  Here's a rare find for you Buick guys !  I found this car back in 2002 for sale in West Virginia and flew out and looked it over , drove the car , and bought the car and drove it home . I bought the car because my Dad bought a brand new teal 1968 Le Sabre Deluxe 4  dr sedan and I always loved that big Buick ride and the body lines .

    So after I drove the car home I decided to find all the NOS parts I could find and make this 1968  Le Sabre Custom into a Deluxe model . After years of searching I found all the Deluxe  moldings and also the rare stainless steel body side moldings that was a dealer installed option . I didn't stop there !

 I kept searching and found more NOS parts . I found and bought  both front and rear tri shield emblems , right side mirror , side marker lights , front bumper , and the list keeps on going and going .

  While searching for NOS parts the front suspension was replaced , new springs all four corners , drive shaft center bearing replaced and all u joints .

  The brakes were all gone through as well , replaced tires with reproduction bias ply tires and put Buick road wheels on the car with new center caps as well .

   The interior is real close to new , in fact the seats have been reworked and NOS correct Buick fabric as well !  The original carpet and interior looks great . The am/fm factory stereo radio sounds great .

  The car was repainted before I bought it from the original owner with a nice but older driver quality paint job . There is one small dent on hood near windshield molding . I have been told that dent busters may be able to get the dent out but I have never took the time to take the car to them . I did find a NOS molding for the hood and will go with the car at the time of sale .

  The engine runs great and the transmission shifts smoothly . The 350-2 runs very smooth and uses no oil .  I believe the mileage is correct but no paperwork to verify . When you were to come and see the car and drive I believe you would agree with me .
 
  Also I have replaced the radiator , hoses , thermostat , water pump , belts , and more in the recent years . Also the single exhaust has been replaced with duals and has very low mellow sound at idle as well as driving down the road .

  I believe I have descibed the car the best I can . Take a look at the pictures and if you have any questions or would like to see any more pictures please contact me via email ! 

   Thanks for reading and happy bidding to all !

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.   Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
