1964 Buick LeSabre 355 Wildcat Engine
This Buick LeSabre is a great car. It has 72,000 miles. 4 doors without pillars, great for open window cruising. It is 100% original. Everything is totally stock. I would like to call it a barn find since it came from the 2nd owner who just drove it for fun. I will rate the condition good for a 50 year old car.
This is a great start for a Rat Rod or Lowrider or great Summer Classic Cruiser.
There are only a couple small spots of rust in normal places – at bottom of front fenders and a small spot at bottom fear fender. Any other rust is only surface rust. The car has mostly original paint. I say that because the rooftop is original patina in deep blue. The bottom of the car is original paint on top half. It appears the bottom half was repainted some. There is no rust at all on the pillars, floor boards, trunk, and window areas or around critical structure areas. The floorboards are really clean.
The body on all the lines is straight. The doors show dings and a couple dents which seem to have been pushed back out, but there is no break or rust in the metal. The rear bumper does need to be replaced. The original owner was elderly and bumped a few things which are why the doors and rear bumper show the dings and dents. Bottom line is the cars body is a great place to start for a restore or touch it up to drive it like it is.
The 355 Wildcat Engine runs good and can drive reasonable distances right now. This was the year they went back to a cast iron block with aluminum heads and intake. It will need a water pump which I will replace. It also needs an exhaust system and just has cheater duals on it for now. This way you can pick the kind of exhaust you want. Power Steering, Power Brakes, 2 speed transmission all work great.
Almost every function on the car seems to work. The windows work great. The wing windows easily. The doors close smooth and solid. All the rubber is in good to great shape. The trunk weather stripping is in great shape. The hood padding underneath is in great shape as well. The electronics, turn signals, windshield wipers – even the squirters work and has a backup glass water bottle under the hood.
The interior is also in great shape, appears original and good looking. There are two minor tears in the seats but not in the seating area. The original carpet is exceptionally clean. All the interior door panels are in real good shape but the driver’s panel needs a little attention to put the vinyl in place at the very bottom.
The issues I see that need attention are, the exhaust, carb should be rebuilt or replaced to be more efficient, heater core is disconnected and may need replacing, door body panels are not perfect, and will need new tires to be road trustworthy.
This is a great car to invest in. We bought it to use to promote our business, but we have to reduce our projects. You can have a cool car, rat rod, lowrider or anything you want to make of it.
I am asking $4,500 or best offer. If you’re short on cash, I can take a credit card for payment since I bought this to use for my business promotion.
Possible delivery may be an option to certain parts of the country for a reasonable cost.

Malaise Era Junkyard Gem: 1979 Buick Electra Limited
Wed, Jun 22 2016In the fall of 1973, the Arab members of OPEC shut off the oil taps, and Detroit got busy making many of their full-sized land yachts a lot smaller. By model year 1977, the downsized fifth-generation Buick Electra was ready to go ... just in time for the 1979 Iranian Revolution to squeeze the supply of the black stuff even further. You won't see many of the 1977-85 Electras these days, but I spotted this faded but solid '79 Limited sedan in a Denver self-service yard last week. General Motors must have bought up the entire world's supply of blue velour around this time, because you'll see this stuff in just about every car they made for the following decade or so. By this time, GM was doing a lot of mixing-and-matching with engines from its various divisions, which meant you could buy an Oldsmobile 88 with a Chevrolet 350 V8 engine, a Chevrolet Monza with a Buick 231 V6 engine, or— as in this case— a Buick Electra with an Oldsmobile 350 V8 engine. Do you want to know how many horses this engine delivered to this 3,631-pound car? 155 horsepower out of 5.7 liters of engine displacement. Times were tough during the Malaise Era.

Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade
Sun, 23 Jun 2013In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
