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.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.

Buick teases the next-gen LaCrosse

Sat, Oct 31 2015

Buick continues to play coy about the next-generation LaCrosse, but the latest teaser hints at a swoopy profile for the upcoming sedan. While mostly just a silhouette, the teaser does provide a glimpse of the flowing roof and upward crease around the rear fenders – especially handsome touches. The rest of the LaCrosse remains a mystery. The only other part that we've seen is the Avenir-inspired grille, which features a more angular surround and chrome wings jutting from emblem in the center. Styling aside, the brand claims that the sedan is now more engaging behind the wheel thanks to a stronger, lighter chassis and five-link rear suspension. Powertrain rumors are rather vague but suggest the 3.6-liter V6 will be available when the model arrives at dealers in 2016. One thing we know for certain about the LaCrosse is that it debuts at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. That only leaves a few more weeks for Buick to keep this mystery going. Related Video:
