1962 Buick LeSabre Sanded to Bare Metal then Clear Coated 401 NailHead Motor (The Wildcat 410, designated as such for the 410 ft. lb. of Torque from the factory) Fresh Tune-Up with new Plugs, Wires, Cap, adjusted Timing and installed electronic timing, new hoses and belts, new filter. Power Steering Good Brakes, but this car did NOT come originally with power brakes. Go figure. You just push a little harder than modern cars. Excellent Tires Speed Buzzer that works! (I have it set on 100mph, and it works) Heater works Great (no a/c, wasn't an option) Nice Interior with New Dash This classic runs and drives great ALL DAY!!! Would make a very cool daily driver Lots of Attention You will be the 4th owner Clear New Mexico Title in Hand This car started it's life as a special order for a police department in Arizona. It was to compete against a Chevy and a Ford to determine a new squad car. It performed well in trials, but the Wildcat couldn't escape it's poor gas mileage. It was auctioned off, and a nice lady bought it and drove it for a long time, and eventually parked it under some trees on her land. Soon after, her next door neighbor rang the door bell and asked if he could buy it. You see, he had just received news that he had cancer. His doctor felt it would be good for his immune system if he were to find something that really needed cleaning, and then scrub it clean. The doctor wanted him to imagine his immune system cleaning the cancer away. He immediately thought of this old car with sap being dripped on it, and he made his offer. He went straight to work, and he scrubbed and he scrubbed, and eventually the cancer went away. Well, I don't know, but I bought the car from him, and I just couldn't shake his story. He seemed very sincere. I had spent a little time with him, and he was a normal, genuine man in his late 60's. I hated the idea of just painting over this car, but it needed something. I wanted something special for a special car. I felt that stripping this car down to the bare metal would pay homage to this unique classic, and pay homage to it's previous owners. Think about it. This is as original as it gets. This is as survivor as it gets. There is nothing hidden, nothing painted over. So I went to work taking this car down to it's bare metal. I created the exact look I wanted as I went. It has a nice pattern of swirls that only show in different lights. It looks incredible. It looks so much better in person. I can honestly say that. It took weeks, but somehow in all that hard work, I felt a sort of spiritual cleaning. The car seemed to draw me closer to God in some strange way. It was like God was sanding down the enamels in my life that were hiding problems. Maybe all that's a bunch of hog wash, but then again, maybe its not. I don't think this car healed that man, and I know it didn't heal me. But, it has given me reason to think that there is something very special about it. Something better. Something bigger. I haven't had this much fun driving a car in a very long time. It looks so good, and it drives so good. It is a solid car. It is quicker than most cars on the road, and I LIKE THAT! This car draws a lot of looks and a lot of attention. Be ready to show it at the gas station or wherever you take it. People just are drawn to it. They like it. The bare metal wows everybody. The comment that sticks out the most is, "THAT'S SICK MAN!" It is sick man. I'm kinda connected with this car now. Feel free to ask questions or whatever. You can even call me. (505) 259-1119 I can FaceTime or Skype you and show you the car. I'd be happy to do a walk around and start it up and burn YOUR rear tires off if you want. Whatever, I'm a car guy, and I like to talk about my cars. This is an old car. It is not fully restored. It has quirks, but they're not annoying quirks. It has a small leak. It has dents and rust spots. There's some sand marks on a few windows. They are very obvious in the pictures. It starts immediately, always has. Warms up immediately. Smokes the back tires. What more do you want? This is an underpriced, no reserve auction for a classic car. There are no warranties or returns. Ask you questions now. Talk to your boss now before you bid. |

Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Inside Line reports Buick is planning to bring back some of the more storied names from the company's past, including the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type. Those cars rose to prominence in the 1970s and '80s to become performance legends of their day.
The new models will reportedly make use of the rear-wheel drive platform that currently underpins the Cadillac ATS and all would arrive as sedans - according to an unnamed source familiar with the initiative. Odds are the T-Type and the Grand National would share a driveline, with honest money being on a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 as the engine of choice. Word has it the mill will be good for anywhere from 350 to 400 horsepower.
That leaves only the GNX. Inside Line seems to think that machine could get down the road with some help from the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8. The engineers behind the ATS platform have already told us the engine bay is large enough for to accommodate the big eight pot, and since GM is most certainly working on an ATS-V, a slightly less powerful, less luxurious Buick iteration makes some kind of sense. We can't wait to see these things in the light of day.
NFL QB Cam Newton and supermodel Miranda Kerr star in Buick's Super Bowl ad
Wed, Feb 1 2017Buick's Super Bowl LI ad is another demonstration that its cars aren't frumpy anymore. The ad opens with parents watching their children play football, with one of the dads, we'll call him "Dad No. 1," shouting encouraging words to his son. In the background, a bright red Buick Cascada pulls up, and another dad, "Dad No. 2," points it out. Dad 1 doesn't believe him, and says, "If that's a Buick, then my kid's Cam Newton." All of sudden, his son transmogrifies into Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. As expected, he quickly dominates the game, with some amusing results. At the end, when a Buick Encore shows up, the referee inadvertently turns himself into supermodel Miranda Kerr, based on apparent disbelief over what constitutes a Buick. You can see all of the shenanigans in the video above. Plus, if you'd like to see what goes into making a Super Bowl commercial, Buick produced a short video with Newton and Kerr showing what happens behind the scenes. You can check it out below.

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
