Firstly, the car is a 77.5K original mile California Car. I bought it from the second owner in Arizona. The car was optioned out and was meticulously garaged and cared for by both owners. The car runs and looks great! It’s 300 miles into it's rebuilt original 401 cu. in. 6.6L V8 produces 280 hp. Drives better than a '63 Caddy and or Oldsmobile AND really rare and cooler. Great native survivor. Original options include the rare magnum style factory wheels which absolutely make the car. I was told only 260 '63 LeSabres were optioned with these wheels. I bring it to Coffee and Cars in Palos Verdes and it gathers nearly as many people and photographers as $1 Million+ Gullwing Mercedes and the other poster cars there. Many are excited to see a LeSabre convertible for the first time or get to see a great example again since childhood. The brakes, steering, motor, are all in top notch condition. I live in the hills and need those things to be perfect with two little kid passengers. The upholestry and convertible top are 3 months old and perfect! The dash pad has even been redone too! The chrome on the car is bright near perfect original. Best of all is the paint is high quality PPG and 3 months old and perfect! There isn't a blemish on the paint. I can't find a bit of rust. There are no swirls, chips, pits, bubbles, cracks, runs or anything wrong with the exterior paint. Everything works except the radio. The power new power antenna was never hooked up. Even the clock works! Overall I'd give the car a 9 out of 10. Please feel free to contact to schedule a test drive. I reserve the right to end the option at any time as the car is advertised elsewhere and I have friends trying to trade cars for it. The car is part of a larger collection kept at the Torrance airport most of the year. I have had my fun and now it is time to thin the herd and rotate the collection. This has been fun to cruise to Hollywood, car shows and pick the kids up from school. I am willing to lose some of my restoration costs knowing I had my fun and the car will live on another 50 years. Good luck bidding.
Here's a small Youtube video I took near my house showing how smoothly and quietly the car climbs the hills and handles corners: http://youtu.be/Grm858azkQw

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?
GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
