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. |

2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
2014 Buick Regal priced from $29,690*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Buick has announced pricing for the refreshed 2014 Regal. The base model offers a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 259-horsepower, four-cylinder engine for $30,615 (*after $925 delivery and destination fee). The standard turbo can be replaced by Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system for $32,485. The electrified powertrain delivers 36 miles per gallon, in place of the turbo's 30 mpg on the highway.
The big powertrain news for 2014 is the inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,175. Marking one of the few uses of all-wheel drive on a Buick car, the new Regal AWD has an electronic, limited-slip differential and a HiPer Strut front suspension, which is the same front arrangement used on the hot, front-drive Regal GS.
Speaking of the Regal GS, it's not so hot for 2014. It sports the same 259-horsepower engine as the standard Regal, but offsets that with a wealth of standard, optional or flat-out exclusive equipment like active dampers, Brembo brakes and a Bose stereo. Prices (all including the $925 fee) start at $37,830. Like the standard car, the GS will be available with all-wheel drive for the first time, bringing it a bit more in line with its cousins across the pond - Opel Insignia OPC and Vauxhall Insignia VXR. Prices for the GS AWD start at $40,195.
Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.
