    1971 Electra 225 Limited $1900obo, feel free to make an offer

    The car is a 1971 Electra 225 Limited, the car has 113,000 miles on the original engine and trans and rear and is all numbers matching. It was in a minor fender bender before I got the car and is only a 2 owner car(technically 3 because the original owner passed on and it was given to his daughter). I have been slowly fixing all the small holes in the car, and pulling little dents so the paint is not perfect. Hell you even get the original key fob from buick that has seen better days.

    The motor is a 455 it does smoke a very tiny bit on start up and under hard load, does not knock, tick or make any noise what so ever. And usually starts as soon as you hit the key unless it is really cold out. I have done a complete tune up including exhaust and intake gaskets.

    The transmission is a ST400 and shifts smooth as silk, kicks down like it should and does not leak any fluid. The rear is a 12bolt Big car rear that shares the same lug pattern as the Chevrolet trucks at the time so wheel selection is out in the open.

    The interior on the car is really good, no rips in the back seat but of course the front has some and just needs recovered. All the accessories work from the power seat the windows, gauges everything. The speedo has a slight hick up every once and a while and I think a new cable will fix the problem.

    I am looking for $1900USD or best offer, I am really negotiable as I need it gone quickly. The car is located in Cross Lanes WV 25313

    That's clone of my car that I got from my Grandparents. Even the dent locations are the same!

    I have been working on pulling the dents on the car, the one on the rear is out no problem, I just have not had the time to pull the grill out and get the other one.

    Bump, please feel free to make an offer.

    Bump, no interest at all, I can drive to the state line westward if someone wants to meet and buy the car.

    I drove the car for a while, it is licensed, insured, and passed inspection for this state, it is totally road legal. I will not crush the car, I have thought about parting it but it is really in to good of shape to do so.
