Up for auction a Buick Lesabre Convertible 455ci "Survivor". Last year of the convertible ! Only about 5300 were made. (even less with a 455ci.engine)  I purchased it in 2012 from an estate where it had been sitting untouched since 1984 in a metal building on the property. It was like opening a time capsule with even the original Firestone 721 Radial spare in the trunk unused! The 31,131 miles are documented, as  the previous owner kept all the paperwork (included with sale). The vehicle was sold new in Georgia in early 1975 and then found its way to a Buick dealer in Warsaw NY where the previous owner purchased it in March of 1976. The car had 14,000 miles on it at the time. The original window sticker is also included. The interior and top are original. It has the rare "Parade Boot" option. The paint appears to have some touch-up work on it but there was no major repaint.

The following work was done: All fluids were flushed and replaced, all hoses and belts replaced, new brake master cylinder and booster, new  Delco spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, air conditioning converted to R134A and blows ice cold, undercarriage which was originally undercoated in 1975 was redone by Ziebart (if you are familiar with their work the car was done twice since they missed some spots the first time!), new Cooper Trendsetter 235.75R.15 tires, interior  was dismantled and the seats, foam, coverings and the rest of the car interior were professionally disinfected, ozoned and deodorized due to some critter visits during the long storage, carpets and underlayment are new, mechanical digital clock restored and works, Factory AM/FM 8 Track Stereo works, it is registered and passes New York State Inspection. And for the Buick Purests in the crowd, the engine is the correct color from doing research and examination of the engine parts. It is not a Pontiac color and is not suppose to be Buick red. The color is a 2 year color called Strato Blue Metallic which Buick used to identify their engines. It is available only from OEM Industries and the remaining unused 2 cans will be included. The air cleaner sticker is also correct and there are no other stickers to be installed on it.

The body has gloss to it and was polished as well as the chrome. The body has 38 years of chips, dings, and scratches and the chrome has some sun bleaching. It is not perfect! All body panels, frame, floors and trunk are solid and have no rust issues. The trim is in very good shape. Nothing is missing from the car. It is truly a survivor! You can drive it home safely and with confidence.

Please message me through eBay if you have any questions or need additional information. The reserve price is reasonable, realistic and inline (not outrageous) with NADA book value for a car of its year, condition and category. A $700.00 deposit is due within 24 hours after the auction through PayPal. The balance to be paid by cash or Wire Transfer from a U.S. Bank. The vehicle will not be released until funds are verified. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility but I will assist in any way I can. Zero feedback bidders need to contact me first or their bid will be removed.

Thanks and Happy Bidding!

2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.

News anchor swaps his Roadmaster for a custom Buick Enclave Woody

Wed, Jul 10 2019

Dennis House, self-proclaimed car buff and Connecticut news anchor, thinks that with the impending launch of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, woodies will make their grand return to the car scene in modern fashion. House wanted to get ahead of the potential trend and decided to create a one-of-one woody wrap for his Buick Enclave. On the rear quarter panel of the custom SUV, an aftermarket badge reads "Enclave Estate Wagon." It's a direct call back to one of the vehicles that has inspired House's love of wood-paneled family haulers, the Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. House owns two Roadmasters, a black 1996 model and a 1995 woody. In making room for the Enclave, House has decided to sell the '96, which looks spotless and only has a bit more than 71,000 miles on the clock. According to GM Authority, who spotted House's Enclave, the look was achieved with a vinyl wrap. After exploring the idea of a first-gen Enclave woody or a Regal TourX woody, House decided the application worked best on a current Enclave. The mock-ups were done on the computer, and Scranton Cadillac Buick GMC completed the work. The wrap starts just beneath the headlights and wraps around the entire vehicle. Furthering the theme, House took a photo of the woody with a surfboard. For now, the woody look is not a factory option, but House hopes General Motors takes notice and considers offering the choice on future models. If not, just take your ride to Scranton Motors, and they could probably help you out.            View this post on Instagram                   What a cool new 2019 Buick Enclave for CT’s own Dennis House!

Buick Envision arrives in US next year

Fri, Jul 24 2015

In a detailed piece on what General Motors has planned for the Buick brand stateside, Automotive News reports that the Envision will finally come to the US a little more than a year from now, in the latter half of 2016. The size gap between the small Encore and the large Enclave is a perfect fit for the Chevrolet Equinox-sized Envision. Assuming this actually happens, it should excite both customers and Buick dealers. In China, the Envision uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed transmission. Before then, dealers sales forces will be preparing for the Cascada convertible, expected in Q1 next year. Later in 2016, around the same time as the Envision gets here, we can expect a redesigned Verano sedan. AN says it "should grow in length and interior roominess, similar to the Chevy Cruze," but the Verano already roughly matches or exceeds many Cruze dimensions. The Chinese-market Verano that premiered at the Shanghai Motor Show earlier this year probably holds some clues to what we'll see, but our version might not be an exact copy. A redesigned, lighter, and slightly larger LaCrosse will be right there with it. In 2017 the redesigned Regal appears. Following the trend, it also gets larger, but that's required because it needs to be more distinct from that larger Verano. AN suggests a new base engine will go in the Regal, perhaps something as small as the 1.5-liter turbo being lined up for the 2016 Chevy Malibu. At the other end, executives are said to be considering importing the diesel Opel Insignia wagon for the Regal lineup. If they bring the manual over, auto scribes will probably take the day off when the first one arrives, and make it an industry holiday.
