1972 Electra Custom 11,600 miles

This 72 Electra Custom with 11,600 original miles followed me home Tuesday. Hunter Green with black vinyl roof and green interior. It's like driving a new 72 Electra 44 years later.

Nice Electra, life is too short to drive a small Buick
If you can find the time, post a few interior photos :kodak:

 

No Brad, I found this one 49 minutes from home. Plans are to detail it out and then possibly flip it.

 

Very nice!

 

Beautiful! Nice find. My parents had it's identical twin around '76. I used it for a couple of dates. All the girls loved going for "boat rides". :TU:

 

Have about 17 hours into the detailing now, another 2 evening and it should be done

Very nice! What's the story behind the low miles?

 

Typical old person story, 2nd owner bought it in 1993 and has been in storage ever since.

 

Very nice car! Time capsule.

 

can't wait to see the "after" engine pics!

 

Engine compartment is done, I would never repaint and re-do under the hood of an 11,000 original miles car. Under hood is original right down to the original belts and hoses which are still in surprisingly good condition. You preserve a time capsule

 

Beautiful... Its so green!

 

Agreed! How about pictures though?

 

WOW! That is one impressive survivor!!!:TU:
