1962 Buick Lesabre! Wildcat 401 Nail Head! Fresh Tune-up! Excellent Tires! on 2040-cars
Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States
|
1962 Buick LeSabre Sanded to Bare Metal then Clear Coated 401 NailHead Motor (The Wildcat 410, designated as such for the 410 ft. lb. of Torque from the factory) Fresh Tune-Up with new Plugs, Wires, Cap, adjusted Timing and installed electronic timing, new hoses and belts, new filter. Power Steering Good Brakes, but this car did NOT come originally with power brakes. Go figure. You just push a little harder than modern cars. Excellent Tires Speed Buzzer that works! (I have it set on 100mph, and it works) Heater works Great (no a/c, wasn't an option) Nice Interior with New Dash This classic runs and drives great ALL DAY!!! Would make a very cool daily driver Lots of Attention You will be the 4th owner Clear New Mexico Title in Hand This car started it's life as a special order for a police department in Arizona. It was to compete against a Chevy and a Ford to determine a new squad car. It performed well in trials, but the Wildcat couldn't escape it's poor gas mileage. It was auctioned off, and a nice lady bought it and drove it for a long time, and eventually parked it under some trees on her land. Soon after, her next door neighbor rang the door bell and asked if he could buy it. You see, he had just received news that he had cancer. His doctor felt it would be good for his immune system if he were to find something that really needed cleaning, and then scrub it clean. The doctor wanted him to imagine his immune system cleaning the cancer away. He immediately thought of this old car with sap being dripped on it, and he made his offer. He went straight to work, and he scrubbed and he scrubbed, and eventually the cancer went away. Well, I don't know, but I bought the car from him, and I just couldn't shake his story. He seemed very sincere. I had spent a little time with him, and he was a normal, genuine man in his late 60's. I hated the idea of just painting over this car, but it needed something. I wanted something special for a special car. I felt that stripping this car down to the bare metal would pay homage to this unique classic, and pay homage to it's previous owners. Think about it. This is as original as it gets. This is as survivor as it gets. There is nothing hidden, nothing painted over. So I went to work taking this car down to it's bare metal. I created the exact look I wanted as I went. It has a nice pattern of swirls that only show in different lights. It looks incredible. It looks so much better in person. I can honestly say that. It took weeks, but somehow in all that hard work, I felt a sort of spiritual cleaning. The car seemed to draw me closer to God in some strange way. It was like God was sanding down the enamels in my life that were hiding problems. Maybe all that's a bunch of hog wash, but then again, maybe its not. I don't think this car healed that man, and I know it didn't heal me. But, it has given me reason to think that there is something very special about it. Something better. Something bigger. I haven't had this much fun driving a car in a very long time. It looks so good, and it drives so good. It is a solid car. It is quicker than most cars on the road, and I LIKE THAT! This car draws a lot of looks and a lot of attention. Be ready to show it at the gas station or wherever you take it. People just are drawn to it. They like it. The bare metal wows everybody. The comment that sticks out the most is, "THAT'S SICK MAN!" It is sick man. I'm kinda connected with this car now. Feel free to ask questions or whatever. You can even call me. (505) 259-1119 I can FaceTime or Skype you and show you the car. I'd be happy to do a walk around and start it up and burn YOUR rear tires off if you want. Whatever, I'm a car guy, and I like to talk about my cars. This is an old car. It is not fully restored. It has quirks, but they're not annoying quirks. It has a small leak. It has dents and rust spots. There's some sand marks on a few windows. They are very obvious in the pictures. It starts immediately, always has. Warms up immediately. Smokes the back tires. What more do you want? This is an underpriced, no reserve auction for a classic car. There are no warranties or returns. Ask you questions now. Talk to your boss now before you bid. |

2014 Buick Regal GS
Mon, 09 Sep 2013A few months ago I drove the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and wrote up a First Drive review of it. For all of my quibbles with that sedan (and I had a fair number), I understand that it speaks to the heart of what new Buick loyalists like in a car; it's roomy, has a cushy ride and is as placid as a summer's morning at highway speeds.
Those qualities, while undeniably desirable, don't mean a whole lot to me personally. I prefer sedans that conjure up words like "nimble," "punchy" or even "raucous" on occasion. So, directionally, the high-performance GS version of the 2014 Buick Regal is more my cup of tea than any other car in the company's current range.
In fact, I'd already come to know the Regal GS from its 2012 model year introduction, and grown more than a little fond of the sporting sedan in its original front-wheel-drive, six-speed-manual guise. The fast, sweet-handling car with well-sorted controls may have suffered from a slight identity crisis in terms of pricing (and may still), but it was undeniably fun to drive. So, when I heard that the GS was coming to market for 2014 with optional all-wheel drive (albeit only in combination with a six-speed automatic transmission), I was stoked to have another go and concentrated my driving impressions on the AWD car.

Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.
