited. It makes for a distinctive and detail-oriented classic offered for quite a nice price.

This coupe is part of a bygone era of long and stylish American two-doors. The white paint shows the right signs of being the factory application. It's nicely contrasted with a well-done half-vinyl roof, full-length rub strips, and a pinstripe that are all done in black. It gives this top-tier Limited an upper-class style. Those looking for perfection might use the value price to budget for a professional detail or a respray, but that's not where the heart of the appeal is. As you look through this one inside and out, there's a preserved spirit here that shows off what cool cruising and personal style were all about. You see it in the crisp sheet metal, bright chrome bumpers, clear/clean glass, and Buick Rallye wheels. It delivers a sharp-looking true vintage American coupe.

The exterior's black accents prepare you for a sophisticated black interior. It starts with the seats that have a dark color and a comfy pillow-top velour. And as you look over the door panels, carpeting, headliner, and all the details, you soon see that it's all thoughtfully preserved. Even the premium wood-like trim feels smooth. Because this is a full-size coupe, you've got room to bring up to five family and friends along with ease. Or you can fold down the middle armrest to give you a more individual luxury experience. No matter how many people are along for the ride, they will all do it in comfort. This came loaded from the factory with features such as power windows, power locks, a tilt steering column, provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing and/or parts,) an AM/FM stereo, cruise control, and elegant silver-backed gauges.

This Buick is loaded inside and out, and that goes for the engine bay, too. The VIN tells us this was born with the optional 403 cubic-inch V8. So it's nice to see that the larger V8 displacement is still under the hood today. We don't have info on if the motor or mileage is original, but this does have the overall well-preserved appearance where you would suspect they are correct. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, it has the kind of power that allows this Buick to live up to its effortless cruiser image. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is the right mix of stout and smooth. Plus, power steering, power brakes, and front discs are part of a good cruising package.

Preserved, distinct, and premium is a combo you rarely find this affordable. That's why we know you're going to need to act fast to take this Electra Limited home. Call now!
