Vehicle Detail
Here is one of the cleanest, unmolested classic Buicks you will find. Original owner up until this year. This car has been garaged it's entire life. It has never been driven in winter weather. It has a 350 Buick engine with a Turbo 400 automatic trans. Power windows, a/c ( may need to be recharged). There is absolutely no rust or rot. The undercarriage is like new. The car also has been exceptionally well maintained from day one. It has a brand new exhaust, new brakes including calipers, rotors, pads, shoes & drums. The rubber around the doors is like new. Everything works. YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THE INTERIOR!. Except for the sagging headliner, the interior is like showroom new. Never smoked in, no stains, no wear, no funky smells. When you open the doors, it smells like new vinyl. The vinyl seats are soft & like brand new with no wear. There is also no wear or scratches on the wood grain on the doors and dash, and the chrome on the door escutchens is also wear free. The carpet is also like new & I have the original front floor mats. The original clock still works perfect. The car runs, drives & handles like new with no smoke, no rattles & perfect tight flawless suspension. The original owner stated that many years ago his father had the car repainted the exact original color. The paint is very nice and presentable for a driver, but a new base clear would make it show status. The chrome & brightwork is excellent and as good as it gets for a 32 year old car. I just put a nicely detailed set of rally wheels on it with brand new American made quality tires and solid chrome never rust lugs. This car drives like a dream. The engine is clean only showing the typical dirt for it's age. This car is completely original except for the repaint. It has never been molested, altered or modified. There is an am/fm cassette in the dash now, but I have the original radio. The tan vinyl roof is so amazing you won't believe it. I have all of the original paperwork from the original owner including the original brochure and the window sticker invoice. There were only 8,259 Electra 225 coupes made in '78 making it the lowest production model... A great, superclean car with a fair reserve. Now the details... *Serious bidders only please.
