1978 Buick Electra, 75,000km, 6.6L, excellent shape for the year, all original, I am the 2nd second owner, newer tires, good brakes, new plugs, wires and cap, have original build sheet, runs great. $2100 obo.
My Father-in-law had one. He paid $7,800 for it back in '78, fully loaded, White, White red guts. He'd close his restaurant on the Danforth in Toronto Sunday Morning at 1:30 am and let me drive him to his cottage to be with the family. I was 20 and not married to his daughter then. I thought I was king of the road wheeling the big Buick, I suspect the same way my son feels when I toss him the DTS keys now. Johnny always set the speed warning at 140, and inevitably I'd wake him up on my run up HWY 400.
I will refrain from saying anything about the subject car, but here's ours.
subject car is a nice car for the money Ray and you have driven one ill bet they drive nice!
My opinion is that the particular Buick Electra Park Avenue I drove was a nicer car than my Cadillac Fleetwood and rode better than all of the Cadillacs I have owned including my late model DTS. With the car being an elegant white white exterior my wife and I were often asked to borrow the car and use it in friends weddings as the wedding party car.
Too long, over 18 ft...i'd have a foot of it out the garage :( I'll double check that measurement but i'm pretty sure i'm limited to 17. I don't have your standard sized garage.

A two foot extension to the garage could be done in an afternoon for the cost of two twenty four's.

I parked the rear of my car against the back wall, and there was 4" to spare when I closed the doors. A '64 Parisienne is 213" (17 & 3/4 feet long). I added on 8 feet.

about the same length as my garage, a tad longer, not sure if that 64's nose wouldn't stick out of mine. When i had the Trans Am i had it up against the back wall and had about a foot in front if i was lucky.
