1977 Buick Electra Limited sedan review from North America

"Big and ugly, but I love it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brake rotors and pads.

Fuel tank (got a hole knocked in it).

Front wheel bearings.

Headliner starting to sag.

Power window motor went out in back.

Replaced all shock absorbers.

General comments?

My friends call it "the beast", but I love my baby. It's a big ugly green booger lookin' mother, but it has room inside, and lots of power. The seats are like sitting in lazy boys.

It drinks gas like there's no tommorow - oh well.

Sure is comfortable for long trips, like Oz-Fest last summer. Many people are surprised at just how much guts this old dog has, I was ticketed last month for going 119 in a 75, and lost my license for a while. Probably enough power under the hood to pull a freight train, by my guess.

The original stereo sucked, well not that bad since it's older than me, but that's the first time I actually SAW an 8-track. My friends joked about it for weeks. But my beast has treated me well so far, with ice cold A/C and almost instant heat in the winter, and I will keep it for a while, until I can find a car that attracts girls rather than scaring the living hell out of them.
