1978 Buick Electra Limited. 

 

 

 

 

1978 Buick Electra Limited. This stunning 10k mile Buick has had a very easy life and is in excellent pampered garage kept condition. It has become nearly impossible to find one of these in this kind of shape, let alone such a rich color scheme, and only 10k original miles! This is a mind boggling find. This particular example has been a one owner car up until late last year(2020) and has been in collector hands ever since. I believe the paint to be original as well as the top. Both being in excellent shape. The rich dark gold metallic paint is very glossy and the car is extremely straight. Vinyl top is amazing as well as the near flawless interior.

 

This Electra Limited has the very smooth running 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 Electra was/is kept in a climate controlled garage under a car cover(included) 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, rear defogger and the list goes on.  It simply does not get any better than this.

Unbelievable survivor car.

Tires are less than 6 months old. I still have the original factory tires and will be happy to include them in the sale.

 

Near perfect chrome and trim. No rubs on the bumper rub strips.

Buick's legendary ventiports originally signified how many cylinders the engine would have. 3 ports per side was for the V6 cars and 4 ports were for the V8's. In later years the ventiports designated the pecking order of the Buick line up with 4 ports being the top of the line Electra.
