1976 4dr hardtop sedan
1976 Buick Electra
Up for sale is my 1976 Buick Electra 225. I purchased thiscar from the original owner in Sommerville, MA in 2014. I’ve performed manyupgrades to this vehicle over the past decade, but I simply do not have thetime to continue with this hobby/project.
Car starts, runs, and drives but needs tuning. Recommend tow or trailering home. I have only driven this car in & out of my driveway for the past 1.5 years.
