NO RESERVE!!! Up for sale this 1968 Buick LeSabre Custom 400 convertible. One of Detroit's best boulevard cruisers in my opinion. Only 5257 produced of which how many had the options this car did is anyone's guess. Originally sold by Jerry Smith Buick in St. Louis Missouri (still retains the original badge) this car led a pampered life and during the 80's was purchased as a Shriner parade car and I was told it was kept garaged for most of its life. I purchased it in Kansas from the estate of the second owner last year, threw some new tires on it and drove it back to CT with no issues. How the car was maintained over the years shows in the brightwork, chome and interior. Repainted 1x in original color it has a shiny glossy finish but definitely not a high end job but not a 20 footer either and still maintains it's original interior. Numbers matching original motor and transmission with just over 100K miles. The Super 400 Turbine Transmission was touted by many as one of the best GM ever produced shifts flawlessly without hesitation jerk or surging. Engine runs fantastic with no knocks rattles or shakes and drives down the highway just as nice. The exhaust is loud at the manifold and the exhaust manifold gasket was replaced 2x yet still persists. My mechanic stated its more than likely due to the way the Y pipe sleeves into the manifold but just so you are aware of though it does give the car a nice rumble. No fluid leaks and runs cool. Power brakes stop on a dime with no pulling or uneven stopping. Power steering you can steer with your pinky. Horn, lights and blinkers all working. Even the original AM radio works as does the lighter. Power top goes up and down flawlessly and no rips or tears in the top and glass convertible window is in good shape. All glass on car is original soft ray glass and manual crank windows with no hazing to the corners
Many receipts and original window sticker and warranty book with metal protect o plate. Has stock Buick mag rims including spare but missing one of the centers. Very shiny paint and only minor bubbling at the bottom of the right fender with some cracking along the trim/beltline where it appears there may have been some skim coating or a previous dent repair. There also is some paint flaked off on the drivers side front fender but floor pans, frame, rocker panels, cross members and trunk are rock solid and body is free of waves and ripples and as I said before it presents very nicely. Doors close solid with a nice thunk and no sag All body panel gaps are nice . All A/C components are in place including the fan belt on compressor but didn't test the a/c climate control system (hey it's a convertible) so assume it needs servicing or conversion. Heat works fine. Drive as is or take to the next level. In short a lovely car that will only appreciate in value We are only selling as we have several antique cars and simply not enough time or space to enjoy all of them. Local buyers are encouraged to stop by and check out the car and delivery is possible within a reasonable distance but only once paid in full. We are near all major transportation and right off the innerstate if you opt to ship the car. Please only serious bidders. We have bought and sold several cars over the years with 100 percent positive feedback but are not mechanics or car dealers. Once again we are selling with NO RESERVE to the highest bidder and the car is NOT for sale locally so wherever the auction ends it ends! Please email any questions. Thanks for stopping and good luck! |

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Buick Blackhawk concept headed to auction block again
Tue, Jan 27 2015While the collector car auction market is often criticized for inflating the price of vintage models out of the realm of affordability for many buyers, these sales do give us an opportunity to look back on some of the beautiful, rare designs of the past. Just take a glance at this Buick Blackhawk concept with a shape right out of the '40s or '50s. Despite the heritage styling, it was pieced together from older pieces for Buick to celebrate itself in the early 2000s With styling inspiration from the classic Buick Y-Job concept car, the Blackhawk mixes actual vintage components to create its curvaceous shape. However, the power retractable top is thoroughly modern being made from carbon fiber and stows in the deck lid when the roof needs to go down. After so much work on the outside, the Buick has something equally surprising under the hood. It's a 1970 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 GS Stage III V8 with a claimed 463 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, and for easy cruising the mill is linked to a four-speed automatic. Built in-house by Buick, the Blackhawk was once part of the General Motors Heritage Fleet, but the automaker sold it off in 2009 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, along with many other members of the collection. The concept went for $522,500 after the buyer's premium, according to the auctioneers. Now, it's crossing the block again with no reserve as part of RM Auctions sale of the Andrews Collection on May 2, 2015, in Fort Worth, TX. The 75-car auction also includes highlights like one of seven 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet models bodied by Pininfarina.
