suchan Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Beautiful car, but a lot of issues to address. Fixing rust and bad electrics (and whatever else) doesn't come cheap. I was in the market for a '67 or '69 Electra convertible for quite a while, but the nice ones were prohibitively expensive, and the ones in my price range (low-mid $20k's) all had significant flaws, although nothing like this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Conley Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 A little (ok, a lot) of cleaning would go a long way. Does not present well at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suchan, you may know that 1969 Electra convertibles are out there to be found, and aren't rare, but 1967 versions are much scarcer. Your stated budget should get you a nice 1969--except when dealers have them vastly overpriced. With patience, you may even have your choice of colors. If you're still looking, all the best to you in your search! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently moved, and an Electra wouldn't fit in our new garage anyway, so I think I'll hang onto my LaSalle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
