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

Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar
Wed, 03 Sep 2014There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
GM mulling Chevy Cruze hatchback for US, Buick 'Panamera' among other new models
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've spoken at length previously about the fallacy of poor hatchback sales in the US, and with the runaway success of its Chevrolet Cruze sedan, it's somewhat unsurprising to hear that General Motors is rethinking its decision not to sell an overseas five-door variant in North America as it looks to plug a number of holes in its lineup. GM North American President Mark Reuss admitted during a media luncheon this week that not offering the model "... was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake," says Forbes. With the next-generation model already well-along in development, it's likely that the current Cruze hatch (shown above) won't see US dealers.
Reuss admits not offering the model "was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake"
In what must have been a far-reaching conversation, Reuss hinted at a number of new products for many GM brands, including "a much more beautiful Panamera" range-topper for Buick (which sounds a bit like the line of reasoning the TriShield brand has been pursuing with its Riviera concepts) and a "Ford Transit Connect-fighter" to supplant the recently announced badge-engineered Chevy City Express from Nissan.
Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
