1975 Buick LeSabre Custom convertible. Brief history; Bought new by my in-laws on April 8, 1975 in Province of Alberta, Canada for the sum of 5,656.00 CD. (bill of sale from the dealer, and bank regarding satisfaction of Chattel Mortgage are included, along with other docs; Owner's Manual, Warranty Card, Accessory pamphlet, Color stub., other) Used sporadically and given to me in 1985. with then mileage of 33+Kmiles. Next, I drove it to LA, California ( a distance of over 1300 miles) where I used rarely till 2006. Next I drove it to Florida where I don't use it at all. Following are modifications performed in California, not necessarily in chronological order; 1. Rear main engine seal replaced. The original was dry and leaked some oil in my garage. 2. New Midas muffler installed 3. New tires fitted 4. All oils and fluids changed including differential. 5 New Holly carb installed. Original Rochester Quadrajet, although fully functional, could not be adjusted to satisfy California emissions control. 6. New top installed as the original black color top turned to the undescript after 5 years under California sun. 7. New Glove Compartment installed. 8. All rubber gaskets for windows, doors, trunk, and windshield were replaced. 9. Large volume electric fan with thermostat was installed for no technical reason. 10. New break pads installed 11. MSD ignition system was installed to help pollution control. Modifications made in Florida; 1. New Wal-Mart Battery installed ( 11/15/2013) 2. Top motor and relay replaced. 3. New break lines, master cylinder and oversized buster installed.

Specific for this vehicle. This car has the original "no radio" dashboard, but I have NOS board with radio cut-out from American made Buick as I planned to add radio, but I couldn't find suitable original 1975 Buick unit for this car.. That dashboard is included with this car for the winner at no extra charge. The new top motor opens the top very fast, but closes it slowly. It looks like it could use adjustment by qualified mechanic. There is a small seam open on the driver's seat that needs to be re-stitched. The car drives excellent, and produces soft and comfortable ride. In my experience it gets 20 MPG on the open road, and approx. 15 in town. It is mostly due to the "Cadillac type" tires that are 12% oversized It is 6 pass car, and it has 6 seat belt sets. 1975 was the first year of NO Lead gas and so it is inscribed in English and French at the fuel cap. Since it became antique car there are no pollution controls required and original the catalytic converted was removed and replaced with a pipe.

It worked fine, but recently while replacing Vacuum Buster mechanic inadvertently pulled its wire from the fuse box located under the dashboard so it doesn't work.
