*NO RESERVE!!!!!! GREAT "BUY IT NOW" PRICE! HAPPY BIDDING! For Sale is this beautiful Gem in its original state! It is a 1961 Buick Electra 225 with only one previous owner. It has only 52000 original miles and is the most perfect candidate for a restoration. Fully restored these cars sell for well over 20K. Ok here are some of the flaws: There is minimal body damage to the Hood and Rt/fender, vehicle has primered Rt/Rear Door, vehicle is missing rt/windshield molding and has some very very EARLY signs of surface rust (Please see photos), Rear Seat will need to be re-upholstered due to old frayed material. It runs and is now 50 years old. It has its original Black and Yellow California Plates and Registration is paid through November 2012. It even has its original owners manual and glass windshield washer water bottle. It is simply gorgeous....I simply don't have the resources to take care of this vehicle the way it deserves to be cared for. Vehicle has a clean title and is registered to me. I obtained this vehicle through a lien sale due to original owners death. It will be sold with a bill of sale and buyer will be responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. Payment in full is due within 72 hours of the auctions close and vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of auctions close or storage fees $65/day will be retroactively charged from the date of the auctions close till the time of pick up. This is an awesome car........anyone who gets it is extremely lucky to have such a restorable and well kept Classic.
