Beautiful 1968 Buick Le Sabre Convertible

Amazing condition for a 44 year old car !   A great deal of money has been spent on body,

paint and wheels.  Looks great up close.  I was told this car came from California.  From

the lack of rust and corrosion underneath I find this believable.(see undercarriage photos)

Insured with Haggerty collectors insurance  at a low cost of $ 160 a year for liability and

full car value.   I can store this car for you until May 1st inside . 

I am a great believer in describing a car accurately . I have been selling collector cars on Ebay

since 1999 with no complaints and want to keep my good reputation.  If on inspection prior to

pick up you find something major wrong I missed, you can cancel the sale immediately for a

full refund.  I encourage you to have the car inspected. I have a great honest independent auto

shop that is tuning the car up now for the new owner where you can pay to have your own

inspection while up on a lift.

First the good about the car .

 

Amazing body and paint work  looks very presentable close up I see

no paint blisters, bubbles, no signs of rust. 

Great new tires and wheels  very expensive tires and wheels

Good presentable chrome

Good glass (one defect)

Seats are in very good shape as is dash top

Runs well. I am getting a new battery and tune up right now for the

new owner

New exhaust

Tires are size 255/30zr24  NZ7000 ? No expert on these big tires

Bad,  small delaminating crack in front very left lower corner of the

front windshield

No radio

I have NOT checked the top motor, as you do not want to lower a

convertible top when it is cold out

Dash brake light is on but brakes work well

I just had the ignition out to get new keys made so ignition is not back

in dash just hanging by wires

Drivers door lower carpet panel gone

Both door carpet sill chrome panels gone

At least one of the expensive tires is mounted with the tread rotation

in the wrong direction  (tire shows necessary direction of rotation  )

trim body piece on the rear deck just behind the convertible top is missing.

I am not an expert on this model (I restore Model T and Model A Fords)

so I will continue to inspect this car and list any additional good and bad points

Haggerty valuation without the tires is averaging  $ 12, 526  Many in this

shape are listed in the $ 18,000 price range

snow is on the black carpet on the pictures 

I have forgotten to check the mileage, speedometer operation  and heater

fan wipers and will do so.  Mileage listed therefore is an estimate.

Email me for lots more pictures and questions   This I believe is a great

price for this car

Reason for selling. I have about 14 collector cars and am running out

of room.  I bought this car last week for a Valentine’s day present for

my wife but she says it is too big for her.  I and many others consider

QUALITY classic cars as both fun to own and drive for the attention

factor and descent investments  The 1960's era cars should continue

to appreciate for 10-15 years, as the prices seem to peak as the teenagers

during those years who now are older and have money want these

cars back or the car they never had.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
