Not a truck, but an awesome GM find - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alan's Classic · 06-23-2008, 09:06 PM

I will understand if this post gets moved, but I had no idea where to post it and I had to share my experience since this is where I post all of the time.

I bought this all original (except for a rough paint job) 1964 Buick Lesabre with
with 74K miles. It has been kept inside all of it's life. The interior is almost perfect except for the carpet and driver seat bottom. Everything works, even the underdash Sears AC. It's a 3 spd on the tree and no radio. This car is cool. I actually have something to drive to the show now since all my other projects don't run. I planned on trying to sell it at the local show this past Saturday which is the day I bought it. My wife fell in love with it as well, so I didn't try to sell it yet. I drove it about 150 miles the first day and never missed a beat. The only thing I plan on doing is put seat belts in the back for the kids. That's it besides maintaining it.

Nice car!!

*1974k5blazer* · 06-23-2008, 09:35 PM

very clean!

greg64 · 06-23-2008, 10:27 PM

Great find, Alan! That interior looks mint. Gee I wish new cars had that kind of style. Aerodynamics ruined everything!

TimE · 06-23-2008, 10:54 PM

Now all you need is some Donks and you'll be set!

Just kidding.

That car doesn't look like it needs a thing. Very sharp ride!

**scotts62** · 06-23-2008, 10:58 PM

Cool nice find! very clean car

joe231 · 06-23-2008, 11:05 PM

very cool!

**ChiefRocka** · 06-23-2008, 11:25 PM

That thing is sweet....I love old GM 4-doors man...I would keep it, for sure.

A suspension lift with some 28" rims would be cool too.....

72freak · 06-24-2008, 07:52 AM

Very nice car!!!!!!

Those "for sale" cars at the Canton car show always seem to be priced way above reality so if you price it right it should move!

283 Man · 06-24-2008, 08:30 AM

thats showroom condition

sweet ride Alan

Joe67 · 06-24-2008, 08:43 AM

Great find! I'd roll that all summer long

jchav62 · 06-24-2008, 09:46 AM

Beautiful!!! Very clean ride...

Hoser's Girl · 06-24-2008, 10:15 AM

Sweet!

sdailey · 06-24-2008, 10:39 AM

Pictures don't do this car any justice. You really have to see it in person to appreciate the full beauty and style of this car. The best part is that it's all original.

You don't find them very often anymore in this condition.

I had the privilege of riding in it Saturday to the local car show and it rides like a dream.

AllenKarber · 06-24-2008, 08:15 PM

I would leave it just like it is!

billydonn · 06-24-2008, 09:05 PM

It must be the last Buick ever with a clutch! Wow.... very rare I would think.

fercho71 · 06-25-2008, 01:28 AM

thats a great looking car man sweeet

steverino66 · 06-25-2008, 05:24 PM

Way cool find.
My first car was a '67 LeSabre, same colors, maybe more of a teal interior, vinyl - bought it from my older brother and would have kept it if he didn't want it back so badly!

Phildooney · 06-26-2008, 12:05 PM

Nice. I think you've found a piece of treasure there Alan.

steverino66 · 06-26-2008, 03:49 PM

You didn't say what the '64 set you back, but here's a pretty cool 2-door '65 on eBay for comparison:

jeffspower · 06-27-2008, 12:05 AM

I'm a Buick nut. Now I'm a jealous Buick nut

Seems that there are quite a few Buick lovers on the board, more than any other brand of car IMO. Maybe we need a "got me a Buick" club

Iron-Butt · 06-27-2008, 06:14 PM

Wow, nice car

Jerry Jones · 06-27-2008, 06:30 PM

That is sweet!

Tomsriv · 06-29-2008, 01:08 PM

Cool car, you never see those! My other classic is a '71 Buick Riviera.
