1960 Buick LeSabre 3 Seat Wagon 

Original paint in Artic white with Titan Red Poly roof

 This wagon was a barn find in dry Idaho about 5 years ago. It was found with 1974 Idaho License plates and a WSU parking sticker on the back glass. Seems it was used as the family wagon for 10 years, then it was used for a college car only to be parked when it was 14 years old. Much has been done to make this car a safe and reliable driver. I have owned it for 3 years and have decided to sell it to focus on prewar Buicks. The car is so straight and the stainless is very nice. The bumper show very wheel, great dash and steering wheel. This is a very rate car with only a few listed in the Buick Club. It was sold with the two tone paint, power steering, power brakes, automatic trans, radio, tinted windshield and auto headlight dimmer (that works!) The cars starts and drives great, gauges and radio work well. I thought it would make a neat period fire marshals car with the colors. This car drives and stops straight, I towed a matching finned 15 foot boat to a few car shows and it was a big hit. The nailhead engine pulls very strong and idles smooth.There was over $5k spent to make this solid car a great driver.

This car is from the dry desert part of Idaho and it shows. All the glass is good and weather strips are soft with no cracking. The only rust found after a inspection on the hoist was in the floor of the 3rd seat area and a small pin hole in the left quarter panel. No bondo or filler found on this car. When the car was removed form the barn rodents had made many nests inside. The head liner, seats and carpet were trashed. All were removed and thrown out. The floor was wire brushed and POR 15 painted, it is very solid. A different front seat from another Buick was put in and the rear lower seat has foam and towels on it. The car needs carpets, headliner and seats recovered.  The door panels are very serviceable. After that I wouldn't do anything to the body, as they are only original once. Oh it was found with a bullet hole in the right front door, easy fix but adds to the history so I left it. The only part that was found missing is the lower part of the 3rd seat. This car still has the original issued factory key with the coded tag still in place, in the selling dealers leather key fob. And the matching dealer frame from Howard Moose motors in Moscow ID.

I have sold several classic cars on e-bay from my collection and for friends, all buyers have been happy.

I have the car listed other places and reserve the right to end auction early. Road tests, inspections and phone calls are encouraged.  Steve Fisher 206-755-3420
