    Hello I wanted to start this post because I have a 1972 buick limited 4 door that I may need to get rid of. I've begun the restoration on it, but it's completely torn down so I may have to part it out. I wanted to see what parts you guys might be interested in so I can decide if it's worth parting. Thanks much and feel free to ask questions.

    If you're talking Electra limited then I need a few parts. If you decide to start stripping it down shoot me a line.

    Backup lights that mount in the rear bumper

    Quarter panel side skirts

    Any of the clips/linkages that go on the drivers side wiper arm. Right now the spring is loose and the lower mini arm won't stay on the stud so when the wiper moves the blade starts to flop around.

    Trunk lock cover assembly

    And a bunch more stuff probably.

    ok is your a 2 or 4 door? I may have some skirts that may need a little to get them looking good. I would have to see, first what I have in spare parts.

    also are you sure yours is a 72' electra limited, because the back up lights are mounted in the rear taillights not in the bumper?:Do No:

    Mine's a '73 Electra 225 4-door hardtop. At least that's the official name of it. Just not many people dealing in Electra parts and some of them parts are used for multiple years. Never know if you don't ask :TU:

    Oh yeah definately, you could use some selected 71 and 72 parts, that's mostly what I have not much for the 73'. The skirts will fit though and your correct on the taillights, I'll keep my eyes peeled for 73 parts. Send or post pics and I'll help you out I try to get stuff if I can afford it for 71-73' models. Thanks I'll take a look for those skirts.

    These are the backup lights. They are basically a 1 piece design with the lens and housing as 1 big piece of brittle yellow plastic. The passenger side is broken in a few places and the drivers side isn't far behind.

    How do the power lock and window switches look on yours - good condition?
