1961 Buick LeSabre

1961 Buick LeSabre 4-Door Bubbletop
364cubic inch Wildcat �Nail-head� V8
Shockwave Air Suspension up front w/ bags in rear. Dual 12-15Amp compressors with valves wired to four 2-way switches. Each bag controlled independently.
Engine runs beautifully.

Interior:
All original. Gobs of space for small parties or office meetings. Seats need redone but have �Indian" blankets covering them now. Original AM radio was inspected, repaired and cleaned to factory condition 2 years ago by an FCC licensed radio guy in Arizona. I installed a new-in-box 1970s-80s era FM radio tuner so you can get TV and FM bands.

Exterior:
This car solid 50 year old car is never been wrecked. No dents or dings. This car was probably built from scrap metal from Sherman tanks and B-24 Liberator bombers. Think of how many Priuses and Civics you could plow through unscathed. Is currently in white primer. Chrome is all original and looks good. A couple small trim pieces on the trunk lid need re-plated. I added fender skirts. Carburetor and intake rebuilt and gone through this past summer. Drive shaft rebuilt and modified by Charlie Patterson. New 65Amp alternator. I have original (rebuilt) generator.

Modifications/Repairs:
2005-2006(?)- Air ride installed.
2009- New 160 degree thermostat installed.
2010- New ignition coil. Pertronix Ignitor II kit installed. New driveshaft with new joints, slip yoke and built to accommodate 1958-1964 Chevy center support instead of more expensive Buick ones. Remember, Shermans and Liberators! New pinion seal. 65Amp alternator installed w/ fabricated brackets and 1-wire conversion.
2011- Carburetor rebuild and intake manifold plate repaired.

Bummers:
Windshield wiper motor will need rebuilt, I believe. It use to work fine but now is hit or miss.
Some re-chrome work on trunk lid piece and small rear quarter pieces.
Door window chrome channel pieces are ok but recommend replacing/re-chroming.
Seats need recovered. Dash pad cracked, needs re-done.
