VERY RARE! 1965 BUICK LESABRE 400 WITH BUCKET SEATS, CONSOLE & 375 WILDCAT ENGINE (300ci 4bbl). RECENTLY RESCUED FROM LONG TIME STORAGE IN A N.W. ILLINOIS BARN. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN REGISTERED SINCE 1992. BUT HAD BEEN OCCASIONALLY STARTED & MOVED AROUND THE BARN. COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL & PROTECT-O-PLATE. AFTER HAVING THIS CAR TRANSPORTED HOME. I PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. CHANGED THE OIL & ANTIFREEZE. THEN CHANGED THE PLUGS, CAP, ROTOR, WIRES, FUEL & AIR FILTER. I ADDED 4 GALLONS OF FRESH 93 OCTANE GAS. THEN SPRAYED A LITTLE STARTING FLUID IN THE CARB & IT FIRED RIGHT UP! IT RUNS VERY WELL! THE ENGINE & QUIET & DOES NOT SMOKE AT ALL! I DROVE IT BRIEFLY AROUND MY SUB DIVISION. I THEN REALIZED THE BRAKES WERE GOING TO NEED SOME WORK. SO.. I GOT A NEW MASTER CYLINDER, 4 NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, BRAKE HOSES & CUT ALL 4 DRUMS. WHILE BLEEDING THE SYSTEM. A REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURED. SO I'M HAVING ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED 9/20/13. THE CAR IS VERY SOLID ALL AROUND. EXCEPT THE LOWER 1/4 PANELS HAVE HAD SOME PATCH WORK. SO THOSE AREAS WILL NEED A LITTLE METAL WORK. BUT IT'S AN EASY FIX FOR ANY DECENT BODY MAN. FLOOR PANS & FRAME ARE SOLID. THE PAINT IS GETTING DULL IN SOME AREAS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SURFACE RUST AREAS. BUT IT'S VERY PRESENTABLE AS IS. ALL OF THE CHROME & STAINLESS MOLDINGS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE REAR BUMPER DOES HAVE 2 RUST SPOTS ON EACH LOWER END. (SEE PICS) THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY NICE! NO RIPS OR TEARS. ORIGINAL RADIO HAD BEEN REMOVED AT SOME POINT. BUT IT'S IN THE TRUNK. I REMOVED THE PLAIN STEEL WHEELS & BIAS PLY TIRES. REPLACED THEM WITH A CLEAN SET OF CHROME BUICK ROAD WHEELS WITH GOOD TIRES. THIS IS A VERY RARE & SHARP CAR. IT WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH AT ALL TO MAKE IT A DAILY DRIVER IF WANTED. DRIVE IT AS IS OR REPAINT IT TO MAKE A TRULY OUTSTANDING CAR. I'M GETTING MARRIED LATER THIS YEAR & IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A NEW HOUSE. SO MY TIME & MONEY IS LIMITED. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. ALL SERIOUS & REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER. MORE PHOTOS CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO SERIOUS BUYERS.
