Firstly, the car is a 77.5K original mile California Car. I bought it from the second owner in Arizona. The car was optioned out and was meticulously garaged and cared for by both owners. The car runs and looks great! It’s 300 miles into it's rebuilt original 401 cu. in. 6.6L V8 produces 280 hp. Drives better than a '63 Caddy and or Oldsmobile AND really rare and cooler. Great native survivor. Original options include the rare magnum style factory wheels which absolutely make the car. I was told only 260 '63 LeSabres were optioned with these wheels. I bring it to Coffee and Cars in Palos Verdes and it gathers nearly as many people and photographers as $1 Million+ Gullwing Mercedes and the other poster cars there. Many are excited to see a LeSabre convertible for the first time or get to see a great example again since childhood. The brakes, steering, motor, are all in top notch condition. I live in the hills and need those things to be perfect with two little kid passengers. The upholestry and convertible top are 3 months old and perfect! The dash pad has even been redone too! The chrome on the car is bright near perfect original. Best of all is the paint is high quality PPG and 3 months old and perfect! There isn't a blemish on the paint. I can't find a bit of rust. There are no swirls, chips, pits, bubbles, cracks, runs or anything wrong with the exterior paint. Everything works except the radio. The power new power antenna was never hooked up. Even the clock works! Overall I'd give the car a 9 out of 10. Please feel free to contact to schedule a test drive. I reserve the right to end the option at any time as the car is advertised elsewhere and I have friends trying to trade cars for it. The car is part of a larger collection kept at the Torrance airport most of the year. I have had my fun and now it is time to thin the herd and rotate the collection. This has been fun to cruise to Hollywood, car shows and pick the kids up from school. I am willing to lose some of my restoration costs knowing I had my fun and the car will live on another 50 years. Good luck bidding.
Here's a small Youtube video I took near my house showing how smoothly and quietly the car climbs the hills and handles corners: http://youtu.be/Grm858azkQw

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.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
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.
