    No time for a project? Get in this Buick and DRIVE. I am the 4th owner!
    Sad to part with this '63 two door hardtop Buick LeSabre. This is a super reliable cruiser that took us safely and comfortably on the whole length of Route 66 from Chicago to LA in 2014, without a single hiccup. 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 en route to Arizona in 2014. I've added some improvements for driving comfort and safety, but its mostly stock, without body modifications. It is a numbers matching car, with 92,000 original miles on the chassis and appx. 35,000 on the total professional rebuild of the venerable 401 Nailhead engine. Triple SunPro gauges - Oil, water and volts, though all of the idiot lights work. Repainted the original color scheme, and has Buick Wildcat bucket seats and console with Buick Factory tachometer (it works). Interior is XLNT. Back up lights work, Speed-Minder works, all interior lights work, needs a heater core, original one finally died. I've installed power disk brakes (Booster Dewey /Scarebird) on the front, new springs (with a single coil removed to lower the stance slightly), new rear brakes, upper and lower ball joints and new shocks all around. The car has power steering, dual exhaust, 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) radiator, hoses, belts, FlowKooler water pump 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 zero oil. Buick Road Wheels and excellent whitewall radials installed, brand new radial spare in the trunk. Original jack and lug wrench. I've got the original factory owners manual and the pair of big, thick Buick service manuals for it.

    Got contacted over on the V8Buick page by the gent who built this car! Very cool to get lineage info!
    Post Number 1:
    Can I ask where the car came from?
    It looks identical to the one I built 8-9 years ago. The car originally came with a bench seat, and when I had interior redone, I had the wildcat buckets upholstered to match so as to have the option of how to set it up. The buckets won. The inserts for the seats, I ordered special for the car and the upholsterer installed it for me.
    I also did a full rebuild on the 401 [top] to bottom and added the 4 barrel intake with the edlebrock carb.
    I bought the car from an elderly couple in Ames Iowa and it was all original and rust free. It needed some paint work due to a spot on the hood where something had dripped on it and left a spot.
    Great car that is solid and drove well.

    Post Number 2:
    I can confirm, the engine was new, top to bottom, I don't do half assed when it comes to engine rebuilds on these cars, and it really ran great. The shop I use for engine rebuilds has built 5-6 nailheads for me and know what they are doing. That rebuild was well over $4000 back then. It also has 35k more miles and 8-9 years on it than when I had it, so I can't confirm how it was taken care of, or what was or has been done to it. I know Matt drove it quite a bit and did like the car
    The radiator shroud was standard for the non AC version , hence the tiny top over the fan shroud
    All the receipts went to PO when he bought it.
    I had seen it at the dealer in WI, and had called and was in the process of getting a car ready for the trip up to trade for the 63, when they called to say it was sold. :-(
    Who ever buys the car really is getting a solid nice old 63 that was a pleasure to drive. I am glad you have enjoyed it.





    That makes me the 4th owner in 54 years. You're next. Reasonable offers considered.
