BICENTENNIAL YEAR CLASSIC CAR

1976 BUICK LESABRE 4 DOOR CUSTOM

Most everyone that loves old cars has that fantasy of finding that nice lady or gentleman that has that wonderful older classic car hidden away in the garage or storage & you are able to locate the gem & bring it out into the light of day & find that it has been so well taken care of that almost everything is still working & after some minor maintenance, it starts, runs drives, & stops very nice. I do believe we have found a 38 year old Auto in that realm. This is a wonderful classic from the days when cars were Big with Big Motors & would cruise down the highway like you were sitting in your living room. This Buick LeSabre is in unbelievable shape for a Garage Find. Someone really took care of this car. From the paperwork in the car, it looks to have been driven around 1600 miles in the last 22 years. The last service date & mileage is on the Amoco Service Station slip in the holder on the dashboard. As we try each option on this car it is unbelievable that everything still works. I might have missed something but everything we could find worked. Things like Cold Air, Am/Fm Stereo Radio w/Power Antenna, Cruise Control Light, Power Windows, turn signals, Hi/Lo Heaqd Light Beams, Rear Window Defroster, Windshield Wipers w/Mist Button, Power Seat, Adjustable Speed Warning Buzzer, Power Trunk Release, & believe it or not, the silly CLOCK STILL WORKS! It was getting downright crazy trying to find something that did not work on this car, finally after checking everything we could think of, including all the lights, one of our neighbors called out when we were backing the car out of the driveway & informed us that one of the back up lights was out. Whew! Finally something that was not working.

Car condition w/#1 being perfect Show Car, & #6 being good just for parts car, This car would be a solid 3. Interior would be a 2, paint is a 4, engine & drive train is a solid 3. Drives like a number 2 car. Should be pretty easy to get to local car show condition & is already a Wonderful Daily Driver.

I don't want anyone to think this LeSabre is a perfect show car, because it is not, there are parking dings, some small paint chips, & the paint is old but still looks good, could at least use a good buff & wax to bring it out. The right front fender has a scratch about the size of a basketball on it. Should be a easy fix for any local body shop. The chrome & trim work is very good for this age car, maybe some polish on the bright work would really make it POP! The paint is good but tired. We just washed the car & did not wax or buff the car to get more accurate condition pictures. If the car was buffed & waxed with a few touch ups, it should look absolutely great. We could have done more but we wanted to be able to offer the car at an affordable value & also let the new owner have a few things to do to get the best look out of the car. Anyone would have a real hard time finding a 1976 model car with these features that still work & in this kind of condition. The mileage on the odometer reads 34,608, & was stated to us as being original, which might be hard to believe until you see the condition of the interior & drive this car. Then it is not that hard to believe at all. Of Course, we cannot Guarantee the mileage, but believe most anyone will be comfortable with it when they see the condition & drive this car. Our family bought a new 1971 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser back when I was a teenager, this wonderful Buick drives just like that big Olds! Some folks might rather have the 455 motor, but we really like the 350 4 barrel motor this one has. It has all the power you will ever need & gets much better gas mileage.

The recent items repaired or replaced on this newly uncovered classic include new 4 Barrel Carb-$300, pulled,cleaned radiator-$175, new plugs, plug wires, Dist. Cap, & Rotor-$75, new oil & transmission fluid replaced incl/new filters-$100, new tires-$400, & new rear brakes-$100, & Front Brakes checked out in great shape. Turn the key, fires right up & go cruising Tonight! I could keep writing about this car on & on, but I have tried to describe it as it is. We keep shaking our heads & smiling to be able to find a car like this so many years after it was made, in this kind of condition. The car is an honest & straight 38 year old car from America's Bicentennial Year & very easy on the eyes & pocketbook. WOW, what a car.

This LeSabre is being sold AS IS other than the things we have listed about the car. The car is offered with very LOW RESERVE & quite affordable BUY IT NOW PRICE!

WE HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD EXPAND ON THE ANSWERS A BIT. ONE WAS ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR & ALTHOUGH WE CANNOT GUARANTEE IT TO BE ORIGINAL MILEAGE, THE TITLE STATES THE MILEAGE AS ACTUAL. I BELIEVE IT IS ACTUAL FOR 2 MAIN REASONS, ONE BEING THE INTERIOR IS REALLY REMARKABLE EVEN INCLUDING THE LEATHER SEATS, CARPET & ORIGINAL HEADLINER, 2ND IS THE WAY THIS CAR DRIVES IS TIGHT, STRAIGHT & SO SMOOTH, BUT REMEMBER I AM THE ONE SELLING THE CAR!

I DID LIST THE MILEAGE WRONG WHEN I LISTED IT AT 34,608. IT IS 34,808. THE 8 LOOKED LIKE A 6 WHEN I LOOKED THE 1ST TIME. THAT IS ONLY 200 MILE MISTAKE BUT WANTED TO MAKE IT CORRECT.

THE OTHER QUESTION CONCERNED PAINT & ANY PREVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH ANSWERRING THAT SO I HAD A MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE CAR PERSON LOOK IT OVER TODAY & THEY SAID & ALSO SHOWED ME WHERE THE CAR HAD AT LEAST ONE REPAINT IN IT'S 38 YEARS (SAME FACTORY COLOR) BUT SAW NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE. THERE IS THE MENTIONED SCRATCH ON THE FRONT RIGHT FENDER ALTHOUGH WE HAVE HAD THAT CLEANED UP A BIT SO IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN IT DID IN THE PHOTOS. I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT. HE ALSO SAID & SHOWED ME THERE WAS USUAL OR NORMAL SURFACE RUST UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHICH SHOULD BE EXPECTED WITH THIS AGE CAR. WHILE HE WAS UNDER THE CAR HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION PAN LOOKED CLEAN BUT THE OIL PAN HAD SOME OLD GRIME UNDER ABOUT 1/2 OF IT, SAYING ONCE AGAIN VERY NORMAL FOR THE AGE OF THE CAR.

ONCE AGAIN NOT A NEW OR MINT AUTO, BUT VERY NICE FOR THE AGE & READY TO CRUISE 2 LANE OR INTERSTATE. ANY MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL US THRU EBAY & WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANYTHING WE CAN.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.

Avista concept shows Buick's performance potential [w/video]

Mon, Jan 11 2016

With names like Wildcat and Riviera in its past, Buick knows how to make a good-looking performance machine. It's just been awhile. But the Avista concept revealed Sunday night ahead of the Detroit Auto Show suggests Buick's sporting heritage might be more than relegated to grainy photos. The Avista is a 2+2 sports coupe running a twin-turbocharged V6 cranking out 400 horsepower through the rear wheels. Look familiar? It should, as it reprises many of the design cues from Buick's last show-stealer, the Avenir, which debuted a year ago in Detroit. "The Avista embodies the dynamic soul of Buick," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of global Buick sales, service, and marketing. "It is a modern expression of the brand's heritage of sophisticated performance, communicated with beautiful elegance." The front end features a prominent grille with Buick's newly colored tr-shield as the centerpiece. It's flanked by wings that stretch out horizontally and edgy headlights that portend the appearance of future Buicks. There's an aggressive fascia, chrome-trimmed vents, and it all rolls on 20-inch wheels. The Avista has a 110.7-inch wheelbase (which is the same as the Chevy Camaro), and the tracks measure 63 inches in front and 62.9 inches in back, which Buick says makes for a sporty stance. The B-pillarless cabin conjures the open layout of great boulevard cruisers of days gone by. It's done up in gray leather punctuated with carbon-fiber and aluminum accents. Yep, Buick does know how to do performance. In case you forgot, the Avista is a strong reminder of the past, and it offers hope for the brand's future. Watch the live unveiling in the video below. Buick Introduces Avista Concept Design elegance, performance heritage conveyed in turbocharged 2+2 coupe DETROIT – Ahead of its public debut at the North American International Auto Show, Buick today revealed the Avista concept Â– a 2+2 coupe that pushes the brand's contemporary design ethos and rekindles its historic performance roots. A sleek, sweeping proportion is the foundation for this vision of a contemporary grand tourer, with a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6 driving the rear wheels and a driver-focused cockpit offering a comfortable, connected center of control. "The Avista embodies the dynamic soul of Buick," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing.
