Up for auction is a 1975 Buick LeSabre Custom Convertible in Glacier Blue with a white convertible top and white vinyl interior. This car is an excellent running and driving project. It has been in inside storage since 1991 and although it was inside the entire time it was subject to some condensation and the vehicle has surface rust and rust through in certain areas. I initially was only going to try to start the engine and then I realized that this car is extremely sound mechanically and I decided to do more work. The engine runs beautifully and I have performed the following service items since it has been removed from storage:
Rebuilt 4 barrel carburetor
New Brake Master Cylinder and bled all brakes (The brakes operate great including the power assist)
Changed Oil
All fluids topped off and clean
Rebuilt alternator
Rebuilt power top motor and relay (The white power convertible top works perfectly. It does have several small cuts and blemishes on the top (Highlighted in picture)
Lubricated all four power windows which all work well and the power door locks work perfectly
Air Conditioning Compressor starts and stops but the air does not blow cold. The fan and all defrost and heat doors work perfectly
Driver's Side Power Seat works great
8 track AM/FM radio works great.
Windshield wipers and washer works great.
Remote trunk lock release works perfectly. (The trunk lock key does not work)
The vehicle needs restored. There is rust through in the following areas: Driver's side floor pan has a hole where the driver's foot would rest, small area under the battery tray (new battery tray included), lower front fenders, rear wheel well openings, lower quarter panel areas, and a very small hole in the trunk. The remainder of the underside of the vehicle has surface rust but is in otherwise OK condition but certainly not perfect. The trunk as the original jack and equipment and original trunk mat. The rear bumper has damage from a minor fender bender and has rust through and will need replaced. The rear bumper is pushed in slightly on the passenger side. The rear bumper filler has cracked in numerous places will need to be replaced. I am missing the passenger front wheel well trim moulding and the body side mouldings on the passenger side. I am also missing the front hood ornament and rear truck lock ornament. The white vinyl seats are in good general condition but there is a crack on the driver's seat. The dash is in excellent condition except for one very small area. I am missing the clock that is located in the dash. The carpet is in tact but will need to be replaced. The car has been repainted in its original color choice but there is some overspray on the underneath of the car.
This is a very highly optioned 1975 Buick. Those options include but are not limited to A/C, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Cruise Control, Power Driver's Seat, Cornering Lamps and 8 track AM/FM Radio. The mileage is unknown and the free and clear PA title in my name shows "mileage exempt". I do have a 1989 oil change sticker with 33,120 miles on it and it went into storage in 1991. However, I have no docmentation from 1975 to 1989. The VIN number matches the title exactly.
I have included very detailed pictures including underside photos. After looking at all of the photos and reviewing the description feel free to ask any questions on the car. This is a used car and is being sold in AS-IS condition with no actual or implied warranty. I welcome the opportunity to show the car personally. A $500.00 deposit is due by Paypal within 48 hours of the auction end and full payment is due in 7 days. The buyer is responsible for arranging shipping of their choice however I will assist the shipper with any loading. The key to this car is that it is an excellent running and driving car with all major components working well while it is still a project. Thanks for looking and good luck!!

2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China
Wed, 27 Aug 2014The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
