Style 60-4739 1960 Buick Electra 4 Door HardtopBody BK Built in Kansas City, MO
Trim 721 Grey/Black Cloth Interior
Paint BC1 Gull Grey w/ Arctic White Roof
Acc. N Factory Air Conditioner

Gull Grey with White Top Black/grey interior.Power steering, Power Brakes, A/C, 6-way power seat, Clock, Rear Seat Speaker.
Purchased from an older gentleman who had plans to restore it (owned since 1995) parked under a carport from '95-'22 until I acquired it.Several extra parts. New windshield (with seal), turn signal cam, lenses, brake shoes.
NOS original fabric to recover seats!All trim is present.
I've done work to get the engine runningNew Battery, rebuilt starter, installed Pertronix electronic ignition, went through carb, new belts.Car starts and runs (bypassed fuel tank, used electronic fuel pump)
Brakes not functioning. (Purchased '65 Buick brake booster to switch to dual master setup direct bolt in)
Body is actually pretty solid. There is some rust through starting on the passenger rear quarter and the drivers side rear floor will need replaced. I'm sure there are other areas as well, but overall its in pretty good shape.

There is light body damage to the rear (looks like the bumper got bent by being backed into something or being pulled) it looks worse in the pictures because the bumper bolts were loosened and it is actually just hanging loose. There is a dent in the passenger rear door and old bodywork in the passenger quarter as well. (drivers side looks pretty straight)Passenger front door glass and windshield are cracked (replacement windshield included), all other glass looks good.Aftermarket seat belts were added to the front seat. (Seat belts were not a factory option in 1960)

Car needs a full restoration, but would be a good candidate. It's an unmolested original car for the most part.I purchased it because I'd much rather start with a factory original car than something someone else has "fixed up" in the past.
Engine runs and idles nicely. Transmission does not lock in park and when shifting through the gears nothing happens.(not sure if its the linkage or something else, haven't bothered to troubleshoot)
Missing power steering pump(everything else seems to be present under the hood)

CD with 1960 Buick shop manuals included
