INCREDIBLE!! 1976 Buick Electra Limited

A walk around of my 1976 Buick Electra Hard top.

[@Robert8455]

Beautiful and a fine example of mid 70's American big block land yachts that ruled the interstate.

[@edwardllorens]

Beautiful 🥰! That machine has literally been loved it's whole life and it shows. 👍🏻

[@davidallen5776]

The Seventies, no doubt, was the decade of image...and living color!

[@garyjones1287]

I Love 💘 those ole school Land Yachats just sailing down the highway with the air blowing jamming good old days 😁

[@PhotoLabMP]

I've always liked those Buick wheels.

[@carlcampbell6827]

There was a guy in our neighborhood that had a new 76 Limited in Black. Wow what an impressive classy looking limo. I was very jelous!

[@christopherwilkins7607]

Absolutely Beautiful. Most definitely the finest Limited I've seen yet. So clean, so original down to the Buick Mags. Keep it just like that. A winna. Maybe check tune, shouldn't wind that long to start.

[@stangslayerws6]

That was a heat soaked super hot day start by friend that didn't even touch the gas pedal. She starts immediately when I start her

[@christopherwilkins7607]

@@stangslayerws6 ok den. Forgot carbureted not fuel injection. That's cool. Just looking at video again. A beautiful top notch Buick. Still say best I've seen. Like it a lot. Take care, stay safe.

I am hoping mine comes out similar to yours. You have inspired me. Liberty White it is.

[@stangslayerws6]

Liberty white looks beautiful on these cars. Almost live ice cream

[@KevinBarry-j8w]

Looks brand new,wow!

[@stangslayerws6]

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching. My Buicks are most definitely a labor of love

[@CAPRICELOVER]

Awesome.........the last buick full size!!!!!

[@russellgeorge1993]

Beautiful car

[@markwoodley712]

The interior fabric and tufted upholstery could be used to line a casket. Nice touch with J.S. Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D Minor accompaniment, but seriously I love these half B pillar cars with the expansiveness with windows and doors open and I miss sealed beam headlamps like these. Thanks for sharing.

[@jameskash1306]

Love the car...

[@TommyZTrains]

"Ah: a man after my own heart" !!! "I HAD a 76 Electra" !!!. Like yours it had automatic air, but mine had a "trip-set" speed alert, and a mileage monitor amid the tel-tail lights and of course: the cornering lights ! *It also had a chromed header panel !. I used to love an watch those little 194 bulb's (in the back-up light assy's), "wash-out" ta too a brilliant white upon putting her in reverse. Anyway: all the way down too a mirror thermometer, it had everything !. I know this car so WELL ! "My God yours is BEAUTIFUL" and the last the the big-carthaginian "Gun-Ship's" !. That said: I would think the seat track "foot-print's" are the same, and you'll need ta find a "60" power seat track. So far a a metal cut-out in the existing structures FRAME ?, "I honestly don't know". This era car is my "forte", as I worked at the Flagship Buick Dealer and these cars were VERY common ta see. "The Clocks ALWAYS worked well too" !. Mine was (I'm looking at a pic now), a lite-blue color and you'll NEVER find a better riding car anywhere PERIOD. Wish I could be of more help on the seat, but that's ALL that I know / can remember ... "GOD WHAT A CAR" "beautiful" ... :- )

[@stangslayerws6]

Thanks for the kind words and your reply. I am getting the power seat tracks out of a 1974 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency so I hope it is a straight forward installation. The main difference being that the Oldsmobile has chrome trim at the bottom of the seat that the switch pokes its controls through. I guess I will just pull the seat and see if there is a mounting place already on the manual seat frame. Thanks again. Here is a video of her at a car show with a little better lighting if your interested. THANKS! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnWyi6xth7aZgdE

I'd rather hear the engine than your organ music.

[@barrybrittain6157]

Beautiful car! Even nicer than the Cadillacs of the time! Awesome red velour seats and love those taillights! Would love to have one of these if I could afford and then find one! Could've done without the Tocatta and Fugue music, though! Very cheesy and unnecessary!👎Just to hear that old big block GM engine running is beautiful music to me!😊❤👍It must be a 455? Very nice!

[@omarr6021]

gorgeous car MACHALLAH ,my father had one it was the park avenue limited with the front fixed center console and believe it had all the options TOMMY ztrain is talking about i think the color was called firestorm red with matching vinyl roof and interior.i been searching for one to buy and restore in honor and memory of my dad .pls let me know if you would consider selling

[@stangslayerws6]

I love her too thank you for watching

[@cszetela1]

My mother had this car.

[@1_Papa]

Great car, but it makes it's own beautiful music! I get that both are classics; "Toccata And Fugue In D-Minor" by Johann Sebastian Bach is about as classic as you can get. But so is this masterpiece on wheels, so next time, maybe you can let each classic speak for itself, hmm? Just a thought. 😐! 🐰

[@stangslayerws6]

If you look at my channel, you will find several videos of my Electras without background music.

[@steves4639]

wow, this is perfect. hope you still own it. not usually a fan of velour, prefer the earlier brocades, but on this car it seems so right...esp in that boudoir color. i don't think any GM car came with duals in '76, other than corvette with dual tail pipes...must have been added later on.

[@stangslayerws6]

Thanks. Check out my KZbin channel. I own 2 of them 😍

[@richardg9698]

at the 1:34 mark of this video you see the Buick Emblem on the vinyl top. How do you refurbish these pieces?

[@stangslayerws6]

There really is no way to refurbish them. Any of them, including hood ornament or trunk lock emblem. They are metal emblems with red, clear and blue plastic glued on top of them. I found NOS ones on eBay The vinyl top emblems are by far the hardest to come across.

[@richardg9698]

@@stangslayerws6 Not sure what you mean by NOS ones? Sounds like not original parts? Anyways, yes, really tough to find them. I put into search engines Buick Emblems and all you get are hood ornaments. Thank you again for your help. I am learning more and more watching and listening to what you are saying about your cars to learn more about my own. Today watching your Video about the car PARKAVE that its different to the Electra's. Mine must be an Electra limited. Still do not know the difference in the models with the turn signals(?) on the front fenders to which mine does not have them. Thank you Again.

[@stangslayerws6]

@@richardg9698 NOS means New Old Stock. Basically a 50 year old part that has never been used and is most times still in it's original box. The lights in the fenders on my Park Avenue are cornering lamps. They were optional on all 3 models of Electra in 1976 (Electra 225 which is base model) (Electra Limited) and (Electra Park Avenue) Do you have Facebook? Easier to chat and discuss there
