1978 Buick Electra car value?

Postby chance24 » Thu Mar 25, 2010 2:23 pm

Hey guys this is the situation I need to find out what this car is worth. It belonged to my great grandmother and it only has 32,000 original miles on it. The paint and body are in good shape. I am going to sale it but have no idea what its worth. Any car guys with any info would help greatly.

Slap some spinners and gangster whitewalls on it and it should fetch big money.

if it's electra 225 (AKA deuce & a quarta) & clean, you should be able to get decent coin for this car in da hood.

NADA says between 4500 and 8K
Not knowing the specifics I ran several and that's the range I came up with.

Sorry guys I was mistaken It is a 4 door 78 electra 225. Some reason I have been thinking it was a 73 which would have been more ghetto. I think it still has a chance. Teul any info would be great for the deuce and a quarter. I just went and picked it up and I had forgot how baby blue it was. I mean baby blue from front to back and inside and out. Ill try to get some pics posted. I have tried to compare it on some sights but I havent found anything really like it.
