FOR SALE IS MY 1979 BUICK ELECTRA LIMITED. I BOUGHT HER 6 YEARS AGO, IN UPSTATE NEW YORK, WHILE ON VACATION. THIS CAR WAS SO CLEAN, AND RAN SO GREAT THAT I HAD TO HAVE IT. I DROVE IT HOME THAT WEEKEND, AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED MAKING PLANS TO PAINT HER AND DRESS HER UP WITH THE NEW WHEELS AND TIRES. I NSTALLED AN IN-DASH DVD PLAYER. THIS CAR WAS PAINTED BY A SHOP IN STATEN ISLAND. THE DOOR JAMBS AND TRUNK ARES WERE DONE AS WELL, DUE TO THE COLOR CHANGE. ORIGINALLY IT WAS A DARK BURNT RED. THE WHEELS ARE CENTERLINES, AND THE TIRES ARE BF GOODRICH, RAISED WHITE LETTERS. THE INTERIOR, AS YOU CAN SEE IS STILL REALLY NICE, AND HAS BEEN WELL KEPT THROUGHOUT ITS TIME. THE MOTOR RUNS SO QUIET, THAT WHEN YOU ARE JUST COASTING DOWN THE BLOCK, IT IS ALMOST SILENT. THE TRANSMISSION IS PERFECT. SHIFTS JUST RIGHT. THE STEERING , BRAKING AND ALL MECHANICAL ASPECTS ARE TERRIFIC. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ICE COLD. THE CAR STARTS FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING WITH TWO PUMPS OF THE GAS PEDAL, (LIKE ALL OLD CARS), AND JUST THE TURN OF THE KEY THE REST OF THE DAY. EVERYTHING WORKS, EXCEPT THE POWER ANTENNA. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON E-BAY FOR THE BEST REPLACEMENT. THE PAINT ON THE TRUNK IS STARTING THE LIFT A LITTLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, (AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES.) I DO HAVE THE PAINT CODE FOR THE REPAINT. THE TWO BUMPERS ARE STARTING TO PIT A BIT, (AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES.) THERE IS SOME BUBBLING STARTING TO FORM BELOW TO THE VINYL TOP LINE ON THE RIGHT QUARTER, BUT NOT ON THE LEFT SIDE. (ALSO IN PICTURES) TRYING NOT TO HIDE ANYTHING. THIS CAR DOES STILL TURN HEADS, AND INITIATES MANY CONVERSATIONS IN PARKING LOTS, AND GAS STATIONS, AND THE LIKE. I PAY $118 IN INSURANCE ON THIS CAR THROUGH MET LIFE CLASSIC CAR INSURANCE. THEY BASE THIS ON AN AGREED VALUE OF $8700. I USE IT ON OCCASION TO SPORT AROUND ON THE WEEKEND, BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, IT SITS WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME TO JUSTIFY KEEPING IT ANY LONGER. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN, SO AS NOT TO BE WASTED. I WOULD LOVE FOR SOMEONE TO ENJOY IT THE WAY I DID WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I WILL BE SELLING THIS CAR AUCTION STYLE- NO RESERVE- TOP BIDDER WINS. IF YOU CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK, YOU WILL SEE THAT I SELL ALOT OF NEWER FORD TRUCKS AND MUSTANGS. I HAVE AN IMPECCABLE REPUTATION, FOR BEING FAIR AND HONEST. THIS CAR IS NOT BY ANY REASONING A SHOW CAR. BUT, IT IS A REALLY NICE DAILY DRIVER, WHICH IM SURE YOU WILL GET ALOT OF ENJOYMENT OUT OF. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FREE TO CALL ME- KEITH 646 226 5550.
