Ferndale, Michigan, United States

Good condition 1983 Buick Lesabre Limited. Clean title. 

Well maintained. What sets this car apart from the pack is what's under the hood... 

Upgrades: 

  • Chevy 350 Gen I engine (4-bolt main, forged pistons)
  • polyurethane motor mounts 
  • Turbo 350 lockup automatic transmission with shift kit. Firm shifts, ability to manually up and downshift. 
  •  2400rpm stall torque converter
  • Edelbrock Performer RPM heads
  • Edelbrock AIR Gap RPM manifold
  • Holly 650cfm carburetor
  • Performance camshaft .500 lift (brand unknown, installed by engine builder) - rough, performance idle
  • Full roller rocker arms, performance push rods
  • Mallory Unilite optical trigger vacuum advance distributor with MSD ignition
  • Hooker headers and custom dual exhaust.
  • Electric coolant fan from Mustang (app 2005-6)
  • Stock drive shaft re-balanced with Dana yoke, 3.23 ring and pinion.
  • More...
  • This car is a BEAST! Never dyno'd, but based on engine builders simulated dyno and the upgrades added, I suspect it's making between 350 and 420hp at the flywheel.
  • Other additions:
  • Cragar SS 15x8 wheels - small rust spots, but very presentable. Polish up beautifully!
  • Autometer gauges
  • Custom made Buick logo floor mats
  • Grant steering wheel
  • Custom built dual exhaust
  • Probably other stuff I can't remember..
I also have many, MANY replacement/backup parts for car.


-There is a small leak around the top of the windshield.  Should be addressed as it will let drip during heavy rain.
-Front bumper has 2 rust holes. Can be covered up but replacement would be best.

-Radio doesn't work.  Shorted when trying to put back in car.  Perhaps someone with some knowledge could fix it (it will light up), but assume it is broken.

-Rusty spots in typical spots for this car at bottom of doors and areas underneath sill plates.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

Question of the Day: Coolest factory-supercharged car?

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Last week, we discussed possible engine-swap recipients for the plentiful-in-every-junkyard Eaton-supercharged GM 3800 V6 engine. The Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs that came with that engine from the factory were reasonably cool, of course, but when you look at all the production cars that have been available with supercharging over the decades you can find some pretty amazing stuff. My personal favorite has to be the Paxton-blown Studebaker Larks of the early 1960s, partly because the Lark was just about the stodgiest-looking, sleepiest little sedan available in America, possibly the most ridiculous recipient of a howling force-fed V8 imaginable, and partly because of the name of the optional supercharged 289-cubic-inch V8 you could get in the Lark: Jet-Thrust! What do you say is the coolest factory-supercharged car of all time? Related Video: Auto News Buick Automotive History Performance Classics supercharger questions

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
