 Up for bid is a 1963 Buick LeSabre 2 door coupe factory equipped with a high torque 401 cubic inch 'Nail Head' engine, Dynaflow 2-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and 'Sonomatic' radio. This Buick starts, stops, and drives just as smooth as it did when it left the showroom floor. It is an amazingly complete 50-year old classic retaining most of it's original components, even the spare battery-acid glass jar is still firmly secured to the inner fender of the engine bay. The interior still shods the factory carpet, door panels, and seat upholstery however, it is missing the two sunvisors (chrome mounts are present) and the headliner material has been removed but the bows are still installed.  The heater controls, radio, and fuel gauge are not working but a new fuel sending unit (still in the box) is included. Also, the power brake pedal is missing it's rubber pad and the headlight switch is missing it's chrome bezel. The glove box contains the original owner's manual and the trunk contains the original bumper jack and lug wrench and a Remington bias ply G78-15 spare tire.

A previous owner has slightly modified this vehicle with dual glasspack mufflers complete with chrome bell flower tail pipes and a "Superflames" flamethrower kit. The exterior has received a matte-black paint finish and the riding height has been lowered slightly. In addition, a remote-controlled Sony AM/FM stereo with MP3 disc player has been installed in the trunk.

All lights, glass, trim moldings, and emblems are present and in good condition. The right corner of the rear bumper which serves as the back up light housing has been pulled away from the quarter panel and the bumper has an area of rust-thru adjacent to the this corner. As you will see in the photos, there are several areas of rust bubbles forming under the paint on the hood, trunk, along the trim moldings, and at the lower portion of each door skin, however, the rocker panels, frame, and floor pans of the vehicle are all solid.

The engine starts right up, idles smoothly, and accelerates effortlessly with no fluid leaks or overheating. The transmission also operates smoothly and quietly with no fluid leaks. The tires have very good tread remaining and the steering and brake systems operate smoothly also with no fluid leaks.

This vehicle is for sale "as-is, where is" so please view all the photos and ask any questions prior to placing your bid.  Buyer is responsible for transport of vehicle and I can assist with pick up as needed.

Don't delay your bid as I have this vehicle for sale elsewhere and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time if a collector makes an offer I can't refuse.

Nissan Sentra, Buick LaCrosse to headline LA Auto Show

Wed, Oct 21 2015

We're less than a month away from the start of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and automakers have been lining up their debuts for the upcoming left-coast expo. The latest announcement comes from the show's organizers who are eager to tout the global debuts slated for next month. Chief among them will be new versions of the Buick LaCrosse and Nissan Sentra. So far all we've seen of the 2017 LaCrosse is a glimpse at the front grille, but it's already promising to bring elements of the Avenir concept to the street. The original LaCrosse was launched in 2004 and was replaced in 2010 with the current model. The Sentra nameplate has been around much longer, but the current model was launched more recently in 2013. The new version spied recently while undergoing testing is promised to be a substantial update on that model, not a complete replacement, bringing it up to speed with the latest equipment and revised styling. This represents the first official confirmation we've received of when Nissan will be unveiling the new Sentra. Mitsubishi will also be on hand with its new Outlander Sport, as well as the redesigned Mirage. They'll be joined as well by new versions of a couple of high-end models that promise to resonate with the local crowds in tinseltown. Land Rover has chosen the LA show as a suitable venue to unveil the production Range Rover Evoque Convertible that will drop the top on one of the most stylish luxury crossovers on the market. And Porsche, as we know, is gearing up to hit the track with the new Cayman GT4 Clubsport - a customer racing version of the company's little two-seat, mid-engined sports car that's been lightly modified for motorsport competition. Of course these won't be the only new metal on display at the Californian auto expo. They'll be joined as well by the likes of the new Infiniti QX30, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Sportage, and Jaguar F-Pace - many of which we've already seen. Meanwhile companies like Fiat, Ford, Mazda, Mercedes, Subaru, Volvo, Volkswagen, and Elio Motors are keeping their plans under wraps for the time being. But with mere weeks to go, it won't be long before we see what they've got in store as well.

GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."

Repo man pays off elderly couple's car just in time for Thanksgiving

Mon, Nov 28 2016

Repo men get bad raps for a good reason; no one likes having their car taken away. At least one guy in the repossession game proved folks in his profession aren't all bad when he helped an elderly couple hold on to their wheels right before Thanksgiving. According to the Belleville News-Democrat, unexpected bills and the rising cost of prescription medications pushed Stanford and Patty Kipping's fixed income to the breaking point. Unable to keep up with the $95 dollar a month payment on their 1998 Buick, they fell into arrears and the bank sent a repo man out to their home in Red Bud, Illinois to reclaim the car. Jim Ford, co-owner of Illini Recovery Inc., hooked up the old Buick and dragged it away, but later that night his conscience caught up with him. "When I got home that night, I said to myself, 'They are a real nice elderly couple. I gotta do something. I can't just take their car,'" Ford told the News-Democrat. Ford did do something, something surprisingly humane. He set up a GoFundMe and, within just a few short hours, he raised more than $3,500 dollars. This was enough money to pay off the Kipping's loan with a little left over for some maintenance. Ford and a friend then hooked the car back up and towed it back to the Kipping's home. Ford presented the couple with their trusty Buick, and threw in a thousand dollars in an envelope and a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving. "It was a miracle come true," Patty told the paper. "We didn't know what we were going to do." "I got up this morning and I looked up at the sun and I said, 'I hope we get our car back,'" added Stanford. "It's just unbelievable."Related Video: News Source: Belleville News-Democrat Auto News Weird Car News Buick repossession repo man
