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. |

2018 Buick LaCrosse gets a mild hybrid model, lower price
Mon, Jun 5 2017Update: Buick provided us with horsepower and fuel economy figures. The text has been updated to reflect this. Buick is rolling out a variety of updates for the 2018 LaCrosse, including a new mild eAssist hybrid. Like the previous generation LaCrosse and Regal eAssist models, this one features a small electric motor and an equally small battery pack that together augment rather than supplant the gasoline engine. The motor, attached to a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, helps to make takeoffs smoother and provide additional torque on demand. The gasoline engine still does the majority of the work, though. Combined, the powertrain produces 194 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. It will also allow the LaCrosse to get 25 mpg in the city, and 35 mpg on the highway. While the electric powertrain doesn't provide primary propulsion, it does come with other benefits. The small battery means the LaCrosse maintains a folding rear seat. The battery also provides power to accessories when the engine shuts off at a standstill. This mild hybrid powertrain will be the standard engine for all 2018 LaCrosses, and they come with a lower base price. The 2018 model will start at $31,415, which is about $1,500 less than the lowest priced 2017 V6 LaCrosse. The V6 will still be available as an option, and Buick has updated it, too. The 2018 V6 models will also all come with a new 9-speed automatic transmission. The new LaCrosses will go on sale this fall. Related Video: Image Credit: Buick Green Buick Hybrid Luxury Sedan
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General 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.

MotorWeek remembers the nearly forgotten Buick Reatta
Thu, Feb 18 2016The Reatta was Buick's failed experiment to take on European competitors with its own two-seat luxury coupe and convertible. The model only lasted a few years, and US customers didn't see another droptop from the brand until the Cascada. The latest MotorWeek Retro Review takes a look back at the short-lived roadster and remembers it quite fondly. Host John Davis calls the 1990 Reatta droptop "one of the best looking convertibles ever." His sentiment seems a little hyperbolic, but the roadster is definitely an attractive machine by the standards of the time. The smooth front end and pop-up headlights are reminiscent of Japanese sports cars of era, and the profile with the top down is elegant. There are weaknesses, though. The manual roof mechanism appears cumbersome to operate, and the crude digital instruments, which simulate physical dials, make the cabin look too dated. Other than a complaint about over-boosted power steering, MotorWeek enjoys how the Reatta drives, too. Buick's roadster is largely forgotten today, but such glowing praise suggests it deserves to be better remembered. Check out this Retro Review to look back on this interesting experiment from the early '90s. Related Video:
