1968 Buick Lesabre Convertible With Custom Wheels No Reserve on 2040-cars
Mishawaka, Indiana, United States
|
Beautiful 1968 Buick Le Sabre Convertible Amazing condition for a 44 year old car
! A great deal of money has been spent on body, paint and wheels.
Looks great . I was told this car came from California. From the
lack of rust and corrosion underneath on the frame I find this
believable. Very low miles, under 89,000 from the lack of wear on the gas and brake pedals this seems believable Speedometer and odometer work Cars in this good of condition are becoming hard to find Please note in the pictures, the car has not been waxed or cleaned since in covered storage. The seats have not been cleaned with vinyl shine nor the dash or chrome. So it will look better. Carpet has not been vacuumed in pictures.
These cars may continue to increase in
vale. Go to Haggerty s classic car insurance web site for a track of valuations. Set your own grade for the car. I would place it at least a strong 3 and closer to a grade 2 if it was cleaned up and listed defects repaired.
These are real classics, fun to drive with the top down and automatic transmission. They get lots of attention at cruises and car shows Thus car has newer wheels and tires, 24 inch style that list for over $ 1,000 per wheel and tire. I am a great believer in describing a car accurately . First the good. Amazing body and paint Someone put a lot of time and effort and money into the body Great newer 24 inch tires and wheels very expensive tires and wheels looking on the internet you may be looking at easily $ 4000 to $ 6000 in tires and wheels check out the prices yourself. If you want to replace these tires with the stock 15 inch original chrome wheels and tires with the proper hub bolt pattern and offset they are available here locally for about $ 350 per set Good presentable chrome some minor pitting but no rust on the bumpers Some tarnish and flaking on the plastic ? Chrome Good glass brakes work well engine and transmission seem strong and responsive Seats are in very good shape as is dash
top non split dashes are hard to find Runs well. A top mechanic , Fox Auto, inspect all my classic cars. They did a tune up, inspection, oil change, carburetor rebuild, new battery new belts etc so it runs very well. Newer (stainless ?) dual exhaust appears to be a newer top as the back plastic window is not sun damaged or scratched Bad, small delaminating crack in front very left lower corner less than 2 inches in the corner No radio I re keyed the ignition. Ignition needs replaced securely into the dash holder I have NOT checked the top motor, as you do not want to lower a convertible top when it is cold out Drivers door lower carpet panel gone Both door carpet sill chrome panels gone At least one of the expensive tires is mounted with the tread rotation in the wrong direction (tire shows necessary direction of rotation ) Drivers side mirror loose trim piece molding at the bottom rear of the rear bottom convertible top missing Trunk is locked. I have no idea what is
in the trunk (parts, money guns drugs ??) It has a bumper hitch ? Why would someone do that ? The dash red color is faded and will need to be re dyed There are about 5 very small holes drilled on the bottom right corner of the trunk on the vertical surface The license plate rear holder does have some minor rust / stains steering wheel has small splits cracks but is functional Haggerty valuation without the tires is averaging $ 12, 526 Many in this shape are listed in the $ 18,000 range Owners manual included Email me for lots more pictures some of the pictures are from inside my airplane hanger and do not show how it shines. I will take more when it stops raining. Reason for selling. I have about 14
collector cars and am running out of room. I bought this car in the
dead of winter for a gift for my wife. It is too big for her. I parked it in my plane hanger in January 2014 I have been collecting and selling classic cars for 45 years with no complaints . If when you see the car before pick up and shipping and you decide I did NOT describe it accurately you get a full refund . You can't get better then that. It is difficult to buy cars without inspecting them for most people so feel free to have any friend in the area to inspect it. I do help with shipping cars to Europe and over seas usually through Chicago. Note car is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells BUT I have never done this without notifying the top 5 bidders to see if they want to match the offer locally. Feel free to inspect the car. I will insure and store the car at no cost for up to 60 days after the sale at no cost to you. Note. Personally I would replace the tires and wheels with the standard stock custom wheels and raised letter tires which are available here in town from Zolman tire. Sell the 24 inch wheels. Of course I am 64 years old and a traditionalist. I think the radius of turn also increases with those huge tires up front. |

Junkyard Gem: Heavily personalized 1997 Buick Skylark Custom Sedan
Wed, Mar 27 2019Normally I wouldn't be much interested in a third-generation GM N-Body (a family that includes the Chevy Malibu and Olds Achieva) spotted in the junkyard, though a case could be made for such a vehicle's historical significance. This '97 Skylark, however, arrived in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard well-plastered with stickers, reflectors, and other personalizing touches, making it an interesting document of its time and place. It appears that both of the original white fenders got mashed and then replaced with blue ones, almost certainly obtained cheaply at a yard like this one. If you're not going to paint your new fenders to match the car, then you're already well down the slippery slope to making the car a giant mobile canvas to display your interests. A 20-year-old GM N-Body, regardless of how nice it was when new, isn't worth much, and you could stretch a line of these cars from Lansing to Lahore with all the used-up Ns sitting in American wrecking-yard inventory right now. Perhaps it was the grandchild of the car's original owner who indulged in White Widow cannabis and listened to Siouxsie & the Banshees. The odds against finding the original window sticker in a car like this are mighty long, but here it is. Sold new at Putnam Buick in Burlingame. It appears that this car spent most of its final decade in or near Mill Valley. Mill Valley is a mere 30 miles from Burlingame, or about three hours of Buick driving (you have to go past SFO, through San Francisco, and across the Golden Gate Bridge, a journey featuring apocalyptically terrible traffic at just about any time). Drive east across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and you'll get to this Skylark's final parking space, about 20 miles from Mill Valley. This car lived its whole life near the shores of San Francisco Bay, and it will die there. Feathers and a political-party charm adorn the headliner. This car's final owner had a practical side, as we can see from the many reflectors and lengths of safety tape. Just the thing for avoiding a T-bone wreck in the dead of night! "Essentially, Skylark embodies all of the features customers expect from a Buick, in a smaller package, with a very attractive MSRP."
Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?
Tue, 07 Aug 2012We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
