This 1962 Buick Electra is electric

Thanks to eBay seller zanatreasurechest based in Texas, there’s a 1962 Buick Electra on the market and it’s in fantastic condition.

It’s listed for $18,500 and looks like it was recently renovated for $34K to return it back to its former glory.

The 1962 Buick Electra has an interesting history.

The engine design debuted in 1959 before a new engine was introduced in 1964, so unfortunately this Buick just missed out on the newer engine.

But it has a lot more going for it.
