1975 Buick LeSabre Custom convertible. Brief history; Bought new by my in-laws on April 8, 1975 in Province of Alberta, Canada for the sum of 5,656.00 CD. (bill of sale from the dealer, and bank regarding satisfaction of Chattel Mortgage are included, along with other docs; Owner's Manual, Warranty Card, Accessory pamphlet, Color stub., other) Used sporadically and given to me in 1985. with then mileage of 33+Kmiles. Next, I drove it to LA, California ( a distance of over 1300 miles) where I used rarely till 2006. Next I drove it to Florida where I don't use it at all. Following are modifications performed in California, not necessarily in chronological order; 1. Rear main engine seal replaced. The original was dry and leaked some oil in my garage. 2. New Midas muffler installed 3. New tires fitted 4. All oils and fluids changed including differential. 5 New Holly carb installed. Original Rochester Quadrajet, although fully functional, could not be adjusted to satisfy California emissions control. 6. New top installed as the original black color top turned to the undescript after 5 years under California sun. 7. New Glove Compartment installed. 8. All rubber gaskets for windows, doors, trunk, and windshield were replaced. 9. Large volume electric fan with thermostat was installed for no technical reason. 10. New break pads installed 11. MSD ignition system was installed to help pollution control. Modifications made in Florida; 1. New Wal-Mart Battery installed ( 11/15/2013) 2. Top motor and relay replaced. 3. New break lines, master cylinder and oversized buster installed. On Jan-26-14 at 04:32:50 PST, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that new rear coils and shocks were also installed while in California, as well new floor carpet. Specific for this vehicle. This car has the original "no radio" dashboard, but I have NOS board with radio cut-out from American made Buick as I planned to add radio, but I couldn't find suitable original 1975 Buick unit for this car.. That dashboard is included with this car for the winner at no extra charge. The new top motor opens the top very fast, but closes it slowly. It looks like it could use adjustment by qualified mechanic. There is a small seam open on the driver's seat that needs to be re-stitched. The car drives excellent, and produces soft and comfortable ride. In my experience it gets 20 MPG on the open road, and approx. 15 in town. It is mostly due to the "Cadillac type" tires that are 12% oversized It is 6 pass car, and it has 6 seat belt sets. 1975 was the first year of NO Lead gas and so it is inscribed in English and French at the fuel cap. Since it became antique car there are no pollution controls required and original the catalytic converted was removed and replaced with a pipe. |

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.
1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
