1960 Buick LeSabre
1960 Buick LeSabre Description:
This would look great under the tree! But you'd better have a big living room! Here we have a wonderful 1960 Buick LeSabre 4 door flat top in amazing condition with 51,000 original miles on her. She rolled off the Wilmington DE line in June of 1960. Striking Chalet Blue and Arctic White color combo. I bought this car over the summer and put a great deal into her. The only reason I even considering parting with this beauty is another car has caught my eye. Mechanically i put a whole new brake system on her, lines, rebuilt booster the whole ball of wax. Had the carb cleaned and rebuilt. Incredibly solid and no evidence of rot anywhere on the car. Paint is shiny and very presentable. Five new coker radial/bias look tires. The mighty 364 starts right up with a few pumps everytime.I put a new carpet in her but not to crazy about how it fit so I had plans to get another one and never did. It might look OK to the next owner. I am very fussy. Didn't put the seatbelts back in her because of this. BTW she comes with a set of airplane style seatbelts that match her interior. Her seats were redone by a former owner and it looks like they resprayed the interior door panels and some interior trim. Looks good, but I would detail it more.The engine runs like a top and is nicely detailed the underneath is clean and rust free and almost as nice as the outside of the car
Only issues I know of are minor. The cars wipers work whenever she wants them to, probably a loose switch but I haven't investigated. The fuel gauge seems to work sometimes and other times not. She has a very very slight coolant leak dripping from the crossmember. I am talking a teaspoonful after sitting for two months. Not sure where it is coming from but will investigate when I go back to the storage garage where I keep her. Clock doesn't work. That is it!
She comes with Manuals, a spare radio with good buttons, a replacement reverse lens.
I would consider this car a beautiful driver and then some. As I write this ad I am extremely reluctant to part with her, but I am smitten with this other car I have my eye on.
I have described this car honestly and to the best of my ability. I have 100% feedback and want to keep it that way. I ask that you please study photos and ask questions before bidding. Car is sold As-Is.
Happy Holidays!!!

Forgot to mention, the vent windows are not working.
Had some good questions. Are the miles documented? I bought it from a reputable Ebay dealer who sold it to me as original miles this past May. I would have a hard time arguing it as the condition is too nice for a car with 150,000 miles on it. The guy I bought it from said it came from an estate where the gentleman would only buy low mileage cars. Does it leak oil? Anyone who has an old car knows that all old cars drip. These cars always leak a little at the end of the torque tube. This one does but very little. This can be corrected with driving it more. The only other leak is that small coolant leak and that is all. How is the paint? The car has a shiny older paint job. It presents very well. The front clip has a little texture to it and it almost looks original. I did notice one small run on the door in the white, but you have to lay on your back to see it. The deck lid had a quarter size discoloration in it that might buff out. Looks like a water spot. there are a few minor bubbles along the drip rail but not really noticeable unless you look for them. . It is really really a nice nice car. BTW I have some weatherstripping for the roof line I will include. I have nothing to hide and will answer all questions to the best of my ability!
