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. |

2019 Volvo V60 vs. wagon competitors: How they compare on paper
Thu, Feb 22 2018The next-gen Volvo V60 was finally revealed this week. The outgoing model has been on sale since 2011, getting a few minor updates along the way. The new model is based off Volvo's Scalable Platform Architecture that underpins other models like the XC90 and XC60 crossovers and V90 wagon. The V60 will launch with two engines, with a powerful hybrid coming sometime down the line. Since the last V60 hit the market, Audi, Buick and BMW have all released their own flavor of wagon. Like Volvo, BMW sells a traditional sedan-based model. Audi and Buick's wagons are both high-riding models with some very slight off-road pretense, much like Volvo's Cross Country models. We don't have details on the upcoming V60 Cross Country, but, even when accounting for ground clearance, the V60, BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon, A4 Allroad and Buick Regal TourX have a lot of overlap. Check out the specs breakdown below. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines, transmissions and drivetrains Out of the four wagons, the new V60 is the only one that offers two-wheel drive and a hybrid variant. The base V60 T5 uses a 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four and sends power to the front wheels. Stepping up to the V60 T6 nets buyers an additional 66 horsepower thanks to a twincharged — supercharged and turbocharged — 2.0-liter and all-wheel drive. A T8 model that uses a 390-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain will be available soon. All V60s use an eight-speed automatic. The Audi, BMW and Buick are all powered by 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-fours. Additionally, the 3 Series has a 2.0-liter turbo diesel. All three wagons have standard all-wheel drive. The BMW and Buick use an eight-speed automatic, while the Audi sends power through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. As base engines go, there's a four-horsepower difference between the most and least powerful models, though the Buick wins out on torque. The V60 T6 matches the Regal TourX's torque figure and trounces every competitor's horsepower rating. The V60 T8 packs more power and torque than any of the competition. Cargo and interior space The outgoing V60 was on the small side for a wagon. This new model rectifies that a bit, though its 48.2 cubic-feet of cargo space with the second-row folded is still substantially smaller than the competition.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
2019 Buick Regal to get Avenir luxury treatment
Wed, Aug 1 2018Buick will make the 2019 Regal sedan available in its top-tier Avenir trim, the fourth Buick model to carry the sub-brand name after the Enclave, LaCrosse and the GL8 in China. Buick says the Avenir line is selling faster than other trim levels on both the Enclave and the LaCrosse, and that half of all Regal Sportback buyers are opting for the top trim level, reflecting buyers' demand for more premium midsize cars. "Avenir sales have exceeded our expectations," Phil Brook, vice president of Buick and GMC Marketing, said in a statement. "Buick customers value the exclusive styling, premium features and convenient experience Avenir provides, and we are excited to extend that successful formula to Regal." So what's the Regal Avenir all about? Well, Buick will debut its first cloud-connected infotainment system, bringing embedded apps and enabling owners to set up their own profiles and user preferences for use in things like available navigation and voice-recognition, and carry over that profile to other compatible vehicles. The Avenir will come standard with safety and driver-assist technologies such as rear park assist, rear cross traffic alert, lane-change alert with side blind zone alert, LED headlights with auto leveling, cornering lamps and driver-side auto-dimming mirrors. Advanced adaptive cruise control and other active safety technologies are also available. Inside, there's a "Whisper Beige" theme with ebony accents, diamond quilt-stitched front seats, embroidered first-row headrests and sill plates carrying the Avenir script. An ebony theme is also available. The exterior gets a more dramatic look, with the Avenir 3-D mesh upper grille, script badging on the front doors and 19-inch Pearl Nickel wheels. Under the hood is the Regal's standard 250-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 260 pound-feet of torque and mated to a nine-speed automatic. Avenir was the name of a four-door concept Buick unveiled as a surprise in 2015 in Detroit. The next year the company announced it would use the name as a top-tier trim level starting with 2018 Buicks. Pricing for the 2019 Buick Regal Avenir will be announced when it arrives at dealers.
