Have owned 3 72 Electras. 2 4-doors and 1 2-door. Never had any major problems with these cars. The 455 engine is one of the best as is the 400 trans. Tune-ups are a snap.Interiors are spacious and roomy. Great heating and A/C systems. Keep an eye on your vacuum lines around the carburetor. One leak can cause it to idle rough. These cars were very well buiilt and will run forever with proper maintenance. Many people intimidated by the size but they're very easy to handle. Last year before huge 5mph bumpers made mandatory on big GM cars so styling is smoother. Low compression engines (8.5 to 1) means they will not ping on todays super unleaded. If you find a well maintained original example grab it.

This was a heavy duty machine. I hit a deer at 55 mph and though some damage was done, it kept on ticking for until I traded it for something that was better to look at. It had a smooth ride, roomy, and handled well. It was BIG...really BIG!

Original big block 455 engine, so it's fast and powerful. One of the longest 2-door sedans ever made at 19 feet long. This thing is just a tank, not a piece of crappy plastic on there. Gas mileage is about 14 city/16 highway, but so far I've only had to replace some filters and it's cost me $50 in repairs since I got it. Handles well on whatever you throw at it, with an insanely smooth ride as well.
