Beautiful 1968 Buick Le Sabre Convertible

Amazing condition for a 44 year old car !   A great deal of money has been spent on body,

paint and wheels.  Looks great up close.  I was told this car came from California.  From

the lack of rust and corrosion underneath I find this believable.(see undercarriage photos)

Insured with Haggerty collectors insurance  at a low cost of $ 160 a year for liability and

full car value.   I can store this car for you until May 1st inside . 

I am a great believer in describing a car accurately . I have been selling collector cars on Ebay

since 1999 with no complaints and want to keep my good reputation.  If on inspection prior to

pick up you find something major wrong I missed, you can cancel the sale immediately for a

full refund.  I encourage you to have the car inspected. I have a great honest independent auto

shop that is tuning the car up now for the new owner where you can pay to have your own

inspection while up on a lift.

First the good about the car .

 

Amazing body and paint work  looks very presentable close up I see

no paint blisters, bubbles, no signs of rust. 

Great new tires and wheels  very expensive tires and wheels

Good presentable chrome

Good glass (one defect)

Seats are in very good shape as is dash top

Runs well. I am getting a new battery and tune up right now for the

new owner

New exhaust

Tires are size 255/30zr24  NZ7000 ? No expert on these big tires

Bad,  small delaminating crack in front very left lower corner of the

front windshield

No radio

I have NOT checked the top motor, as you do not want to lower a

convertible top when it is cold out

Dash brake light is on but brakes work well

I just had the ignition out to get new keys made so ignition is not back

in dash just hanging by wires

Drivers door lower carpet panel gone

Both door carpet sill chrome panels gone

At least one of the expensive tires is mounted with the tread rotation

in the wrong direction  (tire shows necessary direction of rotation  )

trim body piece on the rear deck just behind the convertible top is missing.

I am not an expert on this model (I restore Model T and Model A Fords)

so I will continue to inspect this car and list any additional good and bad points

Haggerty valuation without the tires is averaging  $ 12, 526  Many in this

shape are listed in the $ 18,000 price range

snow is on the black carpet on the pictures 

I have forgotten to check the mileage, speedometer operation  and heater

fan wipers and will do so.  Mileage listed therefore is an estimate.

Email me for lots more pictures and questions   This I believe is a great

price for this car

Reason for selling. I have about 14 collector cars and am running out

of room.  I bought this car last week for a Valentine’s day present for

my wife but she says it is too big for her.  I and many others consider

QUALITY classic cars as both fun to own and drive for the attention

factor and descent investments  The 1960's era cars should continue

to appreciate for 10-15 years, as the prices seem to peak as the teenagers

during those years who now are older and have money want these

cars back or the car they never had.

Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.

Pre-owned bargain alert: Buick Regal

Wed, Feb 3 2016

For the past couple of years, Buick has been very aggressive in promoting short-term low-mileage leasing. The plan was to get people in the door to experience the new Buick. Once they realized Buicks are now sleek and full of Euro Chic, people might want to buy one. It's debatable if that plan worked, but one thing is for sure: There's a massive amount of low-mileage Buick Regals out there. The price of Regals is all over the map due to lease returns and dealers aggressively discounting 2015 models to get rid of them. But at the $17,500–20,000 range there are a good number of 2013 to 2015 Regals with under 15k miles for sale. The Regal might come with 2.0L Turbo or 2.4L Hybrid. The Hybrid is a bit slow; stick with the Turbo and drive with the traction control off. They all come moderately equipped with leather, heated seats, alloy wheels, and dual-zone climate control. If you have a little more cash to spend, go for the 2012/2013 Regal GS, which is based on the Opel Insignia OPC. The Regal GS comes with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft from a turbo engine and a HiPerStrut suspension to reduce torque steer. They all come standard with Brembo brakes, navigation, sunroof, and premium sound system, in automatic or manual. Just make sure you budget money in your savings to replace the front tires. Trust me on this. You can purchase a Camry or Accord with some equipment for under $20,000 with a bit more miles and years than the Regal. But ultimately the Regal feels more premium, drives better, and is less boring. Make the right choice and buy something unique.Related Video:

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.
