CAR COLLECTION LIQUIDATION / GARAGE SALE! 1973 BUICK ELECTRA 225 CUSTOM LIMITED 2 DOOR HARDTOP GREAT RESTORATION CANDIDATE! THIS CAR WILL ALSO MAKE SOMEONE AN EZ RESTORATION OR A CLASSIC DAILY DRIVER WITH NOT MUCH WORK! MECHANICALLY IN GOOD SHAPE. THE 455ci V8" JUST PURRS BUT HAS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE FOR A WHILE & COULD USE A FRESH TUNE-UP & SERVICING. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS NICELY. REALLY A VERY NICE SURVIVOR FRONT END, GRILL, FRONT BUMPER, ETC. ARE ALL VERY NICE! STRAIGHT & CLEAN! EVEN THE LOWER VALANCE IS IN OVERALL NICE SHAPE! ALTHOUGH THIS ONE RUNS NICELY & IT WOULD DRIVE ON TO A TRANSPORT TRUCK WITH NO PROBLEM, IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE TO MAKE SURE & DO A TUNE-UP, OIL CHANGE & GENERAL PRE-TRIP INSPECTION BEFORE DRIVING IT LONG DISTANCES. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU EITHER ARRANGE GETTING ANY PRETRIP PREP WORK DONE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT HOME, OR WE CAN HELP YOU ARRANGE TRANSPORTATION ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE WITH A TRANSPORTATION THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH FOR YEARS THAT GIVES US GREAT DEALS. THE PAINT IS OLD & POSSIBLY ORIGINAL. SO IT IS IN POOR SHAPE & IS DEFINITELY READY FOR A FRESH COAT! BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOR SOMEONE WANTING TO RESTORE ONE, IT IS OVERALL VERY STRAIGHT & SOLID! ALTHOUGH THERE IS SURFACE RUST WHERE THE PAINT IS MISSING HERE & THERE THAT WILL JUST SAND OFF, IT IS OTHERWISE OVERALL VERY NICE & SOLID & HAS NO OTHER ADVANCED RUST ISSUES AT ALL. SOLID FLOORBOARDS SOLID FENDERS SOLID ROCKERS SOLID DOORS ETC. LIKE MOST OF OUR CARS, WE PUT THIS CAR UP ON A HOIST & LOOKED IT OVER PRETTY THOROUGHLY & IT IS A VERY SOLID CAR. HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: 4V37T3H492910 ODOMETER READING: 98476 ALTHOUGH THERE ARE QUITE A FEW INDICATIONS THAT THESE COULD BE VERY WELL THE ACTUAL MILES, WE HAVE NOT VERIFIED THIS & SO LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES 10 YEARS & OLDER IT IS BEING SOLD AS: TRUE MILES UNKNOWN / MILES EXEMPT. BODY: ALTHOUGH WE HAVE GONE INTO SOME DETAIL ABOVE, IN SHORT: IT IS VERY STRAIGHT & SOLID FOR IT'S AGE. REAR BUMPER HAS A VERY SMALL DENT IN THE MIDDLE JUST BELOW THE LICENSE PLATE. (AS SEEN ABOVE.) OTHERWISE THE TAILLIGHTS, TRUNK & REAR BUMPER ARE ALL NICE! CLEAN & SOLID! HAS A NICE SET OF STOCK WHEELS & ORIGINAL HUBCAPS. WITH A GOOD SET OF WIDE WHITEWALL TIRES THAT LOOK NICE. THE REAR 2 ARE GETTING "TIRED" & SHOULD BE REPLACED BEFORE TOO LONG. BUT SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH TREAD TO GET YOU HOME. THE FRONT 2 HAVE APPROX. 80% TREAD REMAINING & ARE IN GREAT SHAPE! WE GET GREAT DEALS ON TIRES AS WELL & COULD GET THE BUYER A GOOD DEAL ON A SET OF NEW OR USED RADIALS IF DESIRED. GLASS: THE WINDSHIELD HAS A CRACK ON THE UPPER PORTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, OTHERWISE ALL OTHER GLASS IS GOOD. WE ALSO GET GREAT DEALS ON WINDSHIELDS & COULD GET THE BUYER A GOOD DEAL ON A NEW ONE INCLUDING INSTALLATIONS IF DESIRED. THE VINYL TOP IS IN OVERALL NICE SHAPE, IT ISN'T PERFECT, BUT CERTAINLY COULD BE USED FOR A WHILE. WE THINK IT WOULD BE BEST TO REPLACE IT WHEN YOU HAVE IT REPAINTED. INTERIOR: IN AMAZINGLY NICE SHAPE! HAS NO CRACKS IN THE DASH PAD & THE GAUGES ARE IN NICE SHAPE. NICE STEERING COLUMN & WHEEL! THE PEDALS SHOW HARDLY ANY WEAR! (ONE OF THE REASONS WE THINK THE MILEAGE MAY BE ACTUAL!) ALSO THE CARPETING & HEAL PAD AREN'T SHOWING MUCH WEAR AT ALL! HAS POWER WINDOWS AND SEATS, BUT THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY WORKING. HAVE NOT CHECKED THE FUSES, BUT THESE ARE SIMPLE SYSTEMS AND WILL BE EASY TO SERVICE. WE CAN ARRANGE TO HAVE THIS WORK DONE FOR YOU AT OUR WHOLESALE COSTS IF THE BUYER WANTS. THE FRONT SEATS LOOK GOOD! THE ONLY TEARS ARE AS SHOWN ABOVE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE UPPER SEAT CUSHION. THE BACK SEAT LOOKS GOOD. THE HEADLINER AND VISORS LOOK NICE! DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL LOOKS VERY GOOD! PASSENGER'S SIDE LOOKS GOOD TOO... VIEW OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT & REAR BOTTOM OF TRUNK LID SHOWN ABOVE. TRUNK FLOOR IS SOLID. HAS SURFACE RUST WHERE THE PAINT IS MISSING, BUT NO ADVANCED RUST. PASSENGER SIDE SHOWN ABOVE THE 455ci V8 ABSOLUTELY RUNS GREAT, BUT AS WE SAID BEFORE, WHEN CARS HAVE BEEN IN STORAGE FOR A WHILE, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SERVICE THEM BEFORE DRIVING THEM ON A ROAD TRIP. STILL HAS THE A/C PARTS. BUT THE FAN BELT IS MISSING. MECHANICAL: SIZE: 455ci V8 TRANSMISSION: TYPE: AUTOMATIC BRAKES TYPE: POWER CONDITION: SMOOTH & SOLID. STEERING: POWER CONDITION: WORKS GREAT. NICE & SMOOTH. WHEELS: STEEL WITH HUBCAPS TIRES STEEL RADIALS. FRONT 80%. REARS, "TIRED" & SHOULD BE REPLACED BEFORE TOO LONG. EXHAUST: GOOD SHAPE. NICE & QUIET. NICE OLD CLASSIC!
