This auction is for a nice original one owner (I am the 2nd owner, title not transferred) 1973 Buick Electra Limited with 67,000 original miles.  This is a nice original car with some body dents/scrapes but overall a fantastic original car which would make an excellent club touring car.  The interior is near pristine with some water spots on the seating near the windows probably owing to the 4 door hardtop sealing in heavy rain or car washes.

Please note I go out of my way to reveal issues which make the car not perfect but these do not detract from the overall beauty of this car because it is unmolested.  Note the bumper rubber-perfect. There is no rust EXCEPT for bubbling in 2 spots at the base of the vinyl padded top in back and what appears to be some rust on the hood caused from unremoved bird droppings? that sort of thing.

There is a small dent on the drivers front fender and a door ding which detracts from appearance on the drivers door. I received a $950 estimate to remove these and blend new paint. I have not done this work however.

The rest of the body and chrome are spectacular original and this car begs to be left that way. I am selling because in 2012, I ended up purchasing a total of 6 cars. Way too many. Most of my other cars are non running projects with no real value. They would be difficult to sell because few people are doing extensive projects.  This car was purchased so that I could enjoy Buick Club events like the National meet by driving a real bonified Buick to the meets and chapter events.  I was going to do this while restoring my 73 Centurion, then sell this car later. 

However, after the purchase of this Limited, I went crazy and purchased another 3 cars and now am out of room. 

MECHANICAL ISSUES:   There are 2 mechanical issues that I discovered. One is leaking valve covers, which causes an odor for about 2 minutes and a slight exhaust tick until warmed up. Neither are considered horrible issues but again, I believe in full disclosure.

The car was photographed this summer but resides in my heated garage and has ever since purchase. It is presently dusty, and the quality of the photos would be much worse so I chose these outside shots.

The Limited was the top of the Line Electra model in 1973 and includes Limited level upholstery and these cars are very well optioned. As far as I know, all options except cruise control and a/c work. The car did not get much use for years by the original elderly owner, so I suspect the a/c and cruise need sorted,  but this is a very original unmolested car. Lights, wipers, horn, etc all work. All four power windows work well. 

Driving this car shows no out of balance condition, fantastic power and smoothness, just like a 67,000 original mile car should go.  There is an aftermarket outside mirror on the passenger side which I am replacing with a correct Buick factory mirror and there is a strange 3rd high mounted taillight which I assume the original owner put in. 

Seats have no tears and show no wear except some water staining in a place or two. Carpet is pristine as is the dash.  Just a fantastic car. Original wire wheel hubcaps. Perfect chrome and trim. Glass is uncracked and perfect.  Trunk is beautiful.  NO hidden rust. 

Opening price represents my cost plus ebay costs if sold. I am not making money on this car.  I can tell you that I comb craigs list for 71-73 full size Buicks and this car is priced way below everything else I have seen with similar mileage and is in better condition then most of those cars. Most of those cars are not selling. Don't pay crazy money for those or even be tempted. This is the car for you because of honest description and amazing original owner condition.

Contact with questions. I have included all flaws noted but would be happy to answer any questions if I can.
