blue225 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Hi, I'm working on a 72 electra and would anyone know where I might find a boneyard that has these cars. I need everything interior. Ill be driving cross country next week so location doesn't matter. Heading to the east coast. Thanks in advance, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found the website www.car-part.com to be useful for not-so-old antique cars. There, participating junkyards list cars they have. You can search that website for specific parts, such as "dashboard." Some specific searches may come up empty, but I've found that searching for a larger part brings more results. For example, if you need a cigarette lighter, it's unlikely any junkyard has itemized that small item; but if you search for "fender," and they have the car you need, they will also have many unitemized parts. Telephone them and ask specifically. All the best to you in your search! Edited July 10 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7th Son Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Browse through the junkyard section of this form. Most have photos and phone numbers. It would be wise to call ahead to ensure they have whatever you might need. There are specialty Buick parts suppliers of all kinds on the Internet, too. Do your homework first before going on a 3000+ mile trek and coming up empty handed. It's probably too late now to be of any help for this trip, but joining the Buick Club of America (BCA) gives you access to more resources and knowledgeable people. Forum members are usually happy to help with questions, but people need to do a little work and research themselves, too. Information is out there, and not difficult to find.

GARY F Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I gave a 72 electra to Cars a few years back for them to sell complete or parts. They gladly took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, you might provide a telephone number or an internet link, since the name "CARS" is very generic sounding. I'm sure our owner will appreciate your reference.

John_S_in_Penna Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) The original questioner has been back to the forum, but has said nothing since then. I hope we'll hear of some successful results.

Peter Gariepy Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Your subject title isnt doing you any favors: 72 electra interior? How about... 1972 Buick Electra - need everything interior - anyone know a junkyard or parts vendor? You should also consider posting this in the post-war buick discussion forum. https://forums.aaca.org/forum/57-buick-post-war/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
