Vehicle Detail

PLEASE scroll down and read this entire description. No time for a project? Get in this Buick and DRIVE. We are the 4th owners! Built in Flint, Michigan. See the firewall code decipher below. Up for auction, This super-reliable classic cruiser that took us safely and comfortably on Route 66 from Chicago to LA in 2014, without a single issue. It rides like a living room and runs like a locomotive. Its got some real nice touches to make it unique and enjoyable including some sweet custom pin striping by the master Ron Myers, applied at the Stray Kat 500 car show en route to Arizona in 2014. I've added some improvements for driving comfort and safety, but its mostly stock, without body modifications.This is a numbers matching car, with 92,000 original miles on the chassis and appx. 35,000 on the total professional rebuild of the original 401 Nailhead engine. Triple SunPro gauges - Oil, water and volts, though all of the idiot lights work. Repainted the original color scheme (Bronze Mist / Arctic White), and has has Buick Wildcat bucket seats and console with Buick Factory tachometer (it works) installed. Interior is XLNT. Back up lights work, Speed-Minder works, all interior lights work, needs a heater core, the original one finally died. Minimal rust in front splash aprons - email for images. Floors, trunk, tank, rocker panels, doors, fuel tank, frame are SOLID. I've installed power disk brakes ( all new parts from Booster Dewey, Scarebird, NAPA) on the front, new Moog front springs (with a single coil removed to lower the stance slightly), new rear brakes, upper and lower ball joints and new Gabriel shocks all around. The car has power steering, dual exhaust, tilt-wheel, excellent factory green-tinted glass and xlnt chrome. Its had a Buick factory 4 barrel manifold installed with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and an Edelbrock electronic ignition module in the distributor. Brand new Harrison ($400+) three-row radiator, hoses, belts, FlowKooler water pump ($135) and NAPA thermostat, shroud and 5 blade clutch fan so runs COOL in the summer even driving up long pulls in the mountains. As stated, super reliable and runs great. Uses no oil between changes.Buick Road Wheels and excellent quality whitewall radials installed, brand new radial spare in the trunk. Original jack and lug wrench. Original factory owners manual and the pair of big, thick original, not reproduction, 1963 Buick service manuals are included. Just under 28,000 2 door sport coupes were built in 1963, making this a fairly scarce car, and a pretty damned nice two-door hardtop for the $$. If you'd rather pay three times the money for a base Impala in similar condition, knock yourself right out! Everybody and their sister is driving a Chevy. The Buick is a better car, and FAR more scarce. We've been driving this car for four years, to lots of car shows, and have yet to see another two door sport coupe. I have classified ads running on several websites: The H.A.M.B., V8Buick, etc. The gentleman who restored the car contacted me. He bought it about 10 years ago from the original, elderly owners in Ames, IA. It was a solid car and he repainted it due to a chemical stain on the hood. He spent well over $4000 on rebuilding the original engine and he added a Buick 4 barrel manifold and new Edelbrock carb. He installed the professionally reupholstered Wildcat interior including the bucket seats, console with tach and steering column to make it a professional job. The interior is XLNT. The top-quality engine rebuild, interior and paint job would cost you more than the opening bid for this car. Firewall tag info:01AStyle 63-4447 FB 2622 BodyTrim 432 SC1 * PaintAcc.

It's not a concours show car. Its got small scratches and blemishes in the paint, a small ding in the front bumper, the LHS rear bumper end needs slight adjustment. It drips slightly from the rear diff input shaft seal. There's minimal rust in the front pinch welds behind the front LHS wheel well. The turn signal switch in the steering column needs adjustment. The paint on the RHS roof has some freckling due to improper paint prep. That said, its a helluva nice, super straight driver and garage-kept in Cottonwood Arizona between Sedona and Prescott. This '63 LeSabre is sold as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed nor implied. Its a 54+ year-old car and runs GREAT. Fly into PHX and drive it home no problem. I'll pick you up at the airport. Or I will work with your transporter to get the car safely loaded and on its way. Feel free to contact me with any questions. An in-person inspection and trip to a mechanic of your choice is welcomed and encouraged. This car is as straight as it looks.Check my lifetime 100% feedback and bid with confidence!Thank you for looking. Better Buy Buick!
