    Nicest One Left?
    23k Mile 1977 Buick Electra Limited


    [​IMG]

    In response to the energy crisis of the early 1970s, General Motors set about “right-sizing” its cars beginning in 1977.
    It was really more about downsizing and full-size machines like the Buick Electra were the first to shed size and weight to be more fuel-efficient.

    The changes resulted in no loss of passenger or luggage space, so sales of the ’77 Electra Limited Landau Coupe were strong.
    This one is owned by a senior citizen who will no longer need transportation as this one has only traveled 500 miles a year since new.

    Could this be the nicest one left?

    From 1959 to 1990, the Electra (also Electra 225) was the top-of-the-line luxury car sold by Buick and was on par with the Olds 98.
    With the great shrinkage of 1977, the Limited became the car to own if buying a Cadillac wasn’t on your shopping list.

    The loss of 800 pounds meant that a 350 cubic inch V8 could now do the work of what a 455 did the year before.
    You could opt for a 403 built by Oldsmobile if you were so inclined.

    Nearly 38,000 Limited coupes were built to augment the 82,000 4-door sedans that were sold with that trim level.

    We’re told that this Buick is as it was when it rolled off the assembly line 47 years ago.
    Except for the tires, which are brand new.
    The odometer reading is correct – 23,000 miles, not 123,000.

    The body and paint are flawless, and the interior looks as though it has never been sat in.
    The overall appearance of this vehicle is what they mean by stepping out of a time capsule.

    If these cars suffered any due to GM’s efforts to build a more sensible automobile for the times, I don’t know what it would be.
    While an automobile like this is a departure from the non-descript luxury cars of the 21st Century, this vehicle should turn lots of heads when touring down the road.

    From Franklin, Tennessee, this survivor is available here on craigslist for $14,500 or the “nearest offer”.
    Sounds reasonable considering what cars go for these days.
