 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.

2016 Buick Envision might be your first Chinese-built crossover

Mon, Jan 11 2016

At the Detroit Auto Show, the new Envision crossover flips the traditional Buick paridigm on its head. We've been hearing for years about strong sales of the Buick brand in China, but now we'll see if North America is ready for a Chinese-built (but, as GM is very quick to point out, American-engineered) CUV. The Envision rides on the latest version of the Delta 2 platform that underpins many GM vehicles. It'll slot between the tiny Encore and the cavernous Enclave, which is a nice sweet spot for volume sales in the hot crossover market. Gas is cheap, and Americans are eating these vehicles up – in a market like this, does it really matter where the Envision was actually screwed together? The powertrain package is surprisingly compelling – perhaps there will be some life to the driving experience. Motivation is provided by a 252-horsepower turbo inline-four and a six-speed auto, and in a first for a Buick crossover, it'll feature the torque-steer fighting HiPer suspension, which splits up steering and suspension duties in a way that'll tidy up the front axle's manners under power. A few other neat tricks make it into the Envision, like active grille shutters to squeeze some extra efficiency out of the CUV, and available park assist. The 2016 Buick Envision goes on sale later this year. Buick Introduces Envision Luxury Crossover DETROIT – The 2016 Envision is an all-new luxury compact crossover with segment-challenging driving dynamics, advanced technology, connectivity and Buick's trademark interior acoustics. It is a global vehicle, designed from the ground up as a Buick luxury compact crossover. It goes on sale in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2016. "The all-new Buick Envision is a modern, confident and responsive luxury compact crossover that combines the brand's core characteristics with great performance features like our HiPer strut suspension," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick.

Here are all the cars GM is axing as part of its restructuring

Tue, Nov 27 2018

GM plans to kill off a couple of great and a few meh cars as part of its restructuring. Here's a rundown of all the cars being phased out of production. None of the vehicles GM axed were SUVs or crossovers. Instead, it was an action reminiscent of what Ford recently decided to do by discontinuing U.S. sales every Blue Oval sedan. GM just didn't explicitly say, "We're killing our cars," like Ford did — probably a smart move by GM. Keep scrolling down to see the full list of deceased GM models. Chevrolet Volt This one was the most surprising of all the cars GM decided to can, primarily because cars with plugs are supposed to be our future. However, maybe consumer demand just isn't quite there yet for a plug-in like the Volt. We came up with all sorts of ideas for what was to blame for the untimely demise of the Volt, so go check that out for a full breakdown of the situation. Cadillac CT6 Here's another car we'll be sad to see go. Cadillac's flagship sedan was such a joy to drive, and it served as the conduit to deliver GM's semi-autonomous Super Cruise system, which still hasn't been surpassed by any other company's technology in our books, even Tesla's Autopilot. That being said, GM does plan to produce the CT6 until March, with the last cars coming off the line set to be twin-turbo V8 V-Series models. If it's going to go, this seems like a pretty great way to make an exit. We'll be patiently awaiting the next flagship Cadillac once this one finally fades away. Chevrolet Impala The Impala is actually a pretty good car. It doesn't sell terribly, and we think it's a completely satisfactory car to drive. However, people would rather have a Traverse or Equinox these days, making the Impala one of the vehicles to find itself on this list. Chevrolet is keeping its smaller brother, the Malibu, but a big, full-size sedan just isn't what people are ordering up these days. It's unfortunate to see it go, but we won't be broken up over it. Chevrolet Cruze We wouldn't rank the Cruze at the top of the compact car class, but if you were looking for a small, cheap American car, it was either this or the Focus. The Cruze had the potential to be a true small performance car if Chevy had ever wanted to make it into one. But sadly, we're seeing it bow out before Chevy ever tried to slot a hot engine and suspension in there to make it competitive with other hot hatches. A Cruze SS would have made enthusiasts take notice.

Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
