Vehicle Detail
Up for your consideration today is my 1962 Buick LeSabre 2 door sedan. This is a very rare car with total production figures of just 7418. This car has an actual 62,000 plus miles. Most were driven prior to 1985. There are no rust issues on this original car. Just road rash from gravel roads. No filler etc! This car is a true survivor! I bought this car from the original owner’s neighbors who’ve had it since 1985. This has always been a rural Nebraska car. Always garaged. Its been very well kept. The interior has to be seen to be believed! A seat cover protected the front seat from wear. I took it off and its perfect! Buick calls it a “Fawn” color. With the salt and pepper colored carpet. The carpet, dash, headliner, seats, door panels, rear package deck are in remarkable condition. On a scale of 1 to 10 the interior is a true 10! The engine a 401 2 barrell V8, Wild cat 375. This engine is a special order, no cost option in 1962. The "Wild Cat 375" represents the torque rating. It was an engine that didn’t require premium fuel. It has the 2 speed automatic Turbine Drive. The engine compartment is original and could use some detailing. Mechanically I have performed the following: New tires, battery, also new wheel cylinders with brake hoses,rear shoes, plugs, wires, cap, rotor. The timing and points all set to almost perfection. You will be amazed how well this car runs and drives. Very solid, tight, and quiet.The car is a "Plain Jane"! It does not have power steering or brakes. No radio, clock, air conditioning. Those post cars were price leaders or basic factory sleepers! This one is kind of both! It will run when you get her rolling. I have also hired a body shop to perform a clay bar, buff and polish. The paint is factory lacquer and the shine is still very good. Upon real close inspection in the right lighting conditions you can see lacquer imperfections. The passenger fender looks to have had paint work years ago. But still is a very nice car. The designated Buick color is called Desert Sand. This car still has 3 of the original T-3 Head lights in her. The chrome is outstanding, glass is very good. all the stainless on the car is perfect. The bumpers are beautiful. The rear lights and housings are excellent as well as the head lights and grill areas. Areas of attention: Small leak (red) on garage floor after it sits a while. Also a very small lifter tick too, once it warms up its gone. The ignition switch dosent go into lock position. Chips, nicks and scratches. Dont let this scare you. This is ONE NICE CAR! But, its 50 years old. These are no big deals, but my feedback is perfect and I want there to be no surprises. If you want a rare, very nice, post car thats cannot be duplicated, then this is the car for you. You are welcome to come see the car or have some one you trust look at it for you.............. Please have this done prior to the auctions end..... The car is sold as is and I am possession of its title. Also have funds available prior to bidding. ****0 Feedback, negative feed back or out of the country members must contact me first before bidding.***** I love to talk cars…but please…be serious, qualified and able to buy if interested in bidding. I have a Nebraska Dealers license. This car is one of personal collection cars. Winter starage is an issue for me. This is the reason for selling. I am a short distance off I-80 in Omaha Ne. I will assist in loading the car with a trucking company at the winning bidder’s expense. You will love this car as I did when I first seen it. Bidders that like to retract their bids...go on to the next car. Questions?
