1964 Buick LeSabre 355 Wildcat Engine
This Buick LeSabre is a great car. It has 72,000 miles. 4 doors without pillars, great for open window cruising. It is 100% original. Everything is totally stock. I would like to call it a barn find since it came from the 2nd owner who just drove it for fun. I will rate the condition good for a 50 year old car.
This is a great start for a Rat Rod or Lowrider or great Summer Classic Cruiser.
There are only a couple small spots of rust in normal places – at bottom of front fenders and a small spot at bottom fear fender. Any other rust is only surface rust. The car has mostly original paint. I say that because the rooftop is original patina in deep blue. The bottom of the car is original paint on top half. It appears the bottom half was repainted some. There is no rust at all on the pillars, floor boards, trunk, and window areas or around critical structure areas. The floorboards are really clean.
The body on all the lines is straight. The doors show dings and a couple dents which seem to have been pushed back out, but there is no break or rust in the metal. The rear bumper does need to be replaced. The original owner was elderly and bumped a few things which are why the doors and rear bumper show the dings and dents. Bottom line is the cars body is a great place to start for a restore or touch it up to drive it like it is.
The 355 Wildcat Engine runs good and can drive reasonable distances right now. This was the year they went back to a cast iron block with aluminum heads and intake. It will need a water pump which I will replace. It also needs an exhaust system and just has cheater duals on it for now. This way you can pick the kind of exhaust you want. Power Steering, Power Brakes, 2 speed transmission all work great.
Almost every function on the car seems to work. The windows work great. The wing windows easily. The doors close smooth and solid. All the rubber is in good to great shape. The trunk weather stripping is in great shape. The hood padding underneath is in great shape as well. The electronics, turn signals, windshield wipers – even the squirters work and has a backup glass water bottle under the hood.
The interior is also in great shape, appears original and good looking. There are two minor tears in the seats but not in the seating area. The original carpet is exceptionally clean. All the interior door panels are in real good shape but the driver’s panel needs a little attention to put the vinyl in place at the very bottom.
The issues I see that need attention are, the exhaust, carb should be rebuilt or replaced to be more efficient, heater core is disconnected and may need replacing, door body panels are not perfect, and will need new tires to be road trustworthy.
This is a great car to invest in. We bought it to use to promote our business, but we have to reduce our projects. You can have a cool car, rat rod, lowrider or anything you want to make of it.
I am asking $4,500 or best offer. If you’re short on cash, I can take a credit card for payment since I bought this to use for my business promotion.
Possible delivery may be an option to certain parts of the country for a reasonable cost.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident
Sat, 09 Mar 2013A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
