Guest Shaffer Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 I am looking for a restorable 71-73 Buick Electra 4-door hardtop sedan. Must have rust free floors and frame, decent interior and running condition. Prefer under $2,000 / or will consider trading my 71 Chevrolet Caprice 4-door hardtop for one of equal value. Pictures of Caprice upon request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaffer Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 Thanks for the info. Sounds exactly what I am looking for and it is not even that far away (6 hours) and I have family in Richmond and the price is right, but that color definetly ruins it for me. Thanks again.

Guest Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 you could always re-paint. i saw one with a white exterior and the dark green interior, it had dark green pin-stripes (not original) and looked really good. <P>this one, in brown, does sound kinda odd, but it was their company colors, go figure.<BR><P>------------------<BR>allan<BR>--------------<BR>50 special, 455/th400<BR>64 stude gt hawk, 289/auto<BR>76 poncho GP, 400/th400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaffer Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 I wonder if that was a factory color combo or if they special ordered it. Must be special ordered. I think no one would want a car that color combo. It could be painted white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 this is an old post of mine, but i think the guy still has the car:<P>i ran across a guy selling a 73 electra 225 4door hardtop. it has 455 motor and is not wrecked. i have not seen the car,<BR> but talked to people who have, as well as the owner, and it sounds pretty solid.<P> just over 100K miles, has not run in 4 or years.<P> the interesting thing is it was originally purchased by the philip morris tobacco company as a daily driver for one of<BR> their executives. as such, it features the PM company colors in 73, dark brown exterior and dark green interior.<P> that has to be the weirdest sounding color combo in the world.<P> at this point, the man wants 1200 bucks, but it would not take much to talk him down.<P> you can reach him at (804) 222-5061 and his name is ed madison. in richmond, va<P><P>------------------<BR>allan<BR>--------------<BR>50 special, 455/th400<BR>64 stude gt hawk, 289/auto<BR>76 poncho GP, 400/th400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
