Ladies and Gentlemen—Convertible Lovers—LQQK!!—Just in time for spring/summer fun!!First Time Offered on Ebay—Rare Find—What an opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Buick convertible with a great history and documentation.!!It’s only original once!! Rarely do you find a low production original convertible with a slim chance of finding another one like it. Up for auction is a stunning 1968 Buick LeSabre 400 convertible with only 91k original miles. I purchased this car from an elderly couple in Southern Maryland who were in the process of moving and owned this car for more than 20 years. Upon arrival at their residence, it was obvious that this rare Buick had spent most of its time in a garage alongside the house. Here are just a few of its many options: *The 'LeSabre 400' option package included a 280 horsepower 350 four-barrel V8 with 10.25 to 1 compression and three speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission.*Power Windows (a must for a convertible), Power Top with boot (works great), Rear Mounted Electric Antenna (works great), Power Steering, Power Brakes, Original AM/FM stereo radio (great sound), 'Soft Ray" tinted glass (all windows), Dual Exhaust with Resonators, Air Conditioning, Full Front Floor Mat, Buick Custom Wheels, Remote Driver's Side Mirror, Full Size Spare-Bumper Jack/Tools, Spare Keys. The car runs and drives beautifully. Photos cannot capture the true beauty of this vintage Buick. The top is in excellent condition, no tears, works perfectly and comes with a custom boot. It has the original interior, original carpet, original door panels, original antenna, original tinted glass; just about all original. The floor pans, frame rails and trunk are in very good condition. The dash looks great with no cracks. The entire vehicle was inspected by a mechanic and all mechanical components were found to be in excellent condition. Both the brake system and carburetor were recently overhauled. It starts right up. There are no leaks and the engine does not smoke or burn any oil. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. In my opinion, this is a great survivor; a great car for the open road or even take it to the next level (show condition). When was the last time you saw one of these anywhere? It has a clear title. Please come see and drive it for yourself!! Additionally, this Buick has original documentation dating back many years. It includes: Original owner’s manual, GM folding top operation manual, 1968 Buick Owner Protection Plan, Buick shop manual. I believe the original build sheet is still under the backseat. . 1968 Buick LeSabre 400 convertibles are almost impossible to find these days, only 5,257 were built!! If you’ve been waiting for a one-of-a kind convertible to come along then don’t let this one get away; avoid disappointment and future regret. I’m not an expert on the value or condition of these vehicles, and therefore, my opinion of a vehicle may not be the same as yours. This car is not perfect and I don’t claim it to be. Even though I have included photos of the undercarriage, I suggest serious bidders come and examine this Pontiac, or have someone come and inspect it to make sure you know what you are bidding on before you bid. This is a 10 day auction which should allow bidders enough time to arrange for an inspection. Should you have any questions, call Bill @ 410-271-6800. VEHICLE TERMS: The car is sold AS-IS with no guarantee/warranty either expressed or implied. Successful bidder pays $1000 down payment (PayPal is preferred) for the vehicle within 48 hours of bid close and should make arrangements to pick up the car within 2 weeks of auction close. Seller releases all responsibility for the car upon receipt of payment from bidder. Buyer will assume all responsibility for said vehicle, including but not limited to liability. Seller has the right to end the auction at any time. On May-06-12 at 04:25:37 PDT, seller added the following information: NOTE: I've had a ton of emails asking me if this car is all original. There's no doubt that the interior is all original including the carpet. Both the interior and the carpet need a thorough cleaning. The carpet shows some signs of heel wear under the accelerator pedal but that's to be expected. According to the previous owner, the paint is the original color and it was repainted several years ago. What impressed me the most about this Buick is the dash is not cracked anywhere. The windows go up and down with ease. The convertible top goes up and down without missing a beat. It'is one of the best working tops I've seen in a long time. The rear mounted antenna goes up and down with ease and the radio sounds great. The previous owner also gave me a wide variety of parts that he had collected over the years and they will be included with the sale. Please keep in mind that I'm not an automotive expert nor an appraiser, but should you have any questions don't hesitate to call me at 410-271-6800--Good Luck in Bidding, Best Regards, Bill. On May-12-12 at 06:09:16 PDT, seller added the following information: NOTE: I've received a ton of emails asking me about the reserve price. The reserve price, in my opinion, is quite low for this rare and stunning convertible. Since I do not plan to relist the car on ebay, please keep in mind that this Buick will only go up in value as you ride around this spring with the top down. GOOD LUCK IN BIDDING!
