1964 Buick Lesabre Sport Coupe - Low Mileage Survivor - 300 V8 4bbl Carb on 2040-cars

Year:1964 Mileage:84873
Location:

Hemet, California, United States

Hemet, California, United States

This Buick was well taken care of by a couple here in Hemet.  The owner was a proud member of the Buick Club of America and a local chapter director.  That being said they babied this vehicle even after his wife passed and he could no longer drive.  Always garaged (since 1985) this vehicle was sold new here in Hemet.  Eugene purchased it on 1-23-1985 with 81,457 miles and as of this posting it now has only 84,873 miles.  On 12-13-2002 the transmission was rebuilt at 84,737 miles.  So here is how the numbers break down, 3,416 miles since purchase, 136 miles since transmission rebuild, and of those miles 55 were in the last month getting it ready to sell.

Eugene passed away in 2013 and I (Sheldon MacPherson 951-658-8444) am assisting his sister (Executrix of his estate) with the sale of his pride and joy.  I knew Eugene and his wife as fellow BCA members and vehicle events since 1986 when I came to Hemet.  They both worked in dealership parts departments, not the same one, and enjoyed the hobby of collecting Buicks.  This 1964 is the last of their collection.

I have put a few of the 55 miles on the car myself, taking pictures and finding out how the vehicle performs before listing here.  The engine, Wildcat 355, runs super quiet and has good acceleration due to having the High Output 300 cu in engine with 4 bbl carburetor and 11:1 compression ratio.  The good news is this combination with the Switch Pitch "300" transmission gets good mileage for all the comfort and style one enjoys with a Buick.

Inside and out the 50 year old Buick is a joy to drive and show.  The paint appears to be original with only very small rocker repair on the right rear just ahead of the rear tire.  It probably was done at the dealership before being purchased in 85 but I have no way of knowing.  There is just a slight amount of bondo showing if you look up closely to the bottom of the vehicle, other than that just very minor paint chips which have been touched up.  Not a perfect #1 car but a strong 2 to very high 3 with and interior that looks almost new.  Eugene had floor mats on top of floor mats to protect his show mats (note pictures).  What you cannot see in the pictures is the beautiful detail on the white crest in the center of the front and rear mats.  The one matching set is just like new and even smelled like they were just unwrapped.

The car comes with factory shop manuals, sales literature, salesman information, transmission rebuild information, temporary registration from purchase in 1985, owner's manual, and original matching numbers protection plan manual with plate.

If you have any questions please feel free to call and please leave a message if I am not at home.  My email address is s.macpherson@verizon.net and I have several more pictures, 56 total, and would be happy to help in any way.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions

Sat, 01 Mar 2014

With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
