                                                                BICENTENNIAL YEAR CLASSIC CAR

                                                              1976 BUICK LESABRE 4 DOOR CUSTOM

Most everyone that loves old cars has that fantasy of finding that nice lady or gentleman that has that wonderful older classic car hidden away in  the garage or storage & you are able to locate the gem & bring it out into the light of day & find that it has been so well taken care of that almost everything is still working & after some minor maintenance, it starts, runs drives, & stops very nice. I do believe we have found a 38 year old Auto in that realm. This is a wonderful classic from the days when cars were Big with Big Motors & would cruise down the highway like you were sitting in your living room. This Buick LeSabre is in unbelievable shape for a Garage Find. Someone really took care of this car. From the paperwork in the car, it looks to have been driven around 1600 miles in the last 22 years. The last service date & mileage is on the Amoco Service Station slip in the holder on the dashboard. As we  try each option on this car it is unbelievable that everything still works. I might have missed something but everything we could find worked. Things like Cold Air, Am/Fm Stereo Radio w/Power Antenna, Cruise Control Light, Power Windows, turn signals, Hi/Lo Heaqd Light Beams, Rear Window Defroster, Windshield Wipers w/Mist Button, Power Seat, Adjustable Speed Warning Buzzer, Power Trunk Release, & believe it or not, the silly CLOCK STILL WORKS! It was getting downright crazy trying to find something that did not work on this car, finally after checking everything we could think of, including all the lights, one of our neighbors called out when we were backing the car out of the driveway & informed us that one of the back up lights was out. Whew! Finally something that was not working.

          Car condition w/#1 being perfect Show Car, & #6 being good just for parts car,  This car would be a solid 3. Interior would be a 2, paint is a 4, engine & drive train is a solid 3. Drives like a number 2 car. Should be pretty easy to get to local car show condition & is already a Wonderful Daily Driver.

     I don't want anyone to think this LeSabre is a  perfect show car, because it is not, there are parking dings, some small paint chips, &  the paint is old but still looks good, could at least use a good buff & wax to bring it out. The right front fender has a scratch about the size of a basketball on it. Should be a easy fix for any local body shop. The chrome & trim work is very good for this age car,  maybe some polish on the bright work would really make it POP!  The paint is good but tired. We just washed the car & did not wax or buff the car to get more accurate condition pictures. If the car was buffed & waxed with a few touch ups, it should look absolutely great. We could have done more but we wanted to be able to offer the car at an affordable value & also let the new owner have a few things to do to get the best look out of the car. Anyone would have a real hard time finding a 1976 model car with these features that still work & in this kind of condition. The mileage on the odometer reads 34,608, & was stated to us as being original, which might be hard to believe until you see the condition of the interior & drive this car. Then it is not that hard to believe at all. Of Course, we cannot Guarantee the mileage, but believe most anyone will be comfortable with it when they see the condition & drive this car. Our family bought a new 1971 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser back when I was a teenager, this wonderful Buick drives just like that big Olds! Some folks might rather have the 455 motor, but we really like the 350 4 barrel motor this one has. It has all the power you will ever need & gets much better gas mileage.

             The recent items repaired or replaced on this newly uncovered classic include new 4 Barrel Carb-$300, pulled,cleaned radiator-$175, new plugs, plug wires, Dist. Cap, & Rotor-$75, new oil & transmission fluid replaced incl/new filters-$100, new tires-$400, & new rear brakes-$100, & Front Brakes checked out in great shape. Turn the key, fires right up & go cruising Tonight! I could keep writing about this car on & on, but I have tried to describe it as it is. We keep shaking our heads & smiling to be able to find a car like this so many years after it was made, in this kind of condition. The car is an honest & straight 38 year old car from America's Bicentennial Year & very easy on the eyes & pocketbook. WOW, what a car.

           WE HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD EXPAND ON THE ANSWERS A BIT. ONE WAS ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR & ALTHOUGH WE CANNOT GUARANTEE IT TO BE ORIGINAL MILEAGE, THE TITLE STATES THE MILEAGE AS ACTUAL. I BELIEVE IT IS ACTUAL FOR 2 MAIN REASONS, ONE BEING THE INTERIOR IS REALLY REMARKABLE EVEN INCLUDING THE LEATHER SEATS, CARPET & ORIGINAL HEADLINER, 2ND IS THE WAY THIS CAR DRIVES IS TIGHT, STRAIGHT & SO SMOOTH, BUT REMEMBER I AM THE ONE SELLING THE CAR!

I DID LIST THE MILEAGE WRONG WHEN I LISTED IT AT 34,608. IT IS 34,808. THE 8 LOOKED LIKE A 6 WHEN I LOOKED THE 1ST TIME. THAT IS ONLY 200 MILE MISTAKE BUT WANTED TO MAKE IT CORRECT.

THE OTHER QUESTION CONCERNED PAINT & ANY PREVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH ANSWERRING THAT SO I HAD A MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE CAR PERSON LOOK IT OVER TODAY & THEY SAID & ALSO SHOWED ME WHERE THE CAR HAD AT LEAST ONE REPAINT IN IT'S 38 YEARS (SAME FACTORY COLOR) BUT SAW NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE. THERE IS THE MENTIONED SCRATCH ON THE FRONT RIGHT FENDER ALTHOUGH WE HAVE HAD THAT CLEANED UP A BIT SO IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN IT DID IN THE PHOTOS. I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT. HE ALSO SAID & SHOWED ME THERE WAS USUAL OR NORMAL SURFACE RUST UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHICH SHOULD BE EXPECTED WITH THIS AGE CAR.  WHILE HE WAS UNDER THE CAR HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION PAN LOOKED CLEAN BUT THE OIL PAN HAD SOME OLD GRIME UNDER ABOUT 1/2  OF IT, SAYING ONCE AGAIN VERY NORMAL FOR THE AGE OF THE CAR.

ONCE AGAIN NOT A NEW OR MINT AUTO, BUT VERY NICE FOR THE AGE & READY TO CRUISE 2 LANE OR INTERSTATE. ANY MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL US THRU EBAY & WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANYTHING WE CAN.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

GM posts $4 billion third-quarter profit thanks to trucks and SUVs

Thu, Nov 5 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is posting huge third quarter numbers, pulling in $4 billion in profit over three months after losing money due to the virus outbreak. GM's adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share, easily outpacing Wall Street's per-share projections of $1.43, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue of $35.5 billion also edged out most expectations. Shares jumped almost 6% before the opening bell Thursday. The company swung back from a $806 million loss in the second quarter, when it was restarting factories shuttered for safety during the early stages of the pandemic. The Detroit automaker joined most global automakers in reporting better-than-expected earnings from July through September as sales across the globe started to rebound from coronavirus lockdowns, especially in China. GM sales in China jumped 12% in the third quarter, with sales of its Buick and Cadillac brands both rising more than 25%. In the U.S., GMÂ’s most profitable market, sales fell 9.9% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, but were a dramatic improvement over the 34% drop in the second quarter. Sales improved sequentially each month, the automaker said, an encouraging trend. GMÂ’s profit was boosted by higher-priced pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have seen strong sales in the U.S. through the pandemic. It was the best quarter on record for GM's Chevrolet Blazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT6 spiked 45% in the U.S. over last year. Large pickups also sold well. GM also said it was pumping $2 billion into its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant to push its transition to produce electric vehicles. Last week, crosstown rivals Fiat Chrysler and Ford reported strong third-quarter net income. FCA said it made $1.4 billion for the period, while Ford earned $2.39 billion.

1969 Buick Riviera is latest Hot Wheels Legends finalist

Mon, Aug 1 2022

The Hot Wheels Legends Tour traveled to Southern California, one of the bastions of car culture in the United States, to find the next custom-built car that it will add to its catalog of scale models. The winner of the latest stop is a 1969 Buick Riviera turned into a head-turning lowrider. Owned by Mario and Nora Zamudio of Los Angeles, the big coupe is finished in a color called Pagan Gold and fitted with bright wire wheels. The husband-and-wife team spent four years working nights and weekends to build the Riviera. They removed the exterior trim pieces to achieve a cleaner look, spent a considerable amount of time detailing the engine bay and fitted a hydraulic suspension system. The interior received the custom treatment as well. Pagan Gold accents on the dashboard complement the exterior, there's an aftermarket steering wheel with three bright spokes, and the beige and brown upholstery finishes to the look. Readers familiar with Riviera models from the 1960s will notice that some of the switches aren't original; they're used to control the hydraulic suspension. Power for this Riviera comes from the original 430-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8, which was rated at 360 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque in 1969. It spins the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission, and we bet it sounds excellent. One Buggy Mud Muncher Raptor View 13 Photos This eye-catching Riviera will move on to the semifinal round this fall, where it will compete against previous winners for the chance to get scaled down into a Hot Wheels model. The list of past winners is stunningly diverse: it includes a Volvo-powered 1968 Volkswagen Beetle, a kei truck turned into a monster truck, and a 1973 Toyota Celica powered by a General Motors-sourced V8 and nicknamed Tokyo Trans Am.
