1976 Buick Electra 225 Limited Junkyard Find. Check out that interior!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Ran across this nice looking 1976 Buick Electra 225 in one of my local junkyards. 76 was the last year of the big body GM land yachts and this Buick went out in style. That red velour interior was popping. The big block Buick 455 that was under the hood would also bid farewell in 76.

    You never talk to much. You have a lot of valuable knowledge in this field that we need. I hope that idiot moved on to screw with someone else. Those seats might have been recovered compared with the fading in the carpet but I could be wrong. I like the the styling of these older cars the new ones all look a like. Thanks for another great video and sharing your knowledge. I hate vinyl tops they kill a car before it’s time.

    Having owned a '68 Electra, I have an appreciation for these land yachts. That roof will need repairs, but it protected the interior pretty good. I know you don't turn the engines to see if they're free, but the 455 is worth the price of admission, and I think it's a worthy project car. 👍

    Love the old Electra’s. Had a ‘70 in I think they called it desert mist. Last year before they started downgrading the HP. She’d just cruise all day long. Got better mileage than you’d think. Overall highway and town I’d get @ 15mpg. My Dad would see me coming and he’d say “ Here comes Greg in the Queen Mary”. Great car 👍

    She's minty! That said, some of the GM makes looked great with the rectangular headlamps ('76 Caprice) this one looked ho-hum. Agree the interior color is outstanding, but don't care for a pillow top seat; the pillow tops are a nuisance to slidin' yur a$$ ta get in. Got the big displacement, but it was a dog. Guessing the Park Avenue refers to the vinyl top, maybe Mr. Google can describe the sub-models. No doubt a loaded-up, luxurious ride. Cruise with all the windows down on that hard top, feel like grand marshal of the parade any day of the week

    Mechanical parts are easy to come by as it shares a lot with other Buick V8s of the era and a lot with other big GM cars of that era. 1971-1976 C body cars were basically the same, and some parts are shared with the B body cars too, depending on the part.

    Whoa Nelley, Division four and soon to be no more. This was the pinnacle Buick for 1976. You made it in the Buick world in 1976 with one of these and the next step was a Cadillac. That's why the divisions are in order: 1 for Chevrolet, 2 for Pontiac, 3 for Oldsmobile, 4 for Buick and then 6 for Cadillac. It was designed to "step up" the customer to the next level. Yes, the Park Ave was an option on the Electra 225 and included Lombardy cloth interior trim, vinyl top, special ornamentation, and other trim appointments. We got the VIN, we win: 4 for Buick, X for Electra 225 Limited, 39 for four door sedan hardtop, Y for 455 V8 with four barrel, Buick produced, approximately 205 HP, 6 for 1976 model year, H for Flint, MI assembly aka "Buick City" and the rest is the production sequence. The Flint, MI Buick "home" plant operated from 1904 to 1999. Correct, the 454 CID Chevrolet, 500 Cadillac 455 Pontiac, Olds and Buick V8s were last used in 1976. Some continued onward (such as the 454 Chevrolet) in truck use. Can't read the city and state/zip on the warranty folder. Too far away and the camera shots are poor quality. We got the tag, we can brag: ST76 for 1976 model year, 4CX39 for Buick (4) Electra 225 Limited (CX) four door hardtop (39), FL1 for Flint, MI assembly, 74E for Burgundy/Red cloth interior trim, 11L for Liberty White lower exterior paint, 11T for White vinyl top, 04E for the fifth week of April 1976 production, AM5 for split front bench seat with center armrest and six-way power adjustment, CA for Carmine/Burgundy secondary interior trim, AU3 for power door locks, and A31 for power windows. Whoa Nelley, 4CX69 it out of time. 225 is soon to not be alive. Deuce and a Quarter turned into a hoarder. That's it, time to quit. 455 needs to be alive. Quadrajet was a sure bet. Hardtop took a big flop. "C" body is not too shoddy. Liberty White and soon to be out of sight. Going to be flat and that's that. Big block on the chopping block. Made in Flint and needs a hint. Made in MI and going bye-bye. Please don't get squished because many here, for sure Benny and you betcha the Google Man are going to be very, very, very, very, very pissed.

    You'll never see those great luxury cars with the long wheelbases & wide tracks with the great ride & plush interiors & you can thank the EPA & the oil companies for that as well as killing off all of the great muscle cars. Most of the cars in this day & age look like CRAP!!! They have no style or character & they're ugly with FWD & a buckboard ride. They're just transportation & that's it!!!
