                                                              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.

           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.

2017 Buick Encore freshens up for New York debut

Tue, Mar 22 2016

Buick has rolled in to the New York Auto Show this year with a revised version of the Encore, bringing with it a series of revisions to what's billed as "America's most popular small SUV." Most obvious is the new front end that adopts the brand's latest design language with a fresh grille and headlamps – full LEDs on top-spec models. The taillights are also new, the exhaust tips are now chromed, the door mirrors color-keyed to the bodywork, and of course it all rides on a new set of wheels. The updates continue inside, where you'll find new trim, new gauges, and an eight-inch color touchscreen display to run the IntelliLink system that now supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as OnStar 4G LTE with on-board wifi. Buyers will be able to choose between five trim levels and between front- or all-wheel drive. There are three new exterior paint choices as well. The Encore is based closely on the European-market Opel Mokka, which was similarly revealed in updated form at the Geneva Motor Show just last month. In Buick guise, the Encore has only been on the market now for three years, but already stands as the brand's top seller. Last year it alone accounted for nearly one in every three vehicles Buick sold, and has risen 34 percent so far this year as well. Subtle though they may be, these updates ought to keep the Encore at the top of its game for another few years to come.

A new front-end appearance and a new premium interior highlight the visual refinements, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported by a next-generation IntelliLink system featuring an 8-inch-diagonal color touch screen. Push-button start, keyless unlock via the exterior door handles and an 8-inch color touchscreen highlight the Encore's roster of new standard features. "The Buick Encore created the premium small SUV segment and remains the top choice for customers seeking premium features and dependability coupled with timeless design," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick Sales, Service and Marketing.

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.

2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up

Thu, 08 May 2014

The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.
