Here is a very nice, very clean 1974 Buick LeSabre Convertible. 5.7L 350 Buick motor. 71,320 original miles. This is the 'Luxus' model, which I believe was only offered for 1974 convertibles only. This is a seldom seen model, with only 3,627 produced. When's the last time you seen one? This is a good running, and driving car. Hop in, and drive. It is not perfect, but is in exceptional condition and is absolutely worth throwing some money at over time and having a high dollar, rare, convertible. Wheels are in good shape, and show well. Tires are in good shape too. Bumpers are nice, light scratches and fading, normal wear, still nice though. The paint has some scratches, and touch-ups and fading in 1 or 2 areas. Overall it shows quite well, but is far from perfect. 10-footer. The body has no rot, and is straight. Some rust bubbleing up around the LH rear qtr under the paint, see pic, is the worst rust on the body, and it's minimal. There's a few 'dime-sized' dings here and there, but not many. The top is in fair condition, goes up and down on it's own just fine, top is ok, has a small tear or 2, but is in good shape otherwise. I personally would eventually replace it, but is 100% functional and useable as is. Has clear plastic rear window. Comes with white vinyl boot cover. Cover has seemed to have slightly shrunk over time and is kind of a pain to put on, but maybe you can stretch it back out. Interior is in great shape. Carpet is decent, dash has no cracks. Door panels, arm rests, and trim in excellent shape. Has 8-track AM/FM radio. Back speakers still work, front is shot. All electrical functions front to back work 100%. No A/C. Seats are the only real issue with the interior. The front seat needs to be re-upholstered. It is ripped, and needs to be re-covered. The bottom half of the rear has 2 blemishes, that someone tried to repair? Other than that, the back seat is in great shape, and for that matter so is the rest of the interior. No power options, the crank windows go up and down perfect. All glass in excellent shape. Steering wheel and column looks great and functions perfect. Brakes work great, and car rides nice and smooth. Underbody is very clean, frame is solid, and all floors, with the exception of the rear drivers, are perfect. Not sure why this one area rotted out, given how clean the rest of the underside is, but, is a pretty simple repair for anyone who can weld, and is not that big of an area. Under the hood has fresh air filter, spark plugs and wires, and oil change. Also has new emergeny brake cables. Transmission shifts as it should. Car starts right up and runs good. The bad: Like I said, the body and top are nice, but not perfect, and the seats need attention. And the floorpan. The battery doesn't hold a charge if it sits for a few days. When it's started everyday it's fine. The heater core doesn't work, and has been disconnected and bypassed. I just haven't had time to fix it. Headlight buckets have pitting in the chrome, and so does the taillight trim. The exhaust has a light grumble, due to a leak at the manifold and y-pipe connection. Not bad at all, it's just not silent. I want whoever considers buying this car to have no worries or un-answered questions. Please call or email with any questions you have. I am looking for a fair price, and will accept a reasonable offer. Car will not be given away. Thanks for looking, and again, please call with any questions you have. -Ryan 585-520-2440. !!!!---->Please visit my Flickr photo page where you can find many more photos of the car. Simply go to Flickr.com, and go to caprala23's photo page. I will be adding more pictures tomorrow of inside the trunk and the underbody, and I can add more at you're request anytime.

GM issues CUV stop-sale due to Goodyear tires [UPDATE]
Thu, Jan 22 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that only 6,281 tires were installed on the CUVs, when in actuality, there were 6,281 CUVs affected by the stop-sale order, totaling 25,124 tires. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on some 6,300 of its Lambda platform crossovers due to a pending recall on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. The affected vehicles include all three flavors of GM's large CUV platform, consisting of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. Goodyear is recalling a total of 48,500 Fortera HL tires after discovering "very small" cracks in the tread, found during internal testing. Of the affected tires, 32,100 were made for GM, Goodyear told Automotive News. According to GM, 6,281 CUVs were fitted with the questionable rubber, totaling 25,124 of the company's 32,100 tires. The remainder were stocked as replacements, a GM rep told Autoblog. The remaining 16,400 tires were built specifically for the aftermarket. Goodyear reports that the cracks do "not indicate a safety issue." Meanwhile, a GM spokesman told AN that stop-sale "will eventually lead to a non-compliance recall by GM."

Question of the Day: Best recipient for supercharged GM V6?
Wed, Apr 20 2016The good old Buick V6 engine was built from 1961 through 2008 (including a decade of production by Kaiser-Jeep) and went into way too many General Motors vehicles to list here. In 1991, the supercharged version of the 3800 was introduced, with a Roots-style Eaton blower on top, and now you can find these engines in just about every junkyard in North America. The 3800 shares a bellhousing pattern with the also-made-by-the-zillions GM 60° V6 engine, which means that it will install (with varying levels of sledgehammer clearancing and/or axle mix-and-matching) into plenty of GM vehicles that never received the 3800 from the factory. That means one thing: engine swaps! An excellent example of this is the 1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV "Dustbuster" minivan, which is a fully caged high-performance road-racing machine that features a supercharged 3800 and 5-speed manual transmission under its long, vacuum-cleaner-snout-like hood. The RaceVan, in Springfield Monorail livery, will compete this weekend at the Michigan 24 Hours of LeMons race with Autobloggers Mike Austin, David Gluckman, and Alex Kierstein at the wheel. My personal choice for supercharged 3800 power, though, has to be the Cadillac Cimarron, preferably the not-so-sought-after Cimarron d'Oro Edition. Some bashing and welding and cutting and pasting and this lightweight Cavalier sibling could have well over double its original horsepower. So, what's your blown 3800 engine-swap choice?

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
