Beautiful 1968 Buick Le Sabre Convertible

Amazing condition for a 44 year old car !   A great deal of money has been spent on body,

paint and wheels.  Looks great up close.  I was told this car came from California.  From

the lack of rust and corrosion underneath I find this believable.(see undercarriage photos)

Insured with Haggerty collectors insurance  at a low cost of $ 160 a year for liability and

full car value.   I can store this car for you until May 1st inside . 

I am a great believer in describing a car accurately . I have been selling collector cars on Ebay

since 1999 with no complaints and want to keep my good reputation.  If on inspection prior to

pick up you find something major wrong I missed, you can cancel the sale immediately for a

full refund.  I encourage you to have the car inspected. I have a great honest independent auto

shop that is tuning the car up now for the new owner where you can pay to have your own

inspection while up on a lift.

First the good about the car .

 

Amazing body and paint work  looks very presentable close up I see

no paint blisters, bubbles, no signs of rust. 

Great new tires and wheels  very expensive tires and wheels

Good presentable chrome

Good glass (one defect)

Seats are in very good shape as is dash top

Runs well. I am getting a new battery and tune up right now for the

new owner

New exhaust

Tires are size 255/30zr24  NZ7000 ? No expert on these big tires

Bad,  small delaminating crack in front very left lower corner of the

front windshield

No radio

I have NOT checked the top motor, as you do not want to lower a

convertible top when it is cold out

Dash brake light is on but brakes work well

I just had the ignition out to get new keys made so ignition is not back

in dash just hanging by wires

Drivers door lower carpet panel gone

Both door carpet sill chrome panels gone

At least one of the expensive tires is mounted with the tread rotation

in the wrong direction  (tire shows necessary direction of rotation  )

trim body piece on the rear deck just behind the convertible top is missing.

I am not an expert on this model (I restore Model T and Model A Fords)

so I will continue to inspect this car and list any additional good and bad points

Haggerty valuation without the tires is averaging  $ 12, 526  Many in this

shape are listed in the $ 18,000 price range

snow is on the black carpet on the pictures 

I have forgotten to check the mileage, speedometer operation  and heater

fan wipers and will do so.  Mileage listed therefore is an estimate.

Email me for lots more pictures and questions   This I believe is a great

price for this car

Reason for selling. I have about 14 collector cars and am running out

of room.  I bought this car last week for a Valentine’s day present for

my wife but she says it is too big for her.  I and many others consider

QUALITY classic cars as both fun to own and drive for the attention

factor and descent investments  The 1960's era cars should continue

to appreciate for 10-15 years, as the prices seem to peak as the teenagers

during those years who now are older and have money want these

cars back or the car they never had.

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.

Buick mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

Looking 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.
