Upholestry is in driver quality condition but not perfect.Body is straight and basically solid but needs minor attention and eventual repaint.Tires have good tread left but should be replaced for safety as tires have an expiration regardless of tread life.Brakes do work well but as with all antique cars should be upgraded to dual reservoir brake system for safety.Front suspension parts have old, brittle and dry grommets and rubber spacers etc., and would be best if front suspensionwas gone through for safety. Although this vehicle starts, runs, drives and stops it is our opinion that it wouldbe best to have it transported to its destination for restoration rather than attempting to drive it home. SAFETY FIRST! 1961 Buick Electra Convertible is a rare model and difficult to find especially in good survivor condition.This vehicle looks great and turns heads everywhere it goes but bear in mind it is over 50 years old and will requiresome restoration to be show quality. It has normal wear and tear and should be inspected by a qualified mechanic and necessary repairs made BEFORE venturing out on any road trips. This Electra Convertible is being SOLD AS IS as a restorable classic car with no existing warranty or guarantee of any kindexpressed or implied.
