1968 Buick Lesabre Custom Convertible 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Westport, Connecticut, United States
|
NO RESERVE!!! Up for sale this 1968 Buick LeSabre Custom 400 convertible. One of Detroit's best boulevard cruisers in my opinion. Only 5257 produced of which how many had the options this car did is anyone's guess. Originally sold by Jerry Smith Buick in St. Louis Missouri (still retains the original badge) this car led a pampered life and during the 80's was purchased as a Shriner parade car and I was told it was kept garaged for most of its life. I purchased it in Kansas from the estate of the second owner last year, threw some new tires on it and drove it back to CT with no issues. How the car was maintained over the years shows in the brightwork, chome and interior. Repainted 1x in original color it has a shiny glossy finish but definitely not a high end job but not a 20 footer either and still maintains it's original interior. Numbers matching original motor and transmission with just over 100K miles. The Super 400 Turbine Transmission was touted by many as one of the best GM ever produced shifts flawlessly without hesitation jerk or surging. Engine runs fantastic with no knocks rattles or shakes and drives down the highway just as nice. The exhaust is loud at the manifold and the exhaust manifold gasket was replaced 2x yet still persists. My mechanic stated its more than likely due to the way the Y pipe sleeves into the manifold but just so you are aware of though it does give the car a nice rumble. No fluid leaks and runs cool. Power brakes stop on a dime with no pulling or uneven stopping. Power steering you can steer with your pinky. Horn, lights and blinkers all working. Even the original AM radio works as does the lighter. Power top goes up and down flawlessly and no rips or tears in the top and glass convertible window is in good shape. All glass on car is original soft ray glass and manual crank windows with no hazing to the corners
Many receipts and original window sticker and warranty book with metal protect o plate. Has stock Buick mag rims including spare but missing one of the centers. Very shiny paint and only minor bubbling at the bottom of the right fender with some cracking along the trim/beltline where it appears there may have been some skim coating or a previous dent repair. There also is some paint flaked off on the drivers side front fender but floor pans, frame, rocker panels, cross members and trunk are rock solid and body is free of waves and ripples and as I said before it presents very nicely. Doors close solid with a nice thunk and no sag All body panel gaps are nice . All A/C components are in place including the fan belt on compressor but didn't test the a/c climate control system (hey it's a convertible) so assume it needs servicing or conversion. Heat works fine. Drive as is or take to the next level. In short a lovely car that will only appreciate in value We are only selling as we have several antique cars and simply not enough time or space to enjoy all of them. Local buyers are encouraged to stop by and check out the car and delivery is possible within a reasonable distance but only once paid in full. We are near all major transportation and right off the innerstate if you opt to ship the car. Please only serious bidders. We have bought and sold several cars over the years with 100 percent positive feedback but are not mechanics or car dealers. Once again we are selling with NO RESERVE to the highest bidder and the car is NOT for sale locally so wherever the auction ends it ends! Please email any questions. Thanks for stopping and good luck! |

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards
Thu, Jan 15 2015The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX
Wed, Dec 3 2014Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX – and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.
Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach
Wed, Sep 30 2015Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.
