Up for auction a Buick Lesabre Convertible 455ci "Survivor". Last year of the convertible ! Only about 5300 were made. (even less with a 455ci.engine)  I purchased it in 2012 from an estate where it had been sitting untouched since 1984 in a metal building on the property. It was like opening a time capsule with even the original Firestone 721 Radial spare in the trunk unused! The 31,275 miles are documented, as  the previous owner kept all the paperwork (included with sale). The vehicle was sold new in Georgia in early 1975 and then found its way to a Buick dealer in Warsaw NY where the previous owner purchased it in March of 1976. The car had 14,000 miles on it at the time. The original window sticker is also included. The interior is original. It has the rare "Parade Boot" option. The paint appears to have some touch-up work on it but there was no major repaint.

The following work was done: All fluids were flushed and replaced, all hoses and belts replaced. Mew Water Pump. New brake master cylinder and booster, new  Delco spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Air conditioning converted to R134A and blows ice cold, undercarriage which was originally undercoated in 1975 was redone by Ziebart (if you are familiar with their work the car was done twice since they missed some spots the first time!), new Cooper Trendsetter 235.75R.15 tires. Interior  was dismantled and the seats, foam, coverings and the rest of the car interior were professionally disinfected, ozoned and deodorized due to some critter visits during the long storage. Carpets and underlayment are new.  Factory AM/FM 8 Track Stereo works. It has a new convertible top and glass rear window.  It is registered and passes New York State Inspection.

And for the Buick Purests in the crowd, the engine is the correct color from doing research and examination of the engine parts. It is not a Pontiac color and is not suppose to be Buick red. The color is a 2 year color called Strato Blue Metallic which Buick used to identify their engines. It is available only from OEM Industries and the remaining unused can will be included. The air cleaner sticker is also correct and there are no other stickers to be installed on it.

The body has gloss to it and was polished as well as the chrome. The body has 38 years of chips, dings, and scratches and the chrome has some sun bleaching. It is not perfect! All body panels, frame, floors and trunk are solid and have no rust issues. The trim is in very good shape. The factory wheels have a little rust on them but do polish. Nothing is missing from the car. It is truly a survivor! You can drive it home safely and with confidence.

Please message me through eBay if you have any questions or need additional information. The reserve price is reasonable, realistic and inline (not outrageous) with NADA book value for a car of its year, condition and category. A $700.00 deposit is due within 24 hours after the auction through PayPal. The balance to be paid by cash or Wire Transfer from a U.S. Bank. The vehicle will not be released until funds are verified. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility but I will assist in any way I can. Zero feedback bidders need to contact me first or their bid will be removed.

Thanks and Happy Bidding!

Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.

2019 Buick Envision First Drive Review | Still not a standout

Thu, Mar 15 2018

ATLANTA – "We're in the fashion business," executive chief engineer Rick Spina told us as he introduced the 2019 Buick Envision. "Except with a lot of technology." Spina was referring to the changing whims of new-car buyers, which have prompted Buick to give the compact Envision crossover its mid-generational update early — just 18 months into its lifecycle — and drop its prices across all trim levels. As with much of our consumer goods, the Envision is made in China. That doesn't seem to have hurt it in the market, even though it wears the badge of one of the most quintessentially American brands out there. It even aced the IIHS crash tests, putting it in league with Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. There's good news and bad news about how the Envision is doing. It's now the third-best-selling model in the Buick portfolio, behind the three-row Enclave in second place and the surprise hit Encore subcompact crossover in first. Sam Russell, Buick's director of marketing, reported 73 percent growth in the past nine months versus the first half of its market life. A full 60 percent of Envision buyers are new to the GM family, too, and Russell says that nearly half of those are likely to buy another Buick SUV when the time comes to trade in the Envision. And yet, the Envision trails in luxury compact-crossover sales, behind mainstays such as the Audi Q5 and Acura RDX, even amid crossover demand in the U.S. that has companies like Nissan posting record sales numbers and Ford canceling a redesign of the Fusion. Our test of the 2017 Envision found it competent, but lacking that "X factor" that would send buyers of German and Japanese marques flocking. Instead, we compared it to the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and deemed those both better values. Perhaps Buick feels the same, because the base 2019 Envision now starts at $32,990, a $2,000 cut from last year. The Preferred trim level sees a greater drop of $2,400, to $34,495. Rounding out the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter grades, the Essence's price falls $1,900 to $36,795. The turbocharged 2.0-liter Premium and Premium II trims get a discount of $1,600 and $1,400, respectively. With those prices come changes that Buick hopes will make the Envision a more compelling prospect. Outwardly, the Envision sports a new grille, a winged affair to replace the 2018's waterfall and bring it in line with the rest of Buick's lineup.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
