- The Limited Electra is the top of the line. This one is extra sexy in triple black with chrome wheels. It is a 2 owner, 65,000 documented mile car that lived in Texas. In the glovebox it has its original manuals and warranty booklet. Texas has a yearly safety inspection, we have all of those, registrations and more. The first owner kept it until 2008. The 2nd and current owner is a Buick Electracollector. He has owned as many as 8 at a time.
Like I already said, this car is sexy. It's had one repaint. The black is slick. I'm looking down the side of the car and it truly is straight as an arrow. The body gaps lineup and fit square. I'm sitting in the car right now as I write this. It is in practically new condition. Very luxurious genuine leather upholstery. It's a split a true split bench seat with fold down armrest. Looking at the dash area, it's excellent. The knobs, wood grain, vents, steering wheel don't show any wear. The big optional 455 moves this land yacht. The engine compartment is very original looking. It has not been monkeyed with. The fan shroud, overflow bottle, wires, hoses, components look to be proper.

I was just a young kid in the 70's. One day my dad told me that one of his old army buddies was coming for a visit and when he pulled into the driveway he was driving a Buick Electra. I never forget how stunning that car was. He opened the car door, which seemed to be as long and wide as my bed, and as he lifted himself out I saw that he had a gold ring on every finger and a huge gold medallion necklace around his neck ( you could see the weight of all that gold on him, he must have had 2 pounds of gold on his person). When he saw me he said 'how'yas doin, kid ?' in this deep scraggly voice, a voice that sounded like it had been run over by a freight train. My dad greeted him and I could instantly feel the connection they shared. He came inside and began to tell my dad stories. Stories of being in Africa and about gold mining and diamonds and pirates. That guy, and his Electra, were absolutely legendary. He was a giant among men. There are no men like him today, and no cars like the Buick Electra.
Amazing story about a past that might not repeat it self again, being young and optimistic and full of energy and seeing icons of successfull adventures men in your circle that made it, wish I was born in those times and places, I would if been really rich by now, you should have got more replies but people don't anderstand what you mean.
Great looking car i grew up driving cars like this loved the cars back then.
Deuce Deuce baby it was the last of the full size deuce and a quarter. I miss those beautiful land yachts.
I never thought that these were among Buick's best models, but this one is absolutely spectacular.
I had a 75 Electra 225 sedan with the V8 455 engine, notice I said had, well I took the car to jiffy lube and 2 weeks later it dropped a rod through the bottom of the engine, after that I never let anyone touch my cars, this is one of the cars I owned that I missed the most, what a boat
That's the nicest Electra I've ever laid my eyes on! The 455 is awesome!
Those cars were huge, and this is a hardtop !! This is a mint example that you don't see anymore.
Glad you liked it! 👍
Thank you for believing in the uniqueness. They don't make them like that anymore
My parents had a 74 or 75 . With the 455 , 2 door black on black with silver by vinal top and the black fabric material. It was definitely a highway cruiser , family road trip from Houston Texas to San Diego California and back . The 455 plenty of power. Great car !
I was 16 years old in 1976 nice car brings back memories.
Same here...my dad had one back in the day!
@@mandingaprincess, Oh okay
Yawn
damn that thing is so huge it looks like it could be in 2 different time-zones!
@SRT8Driver......lmao bro it was my grandfather had one..
@@edwardallen3463 I mean my Jeep barely fits in my garage but that Electra would mostly be ass-out to the world since the door woudn't close hehe
I'd have to park that big ole gal in Texas!
@@BlacKnightRising indeed
my aunt had a deuce and a quarter, loved riding in it back in 1970
I like how it barely fits in your turntable room.
😆
Dad had a 71-72 225 Limited, 4 door, white with sage green cloth. side skirts. Power seats, 455. You could play basketball on the hood. Best car we ever had. Better than Continentals. It was a tank and rode like a dream. If I were homeless, I’d want a buick electra to live in. I waxed it for him every 6 weeks so I could drive it. It never got me laid though.
Amazing Buick
Love these era cars!
My Grandparents bought a brand new 1976 Buick Electra Limited however there's was a 4 door...i tell you that was the most spacious smooth riding automobile i've ever been in TO DATE...I remember when I was 16 and they let me drive it I thought I was driving a yacht...what a great ride that was
They are very nice cars to drive, even now.
When my Grandfater died, I herited his 1978 Buick Electra, my brother was over seas, so my Grandmother gave him the cash value of the car at that time. It was a four door white leather interior and roof, with a green exterior. Those cars were huge! Gas was under a dollar, and I put a lot of miles on it all over the country. Now at 70, I dream of buying one and doing the same kind of traveling!
I bought a '79 225 "Park Avenue" when I was 24 years old. I have owned several "big rides" since including Caddys and the big '97 Town Cars. The Buick was right there with the best of them.
Very cool history with these cars, sounds like you really enjoy em! 👍
Back then gas was under a dollar a gallon,no road rage, good music on the radio with the most comfortable luxurious ride, traditional family was respected,it was a time to remember and still can be we just need to slow down and appreciate the simple joy of life 🗻 🛣️🏞️🏜️🏙️
THE TITANIC HAS RISEN! WHAT A BOAT.
This beautiful car meets all my expectations. American cars are and will remain the only ones that I love very much. The American automotive industry was and is the best. 🇵🇱🖐️
I love this car two doors are awesome
Duece and a quarter. A nice car. Brings back childhood memories
I had the 74 4 door. Loved that car.
What a cruiser!
Reminds me,quite a bit(!),of my '77 Olds 98!Same color but with red,crushed velour seats!
Red velour seats!! 😍
Deuce and a quarter. Nice car, brings back childhood memories.
The sexiest cars were made in 1976!
My dad would have loved this Buick
my first car was a sliver 76 electra limited ❤❤❤
Love the buzzer on the 1970s cars
How I would LOVE LOVE to have that.....even for a month....It IS stunning..........In 1976 my dad had a crazy big brand new, ugly as all get out....Lincoln Towncar was it? Huge, seats like burgundy haunted house like velour benches......ah the 70s...I love this car....this was 2 yrs ago, wonder who bought this sled.......jealous
Drove a ‘73 Olds Delta 88 back in the day , what a bomb.
This is a Car! very nice thank you and will be checking you out more guaranteed, love the classics👍
Appreciated Michael! Glad you are here. 👍
Beautiful 👍…damn trunk looks like a swimming pool…big beauty..
Nice care and a thumbs up.
Farming was going good for awhile in the 1970's and our neighbour bought this same car. It was silver grey with a burgundy vinyl roof and burgundy leather interior.
Im SURE this rides SMOOOOOTHHH as silk..I LOVE TO GO ON A ROAD TRIP IN THIS....
Probably still a great road trip car!
@Oliver Pong I remember falling over in the BIG cars ..lol...And yes turning corners took finesse BUT on the highway there wasnt much better..
Float on!!!
I grew up with Buicks, my dad and uncle bought them every three years !
67, 71, 74 , 77 , 80 , 82 ,84 , 87 , 91 , 94 , 99 ,
Damn, that is dedication to a brand! Must really love them!! 😮
The skippy mobile love it....good memories
This reminds me of my 1970 Oldsmobile 98 with the Rocket 455. One Halloween at Virginia Tech in 1989, there were 13 people in the car and trunk plus a full keg of beer. With the tops of the rear tires hitting the wheel wells, this incredible 455 engine was still able to burn some rubber on the way to see Spinal Tap at the local movie theater. Yes I was sober and the designated driver. The above Buick Electra is stunning. I know my Oldsmobile would beat it in a race since the 455 in the Buick is strangled by a catalytic converter(s). I would love to see this collector’s 1970 Buick Electra because I know the power of pre catalytic 455 engines. I definitely subscribed to this site! I’m going to look at the mentioned 1970 Buick Electra...
Gorgeous
I wish they can make cars like this again
HEY BUICK!!! You listening? 😜
Beautiful car. Cheered me up this morning.
This was a car my uncle drove and I always like that car it's a classic
My Dad had a yellow one from 1978 to 1985 !
Yellow you say 🤔
Beautiful Electra, last year for the big one. though i prefer 4 doors on a car that big
It looks way better than the jellybean garbage cars today.
Amen
Love this dude's accent. Great car too.
Thanks! 😎👍
I can dig it! Beautiful land yacht
The ol duece and a quarter
Stunningly Beautiful!
Thank you! 😀
gorgeous
.......Dios.....q coche TAN PRECIOSO!..... seguiré rogándole a mi Dios me ayude aún más para algún día tener uno así antes de morir...saludos y bendiciones
In high school my friend had a 1974 electra. Smoked a lot of weed in it. The music in the back ground makes the video feel like I'm watching a porno.
A real American classic!!! They don't make them like that anymore.
very beautiful .
The year I was born
I love the exterior of the 75 & 76 Electra, but we had a 73 Electra and I prefer the interior of the 73s. That car is just HUGE, the rear fender from the back of the door to the bumper is longer than most compact cars today.
ONLY NEED A MOONROOF BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful ❤️ 🚗
No two ways about it...that's my kind of Buick!
I had a '71 Electra 225 (base model) and a '77 Electra Limited. These really were for the guy who wanted a "sportier" looking Cadillac. You got the luxury interior and ride every bit as nice as a Cadillac with a less "formal", more "dynamic" styling. For all of the crap that Buick gets for being an "old mans" car, It really was a YOUTHFUL Caddy. The Buick "rally" wheels are a work of art, And they only look RIGHT with Buick's styling. Even though the Oldsmobile 98 and Cadillac DeVille shared the same body shell, Those wheels would look wrong on those cars. Don't get me wrong those are ALSO beautiful cars, but they are in "formal dinner" dress. The Buick is in "yacht party" dress. 👍😊👍
Mine, was similar in options. I had the Astroroof, automatic door locks,power antenna, no cruise control, but,speed alert, fiber Optics lamp monitors, power trunk, manual A/C, change the headlights to halogens, install a 4note horn,& the 455cid 4bbl was STANDARD, til the GM strike, some 350cid were installed w/a price break. I didn't care for the UNIROYALS wide walls. Placed instead aramid belted Vogue tyres, which were taller. From JR78-15 steel belted to LR70-15. From a nice ride to a magic carpet ride. That was my 1st brand new car. Never did it leave me stranded, for I highly maintained it & used the new Mobil 1,synthetic oil. Amoco 93, & everywhere I went ppl asked if I wanted to sell. Mine was Pewter colored, but, w/ the same wheels & molding. Cranberry interior & triple lined pinstripes. Never did Buick built a masterpiece as yours & mine. I've had many new cars since then,but, all were compared to that model as a STANDARD. It was a comfortable 6pass, long distance traveler, a true land yacht. Mine, cost a tick above $9k. True bargain, I saved $$$$. Njoy your car,I know I did. P.s, where's the hood ornament??? I LOVED THE REVERSE LIGHTS when they returned from White to Red.
233" from bumper to bumper.
So how long did you own it for? Or do you still own it?
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales greetings, I owned my Buick Electra 225 coupe, til '79. I sold it privately & got a '79 Caddy Seville. It made me miss that big galuth by selling. Especially, when I would saw it on the road. I had piled a bit of miles & my mechanic scared me by saying major repairs were coming. Water pump,timing chain, bushings,etc. I was fearful it would leave me stranded, which was ALWAYS the reason I bought brand new. The person who got it from me had to junk it in '81,because his son (no license) snuck it out & TOTALED the poor thing. To this day I still use it as a STANDARD of measurement. Thanks for your reply & great video.
@Paul Lunsford whoa, JAMAICA ESTATE'S $$$$$$$$$
Last of the 455 CI Big Block Engine good gas millage for a big car I had the Estate Wagon same year good power for towing .
On the highway this sounds like the car is not on/running very smooth!
The cars I saw on casino and goodfellas
That was the cruiser.
It is like and aircraftcarrier so big and beautyfull wow the motor have not seen one like this
It was called electra 225 because buick made the car 225 inches in length this was buicks flagship car
Second to last year I believe (1977 was the last) for the full size luxury cars from GM Motor Division !
The last. 1977 was when GM introduced the downsized full-sized models. 78: mid-sized, 79: Eldorado, Riviera and Toronado; 80: compact cars and 82: sub-compact.
Those were the days. Now we have Hyundai's.
Right
Old > New
The were called White Wall tires not tires with a white stripe. My Grandfather and Great Grandfather both had Deuce and a Quarters when I was a kid four people could sleep in the back seat comfortably 😁
I Would Use it Only on Saturday Nights for Cruising but is Beautiful Very Nice 😘
In my opinion the 4-door is an even more impressive and elegant limo!
Very nice
So nice! 😍
I love it
i found one in ND with 64k miles, sold it for $1500 for a poker buy-in lol. i was the 2nd owner.
Hope you won! 😥
only needs Dual Exhaust
its beautiful
Dual exhaust was no longer available since '75 because of the catalytic converter. Even 'vettes had the same exhaust but w/dual outlets (fake).
Flowmaster ex
My Dad had a 76 limited 4 Dr
I miss mine, god were they comfortable, gr8 long trips, on high way, mine was the same ,but, Pewter color,& astroroof. Limited slip, but, 2.53:1. No burnouts ,but, gr8 foul weather travelers. Now, ofcourse Buicks no longer have V8s, so, I drive 2019 Caddy Escalade. I never liked TURBOCHARGED nor Supercharged on my cars. Big,natural Aspirated 8cyls will work for me. To each his/her own.
Beautiful, AWESOME MASTERPIECE.
Where's the hood ornament, & the fiberoptic lamp monitors. VOGUE tyres completed my landyacht. Imagine the same car & 455 but, w fuel injection, overdrive transmission. I am certain there's a market for them. The other mod I did was exchanged the HEADLIGHTS to Halogen. What a difference! My Standard for which I use to purchase my new cars!!
I wish it had dual exaust. Otherwise, it's a very gorgeous vehicle.
Damn my uncle doll had one of this
(And One More Note)
Also i Would Like To Recommend That The Front OIL Seal To Be Replaced For A New Front OIL SEAL
And Those Would Be The Cross Bars For The Engine
I OWNED ONE OF THESE IN 1985. AND I WOULD SERIOUSLY LIKE TO GET ANOTHER ONE SOMEDAY.
Better hurry up before they are banned
You banzyanas there have some lighting!
And i Would Also Like To Recommend Replacing The Back Seats To The Valour Bench Seats With An Arm Rest installed in The Middle
We've already sold the car. 🙂
Sad part about these cars is that 455 only made 205hp and got about 10 mpg. It was also the last year for the 455 as well.
+340lbft torque. But, despite all the choking devices on the highway it demanded RESPECT 455CID 4BBL
Sure would look nice sitting beside my f150 supercrew
Is it still on the market
( Another Question )
What Kind Of Condition is The EGR Valve in ?
Exhaust ⛽ Gas Recirculation Valve
if it is Worn Out it Can Be Replaced
yeah i no right my dad had one way back in the days when we was kids i love that old school i use to wash cars and trucks at my parents house back then that will be the first car i will wash up first was dads car before he hit the streets with his Brothers and there homies back then and he had trade it in for a 1983 oldsmobile 98 2 door Regency he love them cars to so i stuck with dad in the old school oldsmobile u no we r car lovers out here in the world u no some of us are right
And i Would Also Like To Recommend That The Smog Pump To Be inspected Checked And if Need Be To Replace it
And I would also like to recommend that you STOP writing multiple comments about what you'd also like to recommend. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? What the hell is the matter with you?
Hope GM make such nice cars like these in the 70s again, f*** the the regulations.. damn it.
Deuce and a quarter!
Looks like the back rubber drivers side on the bumper hit the brick wall 😳
And i Would Also Like To Ask A Question ?
What Happened To The All Black Anti Sway Bars That Were Fitted To The inside Of The Front Fenders ?
( And Another Sweet Note )
The 02 Oxygen Sensor is A Part That Helps To Control A Vehicles Emission Standards
The Air Pollution Standards On A Vehicle
This blows the equivalent Cadillac of its day completely out of the water.
Whaaaaaaaat are you talkin' about!? NO Buick ever had all the features and luxuries of a Cadillac. Ever.
@@greeneyedwarlock882 From a styling perspective.
I’ve been admiring Cadillacs since my aunt bought a new Fleetwood Brougham in 1972.
But occasionally I see a car that’s different from the Cadillacs that I’m used to, and that can be refreshing.
I have a Cadillac Eldorado, but I must admit that I’ve always wanted a Buick Riviera.
To me it’s not always about the features and luxurious. It’s more about which one fires off the chemicals in my brain that make me feel happy.
And similarly with colors, and more specifically with the colors of cars.
Quick example.
I’ll always choose a blue car over a red car. Every time.
Blue makes me feel good, but red is painful to me.
To sell it you have to call it what it is A DUCE AND QUATER you got it
Next time, we will put it in our notes! 🤔
A buddy had a car lot I can still hear them (hey man how much for that Duce and a QUATER
