dmfconsult Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Strangely, there was one in that same color combination for sale locally here about 10-years ago. It was cheap enough and a little rusty, and missing a couple of limited only interior pieces, but I just didn't have room for another Electra. Good luck in your search!

60FlatTop Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 If you get a chance, washing a car before you buy it can give you some perspective on the size. My son learned young on our '68. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The marketing people will tell you the '68 has a longer hood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, because the wipers are hidden on a 68, while the 67 has them exposed! The 68 is 1" longer at 224.9" than the 67 as well as believe... almost a true 225 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Brink Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Don't know where you are located, Paul, or if you prefer 4 door, convertible, etc. but check out this one that showed up on Craigslist today. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/cto/d/los-angeles-1967-buick-electra/7446559883.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Here is a 1967 Electra 225 4-door hardtop for sale in Ohio. All it lacks is the "Limited" trim, and its original paint looks a bit faded; but with some work, I believe it could be beautiful. Here is the link, and some information copied from the ad: https://youngstown.craigslist.org/cto/d/youngstown-1967-buick-electra-225/7447078611.html "1967 Buick Electra 225 - $13,500 (Boardman) 1967 Buick a true survivor could be a everyday driver still has original paint. Power windows and seats a/c still working. Brand new rims and tires still has a working factory radio. Also has a power trunk be ready for summer with a nice oldschool. Just turned 100k so she’s not a garage or trailer queen. Black leather interior all original a very nice car. Calls only." (330) 402-2873.

dmfconsult Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Missed that too! It looks like the Same plate on both the white and black top so they must have replaced it recently. Interior looks pretty nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, I just sent you a Private Message about a 1967 Electra 4-door hardtop which I saw for sale on-line. It's off-white-- I think "ivory" in Buick's 1967 color chips. I don't know the car, but maybe it will appeal to you. All the best in your continuing search!

John_S_in_Penna Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Does anyone know how to reach Paul? I sent him a P. M., but he hasn't been on the forum for almost a week, to see the response here or the Private Message. I hope he won't miss the 1967 Electra which I pointed out to him.

EmTee Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I think he has a variable work schedule which sometimes takes him out of the country. That may be why he hasn't checked in lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
