Should be a 400 sbc in that car in 75 I believe. I am golfing in Stouffville on Thursday, might make a side trip to the ATM on theway. Would make a nice parts hauler or tow vehicle.

Looks like a solid wagon. I just don't like all the green!
I like the last line in the ad:
"We are very interested in selling Laurie to someone who will restore her. Not to go in a smash up derby!"

Here is engine chart for 1976, I am 99.9% certain it is a carry over from 1975 so according to this it's a 400 4bbl and I do believe it is a small block. You will need to use your Zoom feature to read it.
I love that car especially the puke green colour. We had that same colour on our driving training 74 LeMans supplied by Rumble Pontiac Buick when I did my training at Leaside High. We can always find excuses but I had six cars for a while this summer and believe me, living in the heart of Toronto and finding parking for that mini fleet is not an easy situation. On the first day of school two of mine got tickets right beside my house for over time parking, what a P'off. Maybe I can convince someone I know to buy it.

Velour or velours is a plush, knitted fabric or textile. It is usually made from cotton but can also be made from synthetic materials such as polyester. Velour is used in a wide variety of applications, including clothing and upholstery.
Frequent uses
Velour is a knitted fabric, allowing it to stretch. It combines the stretchy properties of knits such as spandex with the rich appearance and feel of velvet. Velour is used in dance wear for the ease of movement it affords, and is also popular for warm, colorful, casual clothing. When used as upholstery, velour often is substituted for velvet. Velour is also widely used in the manufacture of theater drapes and stage curtains. Velours used for this range from 16oz per linear yard to 32oz per linear yard[citation needed] (0.5 - 1.0 kg/m). In the last decade, velour has been used for pillow covers and mattress coverings. Luxury memory foam mattresses usually come outfitted with Jacquard velour covers, for their comfort and elasticity, as well as their flame resistance. Cotton velour is treated with flame retardant chemicals when used in this application.[citation needed] In contrast, many lower-end air mattresses come manufactured with velour sleeping surfaces.

Nothing compares to those plush Velour interiors from the mid 70's luxo barges! It wouldn't be hard to wake up that 455 either. I have a magazine with a 72 Electra pulling the front wheel..
My wifes father drove a big Electra and so did a friend in universaity. You can not beat these cars for ride and this coming from a Cadillac guy. I doubt you would need more power, 455 can burn lots of rubber even in a car that size.
Wife's dad would let me drive him to the cottage after he closed up his resturant on the Danforth on Saturday nights, well Sunday mornings really, before we were married. The darn car had a speed reminder. He was generous with it usually set it a just over 140 kph, but the second I'd hit it he wake up and give it to me. He called me Rye-co and he would say " Rye-co easy easy" then fall back asleep. I could usually make the 2 1/4 hour trip in 90 minutes at that time of night.

Todd, you and I share the passion for one of those Electras. I've dreamed of one of those since I worked at the Buick dealer in the mid 70's. We sold a few of those but never see them around anymore. Absolutely beautiful cars, tons of room, etc.

The best thing about these big Buicks is the horn. Sounds like a CN frieght train coming through. If any of you guys are in salvage yards and see these, grab the horns, big Caddys also have similar horns.
I used to own a 73 LeSabre 2-door ... loved the fact that you could swing open the passenger-side (barn) door on it, and knock people off the sidewalk!
It had a navy velour interior ... ahhhhh!
