This was my great Aunt's favorite car. She had a '75 black on black w/blue grey interior & wire hubs. It was totaled the same year when a drunk driver broadsided it. She replaced it with a '76 white top over Potomac blue with blue interior & Buick road wheels. Mom & Dad were the only people she would let drive it. BTW folks, those are NOT aftermarket wire wheel covers. They are Buick wire wheel covers and very rare.
They suck and are a bitch to keep clean.Kelsey Hayes are the real deal, wheels.
Incredible. I had a 2dr black one with sunroof. Love it. I still miss it. Good luck to the person who buys this gem
Wow, the USA is loaded with priceless gems. It's such simply above what I can process. It's amazing.
@@orchids3332 its just mind blowing. I wish I knew.
There are a lot more low mileage classics hiding in garages than we realize.Much more to be revealed in time.
What a beautiful car! Hard to believe that this car is 45 years old, but also basically still brand new! I grew up in a strong GM family and for me personally, I was always and still am very partial to Buick! This car would be so amazing for taking long trips, as it is a cruiser and would ride like a dream! Would dearly love to purchase this beauty, but it's just not in the cards. 😥. Oh the one that got away! Lol
Gorgeous! My favorite car back then. I still love it. It is still for sale or it’s been sold already?
My father had a 69 4dr white black vinyl. 430 4barrel. Fast would take on lots of other large sedans and whip them
'75-'76 are beautiful duce and a quarters.
gorgeous! machine! I had one same year all white! 😱 76 ! I was! 19 !🤠! my dad said is a old mans car! he said get a Toyota! I said no room no power windows! no power nothing! back then in Toyota!! my car is loaded! 🤠! then everyone wants to ride in my HUGE boat machine!.. with a HUGE size sofa! very happy to pick up my girlfriend! at night and play fun fun fun 🤣! no room in a Toyota!...I know I had a corona 69. memory lane! thanks for SHOWING!
Great touring car my das got one in 76 new loaded 9500
Deuce and a quarter , as they were affectionately referred to.
My favorite car. Favorite engine as well. Nothing beats that 455 cu. in. V8.
Gorgeous 1976 Buick
The old deuce and a quarter. A classic ride for sure. A guy I knew had one that was a black convertable with a red top and red real leather upholstery. A 430 cu in V-8.
Back in the 80s I had a burgundy one just like that. Best riding car I ever had it like floated down the road.
I had a ‘76 Buick Electra Limited Park Ave. It was this exact color. It had a Halo Top on it. A slightly nicer interior. That 455 was an amazing engine. I pulled a 3500# trailer UP Mt. Jellico on I-75 in cruise @ 70mph. It never even blinked!!
Oh, the Park Avenue edition Electra 225 was DA BOMB. That was such a plush car. back when we valued comfort and luxury over Performance. I had a '78 Olds 98 Regency Coupe with the 403 V8. I miss that car.
@@joey1127 ‘78 was the second post down sized year. I was envious that Olds got to keep fender skirts. Buick had none after ‘76. I imagine your Regency was quite similar to mine Pk. Ave. in interior appointments and refinements. I suspect that 403(?) had plenty of power for your 98 with its weight reduction.
Giving Cadillac the middle finger. My neighbor had a coupe version of this. All the same except it had a white vinyl roof. What a pretty car.
As an artist, I've had a lifetime of practice on this. If only I had the money to take her home with me!
My Dad had a 75. Next time he got a new one I bought it and drove it several years. Like the guy below I used it as a tow vehicle for a 17' boat but you had to be careful on slippery ramps. Loved that car
Love how your narrate these car tours! Very thorough and detailed and also engaging. Thank you.
OMG, THAT'S awesome, that would be a QUEEN of the road, it looks like it was ready to be a prize on LMAD, if I had the money, I would be driving that anywhere, everywhere and enjoy what FULL SIZE LUXURY is all about!!!!
....until you had to take those wheel skirts off and clean those whitewalls and spoke hubcaps with a toothbrush to get it to look like that. Then you'd just park it in the driveway to look at.
@@robk9685 cleaning white walls in the 1950s was a hassle, not the 1970s. And the original tires cleaned easier, they were made to clean easier. A simple hose, a but of shiner, and white wall adaptive clearing always did a grand job on my Mercury Marquis and honorary 'boat' car: the 1958 Buick sedan.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Totally irrelevant comment but....ok.
@@robk9685 oh sure, that's irrelevant. You know, talking about the exact same topic
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Oh Lord, you forum fa$s always looking to argue. There's always ONE on every block. Go debate with your wife.
USMC I love my 1966 225 but this 76 is gorgeous
We had a 1976 Park Avenue limited. Thanks for the video. Brings back great memories.
Outstanding Buick 💙
I had the 76 Coupe limited deuce on the quarter was very happy with it!
I miss the Deuce.
COUPES ARE NICE, BUT I PREFER THE SEDANS OVER THE COUPES!
Wow, what a beauty.
My uncle was a Buick man. He drove mostly LeSabres but might have had an Electra too. He traded about every 2 years or so. He retired from Dow late 70s. My best friend parents had a red 2dr LeSabre with the Talley rims. It was a cruiser big time.
That is a beautiful car wow.
I drove a 1972 Electra Limited (same body, smaller bumpers) for thirteen years, the longest I've ever had a car, and consider it the best overall vehicle of the many I've owned. Powerful, refined, utterly reliable, and with the quick variable-ratio steering and well-tuned suspension, it had confident handling and a wallow-free ride that belied its size. I miss that car.
Genuine output of US car industry , pleasure seeing
My dad had 1980 same color gorgeous car
Magnificent 💙
An Incredibly Beauuuutiful Car!💕
What a beauty
What a beauty!
The required 5pmh bumpers are a real thorn in my side but this is a beauty!
That’s what a car is supposed to look like
most beautiful electra, last year for the big one. they made them smaller starting in '77
Great color
My dad’s friend bought the 2 door black on black on black with gold pinstripe. Nothing rides like these. Only thing with this one is it needs a good cleaning in seats. You can see yellow in them but on the sides the fabric is whiter.
It’s two toned interior- that’s how some were then - it’s not yellowed
@@lisagialucci2296 …. I stand corrected. I bet it looks really nice in person.
Very nice car 🚗
Between the Limited, and the Limited Park Avenue, I still wonder how many sales Cadillac lost to Buick in 1976. Electra - the Luxury Liner of Passenger Cars!
Agreed
I'm in love , smh this car got me shaking, I would never sell this car, ever
My Dad had silver and Burgundy 225 coupe 76
Reminds me of what I saw on the movie Donnie Brosco, Casino, Goodfellas.
its just mervelllllllllllous
I know what I want for Christmas!
very nice.
That rolling couch is gorgeous!! Good luck to the new buyer!!!!👍
A beautiful car. I love the color. I liked the Electra's better than the Sedan De Villegas.
When you could get a blue interior on a car! I think Genesis offers it and Ford is next year.
I liked how the couple (on the obvious first date) sat next to each other in the front while driving by flipping up that center armrest. Then by the fourth date or once they got married, she was sitting in the backseat to keep as much distance as possible.
When you could get a CLOTH interior on a luxury car. I hate vinyl/leather seats.
@@jameswillett7186 I have a 2006 Buick Lucerne with cloth seats. 180K miles and surprisingly they're like new. No tears, wear Marks, nothing, not even on that center fold down front armrest...which is the same fabric. My point is, even if you could get that cloth interior in the vehicle you desire today, you'll have your choice of light gray, dark gray or black. This Buick is a nice dark burgundy with a light gray cloth interior called "platinum" to make it sound fancy. That color combo is just "off". I bought it used mainly for the 3800 engine.
I’ve got a 75 with the same color interior
Back when a car rode smooth, most cars ride like a truck now.
And they cost a lot, have no interior room, but loads of plastic everywhere. Nice "progress."
@@paulparoma tell me about it. The day digital became a touch screen was the day every lost everything and only started caring about that goddamn fucking screen. No one cares if you feel safe in America, they're too busy building a fake world for you to live in so that the modern adults can avoid life and their children.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar It's not just America, buddy; it's the whole world. Japan started it a long time ago.
@@paulparoma but what country changed the most
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar The one that was the stupidest to begin with.
Wow luv this would choose this over a new car in a heartbeat beautiful 😍
....until you discovered you could literally watch the gas gauge needle fall while driving....
@@robk9685 that’s the best part! And tbh who cares about gas when you own one of these. Something like that doesn’t even matter
@@timo3683 Exactly. Especially when you're rolling with the mafia!
@@robk9685 Ya, it's funny that there is always someone who says that they don't build them like they used to. We had a 1974 Electra. Was great back then, but yes it guzzled gas and didn't handle well. The reliability of the new cars is amazing. Faster, safer, more standard and new features. I'll take the new cars any day.
Trade the blue for deep wine and add 10K miles and you'd have the car I had a chance to buy for a song back in '92. Probably just as well I didn't buy it. I was a car guy then but not the most responsible one.
Car was absolutely gorgeous though; just like this one.
Those are not "hub caps"; they are gorgeous "wheel covers"!
Unique price...
i bought same car+ only needed wax+$400. runs great.
mine is 77
i know these cars well. love em.
Amazing condition. I’d have to commit the sacrilege of updating the stereo to add Bluetooth, but otherwise MAN OH MAN! This would look GREAT pulling up to the opera or ballet for sure!
The only thing this car needs is a new power antenna. Leave the stereo alone. As for pulling up to the opera or ballet, you would have to be the driver for someone else, for there is no parking in front of any opera house these days.
@@paulparoma Houston Ballet and Opera both have VIP valet parking.
@@bryantshaw2347 So you'd like to impress a valet?:)
@@paulparoma no the crowd gathered at the entrance where the valet stand is.
@@bryantshaw2347 I see. I'd be the happiest guy in the world if that did it for me. But I impressed the crowd in St. Tropez with my Scion XB. Everyone was looking at it, not at all the Porsches and Ferraris!
Yeah
Wish it was a 2 Door!
It's nice car. I have white one and I am looking for some parts for it
Is the seat upholstery damaged ?
Owning that was same as own a caddie.
WOW Beautiful... I’d DEFINITELY be interested in BUYING THIS VEHICLE , But is that a FIRM PRICE or the STARTING ( like an auction ) ? And wondering about SHIPPING COST to Michigan since I cannot spare the time to go to Minnesota at this time .
Hello Bruce, we would be happy to answer your questions! Please call us at 507-386-1726 or email sales@uniqueclassiccars.com. Thank you!
Okay. That sounds like a car I’d be okay with paying $34,900 for. If I did buy it I’d have to be careful not to total it like a did with my Grand Marquis. I’d have to be careful of my driving habits to keep it the way it is.
My dad had one new in 76 cost 9450.00
I prefer the power seats control to be on the arm rest like the power windows and locks. Over time they tend to wear out!
I just wish I can know how such miles are humanly possible over a span of 45 years.
Video mentioned it sat in a dealer untitled
All aboard the mothership
Butiful car like
BEAUTIFUL 👍
Would love to have this car I would feel sick to my stomach driving it though the only reason I would get it is to put it back in the garage and store it if I had one
But it doesn't fit in the garage.
If I was rich, I'd buy a dozen or so like this, one way to keep the miles down ;)
Good you don’t have one then. It should be driven, if only very little to be fully enjoyed. That’s what cars are for.
@@robk9685 I depends on when the house was built. A house built before the mid 1950s or a modern house, say from some time in the 1980s,
no way.
@@aaronwilliams6989 And it wouldn't fit in any garage built post-1980 either because their larger garages are filled with .....shit.....not cars.
Thats a hell of a time capsule for sure but 34k??? 34k buys a much more desirable classic car eh.
No shit. I totally agree. This guys out to lunch asking 34K.
7.9:1 was the Compression Ratio on that engine.
It either has the Cheap AC control, or they downgraded it. My dads 74 had a Selectable Temp Dial, a lot like Cadillacs. This one has the same control as my 81 Olds Regency had
In 75 they ditched the Red Engine Paint in exchange for what looks like the GM Targetmaster Crate engines
Nice car but I never liked those wire wheels that's just my taste though.
My parents had a ‘74. This blue one has cloth. Seems very rare because naugahyde was the norm back then. No 455 sticker on the air cleaner. Strange. My parents paid $4,900.
You have. I want. No money. No get. :(
That's a bumper.
Talk about a land barge. It's a damn ship.
its the last year for the big one, they shortened them in '77
And That The Rear View Mirror is Missing From The Right Front Passenger Door
That's an option,not standard.
VILMA!
It's to bad this Buick wasn't a 1976 Buick Clamshell Wagon, than it actually might be worth $34,900. As for this 1976 Buick Electra 225 Limited 4dr Hardtop I
would only give you $12,900.
It’s a beauty but good lord those wildly inconsistent panel gaps. 01:21 The hood is airtight on the right side but the gap on the left wide enough for a mechanic to lower himself straight into the engine bay without even opening the hood.
455 V8 with 200 HP?
By the mid-seveties american V8 engines became less powerful due to emissions controls and unleaded fuel which had a lower octane rating. This in addition to federally mandated fuel efficiency guidelines spelled the end of the high output V8 as we knew it...
Ya, that's it.
11MPG Beauty! Too bad just an extra large dust collector. The next owner will just be a care taker for the next buyer.
I thought that was a Park Avenue 225 Buick
Belle voiture dommage la finition à l'américaine........
Better than your Fuego 😆👊😂
WITH THE GARBAGE THEY MAKE TODAY, THAT SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM.
The after market spoke wheel covers ruin the look, so don't the overly thick whitewalls. Cars of this era didn't have whitewalls with that thick of a stripe.
That ugly sticker on the rear window, not even in the bottom corner, ruins the look.
Hey there, thanks for commenting. Detail just placed the decal in the wrong spot but slide off that high horse, thanks!
Tell em to scrape it the eff off then.
This guy takes way too long to show the car! For God's sake, you're not making a movie.
