I have a rare but custom 59 Buick Lesabre 2 door coupe up for sale with clean title and current registration in Northern CA. The body has had a 71 Pontiac frame and running gear fitted underneath, Pontiac 400 big block with dual exhaust and 2 barrel carb getting 16MPG, 400 auto trans. The entire body of the car was taken apart to be soda blasted before paint was applied the antenna was smoothed, door handles no poppers or cylinoids, mirrors, windshield wipers and the rear pan under the rear bumper was shortened and welded in with a custom fabricated rear bumper bracket. The whole entire body of the car was disassembled and everything removed stainless trim, mouldings, front clip, doors, trunk lid, hood, interior and glass were removed before paint and then the soda blasting began. The interior of the car was removed and the floor pan was sealed and painted black. Before the paint was applied all the steel was sealed and primed and then a PPG triple out white base coat and PPG clear coat was added, the top section of the car is PPG dark tropical teal with PPG clear as well. After the completion of the paint the car was reassembled with new fasteners, weather stripping and new front and rear glass. The hood hinges have been plated as well as the hood latch assembly, the doors and trunk lid assembly have been zinc plated as well. The stainless trim has been restraightened and polished. All the exterior chrome has been replated with a new custom grille and then a set of new tail lenses, parking lenses and head lights. The car sits super low with cut coils and no it is not bagged but has a small helper compressor mounted in the trunk (disconnected) for bags and rides really nice. To finish it off it had a set of Appliance wires with 3" Coker white walls. Moving to the interior of the car it had all new foam and vinyl added. The door panels were cut with new fiber board and all metal interior components were soda blasted and sealed before paint and interior layed. It has a Sony CD player, two 500 watt amps, with two kicker ten inch subs, 2 6x9 speakers. New gauges were installed but it does not have a speedometer it was on back order when interior was installed. The trunk compartment has had a custom trunk kit built where the side compartments open for storage and battery access. The car starts right up and was built for warm California weather with the windows down. The heater works but is missing a cable and the ac needs to be recharged. I never drove this car in the rain or cold so the above items mentioned were not important to me, I had it built for me. If you have any questions feel free to ask and this car is a show stopper and gathers major conversations at any show or while out driving. Buyer to pay for all shipping charges and $500.00 dollar deposit through Pay pal required 48 hours after winning bid. Remainder of Payment maybe cashiers check or wire transfer accepted.

Junkyard Gem: 1993 Buick Roadmaster Sedan
Mon, Oct 31 2022In 1931, GM's Buick Division introduced an eight-cylinder engine in its stolid rear-wheel-drive sedan models, and Americans could buy big, comfortable Buick four-doors with straight-eights and — starting in the 1954 model year — V8s driving the rear wheels for more than a half-century after that. Then, the last rear-wheel-drive LeSabre left the assembly line in 1985, and it seemed that an era had ended forever. But wait! For the 1992 model year, Buick revived the Roadmaster name and applied it to an old-timey giant sedan with a V8 engine sending power to the proper wheels. Production of the Roadmaster sedan continued through 1996, and I've found one of those throwback Buicks in a Denver self-service car graveyard. Yes, in an America full of front-wheel-drive cars contaminated by European or — even worse — Japanese influences, The General brought back the spirit of the 1931 Buick sedan. Sure, it was really a near-identical twin to the "whale-body" Chevy Caprice, complete with Chevrolet small-block V8 engine, but that didn't matter. This was the kind of Buick that our prosperous great-grandparents bought in 1932 and 1948 and 1957. And the appeal of the great big eight-cylinder Buick sedan wasn't just limited to the United States. When the film adaptation of the great Marguerite Duras novel, L'Amant, was made, only a 1932 Buick 90 sedan would have made sense for the wheels of the wealthy Saigon heir. A big reason Buick is such an important brand in China right now is the legacy left by the memorable Buick machinery that owned the roads of 1930s China. These days, most of the 1992-1996 Roadmasters you'll see will be the station wagons, but we mustn't forget the sedans. Looking at the interior of this car is like a flashback to the 1960s, when stately Buick sedans had squishy seats you'd just disappear into when you climbed in. Cool-sounding names for ordinary features had gone out of style decades earlier, but not for the Roadmaster! Dynaride was a rear suspension that used air shocks and a compressor to keep the ride height level regardless of load. The last model year for a genuine Buick V8 engine was 1980, though you could make the case that the Rover V8 (made until 2006) was really a Buick all along. The engine in this car is pure Chevrolet: a 5.7-liter small-block V8 rated at 180 horsepower. Buick was a big Olympics sponsor at this time, while Oldsmobile handled golf. Still, the Buick-buying demographic of 1993 tended to approve of golf.
Buick mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too
Mon, 21 Oct 2013Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano.
In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power.
Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.
Buick Cascada will start at $33,990
Fri, Sep 25 2015The Buick Cascada goes on sale early next year, bringing open-air motoring to the brand in the US for the first time in 25 years, and you'll need $33,990 to buy the standard model. Notice there's no asterisk after that price in the headline, because $33,990 includes the destination charge. Buick compares this convertible with the $37,525 Audi A3 droptop, noting that the 200-horsepower Cascada has 30 more hp, navigation and heated front seats as standard, eight-way power seats instead of four-way, 20-inch wheels instead of 17-inchers, and a heated steering wheel. The Cascada in Premium trim will run $36,990 and add forward collision alert and lane departure warning, auto headlights, park assist front and back, rain-sensing wipers, and two air deflectors. Quite a few of you have commented that it would be great if Buick could price the Cascada where the defunct Chrysler 200 Convertible used to live, and it's in the neighborhood. The 2014 200 S convertible was the top of the line in the model's last year, came with a 283-hp, 3.6-liter V6, and started at $33,445 before destination. It lacked the features, refinement, and looks of the Cascada, and that thirsty V6 got you gas mileage of 14 highway, 21 city. The soon-to-depart Volkswagen Eos, which also comes up frequently in Comments, starts at $32,860 after destination. If Buick kept the suspension tuning engaging, this could be really good. There's a press release below with more info. Your browser does not support iframes. Buick Cascada Priced at $33,990 Well-equipped convertible offers high levels of standard content, technology DETROIT, 2015-09-23 – The top-down driving experience of the 2016 Cascada – Buick's first convertible offered in the United States in 25 years – is priced at $33,990. When it goes on sale early next year, the Cascada will offer more standard content, a more powerful standard engine and a lower starting price than the Audi A3 Cabriolet. "Cascada expands Buick's lineup with a uniquely fun and personal driving experience," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. "With a lower price than key competitors, it also promises to shake up the segment – and look good doing it." The 2016 Cascada – designed from the ground up as a convertible – comes well-equipped in a 2+2 configuration, with room for four adults.
