Absolutely Beautiful. Most definitely the finest Limited I've seen yet. So clean, so original down to the Buick Mags. Keep it just like that. A winna. Maybe check tune, shouldn't wind that long to start.
@@stangslayerws6 ok den. Forgot carbureted not fuel injection. That's cool. Just looking at video again. A beautiful top notch Buick. Still say best I've seen. Like it a lot. Take care, stay safe.
The interior fabric and tufted upholstery could be used to line a casket. Nice touch with J.S. Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D Minor accompaniment, but seriously I love these half B pillar cars with the expansiveness with windows and doors open and I miss sealed beam headlamps like these. Thanks for sharing.
"Ah: a man after my own heart" !!! "I HAD a 76 Electra" !!!. Like yours it had automatic air, but mine had a "trip-set" speed alert, and a mileage monitor amid the tel-tail lights and of course: the cornering lights ! *It also had a chromed header panel !. I used to love an watch those little 194 bulb's (in the back-up light assy's), "wash-out" ta too a brilliant white upon putting her in reverse. Anyway: all the way down too a mirror thermometer, it had everything !. I know this car so WELL ! "My God yours is BEAUTIFUL" and the last the the big-carthaginian "Gun-Ship's" !. That said: I would think the seat track "foot-print's" are the same, and you'll need ta find a "60" power seat track. So far a a metal cut-out in the existing structures FRAME ?, "I honestly don't know". This era car is my "forte", as I worked at the Flagship Buick Dealer and these cars were VERY common ta see. "The Clocks ALWAYS worked well too" !. Mine was (I'm looking at a pic now), a lite-blue color and you'll NEVER find a better riding car anywhere PERIOD. Wish I could be of more help on the seat, but that's ALL that I know / can remember ... "GOD WHAT A CAR" "beautiful" ... :- )
Thanks for the kind words and your reply. I am getting the power seat tracks out of a 1974 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency so I hope it is a straight forward installation. The main difference being that the Oldsmobile has chrome trim at the bottom of the seat that the switch pokes its controls through. I guess I will just pull the seat and see if there is a mounting place already on the manual seat frame. Thanks again. Here is a video of her at a car show with a little better lighting if your interested. THANKS! th-cam.com/video/xDOZy7RQfKo/w-d-xo.html
gorgeous car MACHALLAH ,my father had one it was the park avenue limited with the front fixed center console and believe it had all the options TOMMY ztrain is talking about i think the color was called firestorm red with matching vinyl roof and interior.i been searching for one to buy and restore in honor and memory of my dad .pls let me know if you would consider selling
Great car, but it makes it's own beautiful music! I get that both are classics; "Toccata And Fugue In D-Minor" by Johann Sebastian Bach is about as classic as you can get. But so is this masterpiece on wheels, so next time, maybe you can let each classic speak for itself, hmm? Just a thought. 😐! 🐰
Beautiful car! Even nicer than the Cadillacs of the time! Awesome red velour seats and love those taillights! Would love to have one of these if I could afford and then find one! Could've done without the Tocatta and Fugue music, though! Very cheesy and unnecessary!👎Just to hear that old big block GM engine running is beautiful music to me!😊❤👍It must be a 455? Very nice!
There really is no way to refurbish them. Any of them, including hood ornament or trunk lock emblem. They are metal emblems with red, clear and blue plastic glued on top of them. I found NOS ones on eBay The vinyl top emblems are by far the hardest to come across.
@@stangslayerws6 Not sure what you mean by NOS ones? Sounds like not original parts? Anyways, yes, really tough to find them. I put into search engines Buick Emblems and all you get are hood ornaments. Thank you again for your help. I am learning more and more watching and listening to what you are saying about your cars to learn more about my own. Today watching your Video about the car PARKAVE that its different to the Electra's. Mine must be an Electra limited. Still do not know the difference in the models with the turn signals(?) on the front fenders to which mine does not have them. Thank you Again.
@@richardg9698 NOS means New Old Stock. Basically a 50 year old part that has never been used and is most times still in it's original box. The lights in the fenders on my Park Avenue are cornering lamps. They were optional on all 3 models of Electra in 1976 (Electra 225 which is base model) (Electra Limited) and (Electra Park Avenue) Do you have Facebook? Easier to chat and discuss there
wow, this is perfect. hope you still own it. not usually a fan of velour, prefer the earlier brocades, but on this car it seems so right...esp in that boudoir color. i don't think any GM car came with duals in '76, other than corvette with dual tail pipes...must have been added later on.
Love this, thank you, 70s my Grandad, better times/ people and these great cars the likes of which Detroit will never produce again ever. 70s the last decade that Detroit ACTUALLY built the type of cars WE WANTED and not the soulless shite they put out now. Yeah ok , old man rumblings. Thank you
@@stangslayerws6 very fine ride bro. Now I have to spend around 10k to get one in perfect condition again. I want the 76 body with the 455 that had 360hp. Sexy beast you have there.
Beautiful and a fine example of mid 70's American big block land yachts that ruled the interstate.
The Seventies, no doubt, was the decade of image...and living color!
Beautiful 🥰! That machine has literally been loved it's whole life and it shows. 👍🏻
I Love 💘 those ole school Land Yachats just sailing down the highway with the air blowing jamming good old days 😁
I've always liked those Buick wheels.
There was a guy in our neighborhood that had a new 76 Limited in Black. Wow what an impressive classy looking limo. I was very jelous!
I'd rather hear the engine than your organ music.
That Bach's organ music lol
@@stangslayerws6
As long as it is not Wagner, it is fine.
The exhaust shout be more hush hush.
Beautiful car, though, Always liked it.
I’m waiting for Bella Lugosi to show up and hide behind his cape!
The descendants of the Tennessee pioneers are honored.
Tennessee to the Bone Buick to the core 😅
Looks brand new,wow!
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching. My Buicks are most definitely a labor of love
Awesome.........the last buick full size!!!!!
Beautiful car

That was a heat soaked super hot day start by friend that didn't even touch the gas pedal. She starts immediately when I start her

I am hoping mine comes out similar to yours. You have inspired me.
Liberty White it is.
Liberty white looks beautiful on these cars. Almost live ice cream
Love the car...

All doors open diminishes view of the great lines of this beauty.

If you look at my channel, you will find several videos of my Electras without background music.

See the trash can at 1:16. Ours had that too. Ours was maroon exterior, maroon interior.
That's one big car
The 1970s version of the 1958 Buick Limited
Beautiful
My dream car!!!!
I love her too thank you for watching
Love the Bourdello interior....Should have some ladies of the evening no ?
Road going dinosaur that we'll never see in heards like they used to roam.
at the 1:34 mark of this video you see the Buick Emblem on the vinyl top. How do you refurbish these pieces?

Thanks. Check out my TH-cam channel. I own 2 of them 😍
@@stangslayerws6
Lol. They are sooo out of place today! Those were the days. Really!!!
My mother had this car.
Why the music? Beautiful cat!
Love this, thank you, 70s my Grandad, better times/ people and these great cars the likes of which Detroit will never produce again ever. 70s the last decade that Detroit ACTUALLY built the type of cars WE WANTED and not the soulless shite they put out now. Yeah ok , old man rumblings. Thank you
1976 electric 225.
Are still available
What a gorgeous looking piece of history.....Is this Buick available for sale?
I'm sorry but this car is not for sale. Thanks for liking
Sorry. I did not buy her to sell
Who on his right mind would sell this? Sacrilegious!!!
My kind of Buick!
Cant see the Buick Ralleye Wheels
The largest American cars ever produced were the 1971-1976 full-size GM products.
WRONG!! They were waayyy larger and longer in the late 50s and throughout the 60s.
A real car
My Daddy had 76 same color but blue interior 350 V8
Beautiful and Exquisite Vehicle, but one thing that bothered me was that you didn't show the headliner. The Mothership has arrived.
C. Bernard Webb Thank you. The headliner is original and perfect
@@stangslayerws6,
You are very welcome. I am a huge fan of Attention To Detail, even down to the headliner.
@@stangslayerws6
Lol. They all droop.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt These cars have the old school headliners held up by rods. Not the newer ones held up by glue
@@stangslayerws6
Good to know!
The mothership has arrived
is she for sale?
My big girls are not for sale
Where do u find'em 😍
Oddly they are both from Ohio even though the white one was built in Linden NJ and black one in Flint Michigan.
Theyre extremely hard to find because a lot of demo derbies have destroyed most them and other GM B-bodied cars. Great car and beautiful!👍👍
That C pillar is certainly questionable design from a safety standpoint. Otherwise neat land yacht.
That's the whole point of buying the 4 door hardtop over the 2 door which had a post
Is it for "SALE"! 🤔
No
What is the price
The price for what?
Wow! Look at that plastic grille!!!
Is this car for sale
No
car for a "stable" gentleman
Great Car to go to the funeral in, jst sayin...
Mine was baby blue or light blue. Blue seats. My 455 started faster. Lol
Mine starts much faster too if heat soak is left out of the equation

@@stangslayerws6 I would have to have a 67 motor though. I like the 76 style better
@@stangslayerws6 tried to send you a picture of the one I had

Yarr the white whale!!
