1978 Buick Electra Limted Coupe in Saffron Metallic with White and Saffron interior. 

 1978 Buick Electra Limited Coupe. I have had the pleasure of having this jewel in my car collection for several years now. This special coupe was ordered new by a retired Buick plant manager who would special order a new Buick every year and trade in the year before's buick. Part of his retirement package specified that he could order his cars at dealer cost. He would always pick out very sharp color schemes that you wouldn't normally see at the dealerships. When this beautiful Electra came in from the factory in the fall of 1977 his neighbor and good friend fell in love with the car and purchased it a year later when it was traded in. This gentleman tucked it away and sold me the car a few years back.

It has become nearly impossible to find one of these in this kind of shape, let alone with such an attractive color scheme of Saffron Metallic with the white and saffron interior. In all my years of collecting, this is the first 77-79 Electra Limited coupe that I have ever seen in this jaw dropping color scheme.

This Electra Limited was special ordered with the factory optional 403 V8 built by Oldsmobile.  The 403 V8 was the largest bore GM had ever produced replacing the 455 V8.  The 403 was built to be a big block in a small block package. .No vibrations from this motor even when in gear with the AC on Max. A pure luxury driving experience.

 The unbelievable survivor car has been kept in a climate controlled garage under a car cover and was not driven in rain or snow. It has never been a daily driver since new.  Everything works like new on this Buick. Power windows, seat, locks, AC, cruise, and the list goes on.  It simply does not get any better than this.
