If you're looking for a solid classic that's stylish, powerful and has a lot of history, who says you have to buy a cramped, high maintenance muscle car? This awesome LeSabre will look just as cool rolling down the road, turn just as many heads at the local drive in and, thanks to its thorough rebuild, provide you with miles of carefree cruising!

Few new-age Buick buyers would ever dream of their coveted tri-shield adorning an aggressive design like this. Fewer still would ever dream of accenting that aggressive design with a coat bright red basecoat. But that's exactly what a previous owner of this hardtop did. And today, thanks to good caretaking, the car's fade-free finish is a largely flaw-free celebration of bold American luxury.

When the 1960 LeSabre originally debuted a 364 cubic inch Nailhead was its only form of motivation. And this Buick's 1190415 branded, "3G" stamped Wildcat V8 is a date-correct way to transform a boulevard breeze into a tarmac tornado. At the top of that compact mill, a familiar Carter carburetor sucks wind through a traditional satin black, single-snorkel air cleaner. At the sides of that carburetor, factory heads hang stamped valve covers over deep breathing cast iron exhaust manifolds. Behind those manifolds, a GM points distributor shoots fire through simple black plug wires. And in front of those plug wires, a beefy aluminum radiator circulates coolant past two electric puller fans. In addition to its killer powerplant, this LeSabre maintains a clean engine bay that's complete with an old school generator, a retrofitted air conditioning system and hardware for era-correct power brakes and modern power steering.

Naturally the car's hot engine needs a great drivetrain for the sake of reliability, and GM's Turbine Drive 2-speed is sure to provide years of proven shifts. At the ends of that transmission, an original ball joint suspension, which includes coil springs at every corner, a track bar and a true balance stabilizer, combines with factory power steering and Buick's familiar Air-flo aluminum brakes to provide quick stops and great handling. And at the corners of the car's floors, power flows to the pavement through chrome Foose wheels that spin 245/40ZR18 Hankook Ventus V12 Evos in front of 275/40ZR20 Aurora RH08s.

Climb inside this timeless hardtop and you'll find a cozy leather interior that's both clean and appealing. Covered in solid tan surfaces, the car's rebuilt bench seats are firm, comfortable and provide spacious seating for at least five. In front of those seats, a sculpted dash hangs bright silver trim between correct Mirromagic gauges, a modern Kenwood CD player and controls for the aforementioned Vintage Air conditioning system. And in front of the driver, a painted tilt steering column spins a polished wheel around a billet shift lever and a super cool gear indicator.

If you're a fan of 60s Detroit class, it doesn't get any better than this cool old Buick! Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information.
