Firstly, the car is a 77.5K original mile California Car. I bought it from the second owner in Arizona. The car was optioned out and was meticulously garaged and cared for by both owners.  The car runs and looks great!  It’s 300 miles into it's rebuilt original 401 cu. in. 6.6L V8 produces 280 hp. Drives better than a '63 Caddy and or Oldsmobile AND really rare and cooler. Great native survivor.  Original options include the rare magnum style factory wheels which absolutely make the car.  I was told only 260 '63 LeSabres were optioned with these wheels. I bring it to Coffee and Cars in Palos Verdes and it gathers nearly as many people and photographers as $1 Million+ Gullwing Mercedes and the other poster cars there. Many are excited to see a LeSabre convertible for the first time or get to see a great example again since childhood.  The brakes, steering, motor, are all in top notch condition.  I live in the hills and need those things to be perfect with two little kid passengers.  The upholestry and convertible top are 3 months old and perfect!  The dash pad has even been redone too!  The chrome on the car is bright near perfect original. Best of all is the paint is high quality PPG and 3 months old and perfect! There isn't a blemish on the paint.  I can't find a bit of rust.  There are no swirls, chips, pits, bubbles, cracks, runs or anything wrong with the exterior paint.  The only problems I could find are the new power antenna was never hooked up and the air doesn't blow very hard.  I've never needed either though because it's only been driven in So. Cal with the top down.  Overall I'd give the car a 8.5 out of 10. Please feel free to contact to schedule a test drive. I reserve the right to end the option at any time as the car is advertised elsewhere and I have friends trying to trade cars for it. The car is part of a larger collection (mostly Mopar) kept at the Torrance airport most of the year.  I have had my fun and now it is time to thin the herd and rotate the collection.  This has been fun to cruise to Hollywood, car shows and pick the kids up from school.  I am willing to lose some of my investment knowing I had my fun and the car will live on another 50 years.   
Here's a small Youtube video I took near my house showing how smoothly and quietly the car climbs the hills and handles corners: youtube.com/watch?v=Grm858azkQw

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems

Fri, Sep 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:

2014 Buick LaCrosse updated with new styling, tech

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

Buick might have one of the smallest lineups among major automakers, but by the time the 2014 model rolls around, it will definitely have one of the freshest. Debuting at the New York Auto Show this week, the 2014 Buick LaCrosse receives numerous styling changes inside and out, and it benefits from many of the same new features found on closely related models like the Cadillac XTS and the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
Exterior changes are relatively minor, but they still help give the car a fresh, new look. The new face of the 2014 LaCrosse fits in with recently new or redesigned Buick models with its oversized waterfall grille, LED-trimmed headlights and the signature hood vents being moved to the side of the hood rather than the top. Similar changes have been made to the rear, like the reshaped LED taillights, the full-width chrome trim and a new fascia design; LaCrosse models equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 will still get the integrated exhaust finishers but they're executed in a more stylish manner than the current model. Finishing off the exterior, new wheel designs are also being introduced, which will include bringing 20-inch wheels to the sedan's option list.
Inside, Buick redesigned almost the entire cabin to create a more luxurious and upscale appearance. The instrument panel is essentially carried over, but pretty much everything else has been redesigned and updated with the biggest change being to the driver's area. Dual eight-inch configurable displays make up the center stack and gauge cluster, while the overall number of buttons have been reduced from 17 down to just seven. The 2014 LaCrosse will also be offered with the next-generation IntelliLink, which receives many of the same enhancements as Chevy's latest version of MyLink adding better customization, improved voice commands and more features including Pandora. Additionally, new door panels, seat and center console complete the LaCrosse's interior redesign.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.   Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
