1961 Buick Lesabre "Bubbletop" Awesome Rod...

[GM Engineer]

I am selling my 1961 Buick Lesabre "Bubbletop". You may have seen it a few months ago in Popular Hot Rodding... The car is a stunning example of an unrestored car, that has just the right attitude.

The car is quite uncommon to find, many Impala, or Bel-Air bubbletops are out there, but not so many Buicks, especially one as nice as this unrestored example. This car still sports its ORIGINAL Venice Blue Irridescent and Arctic White paint, interior, glass chrome etc etc...and still runs, great I might add, with its 364" nailhead and still on its original spark plug wires! (dated 2-Q-61). The car runs beautifully, the trim is near perfect, still has its original T-3 headlights. It has one of the nicest unrestored interiors you will find, right down to the carpet....I bought it with 46,200 miles, and now shows 49,015 original miles, no leaks, no drips. I also have a title from Ohio in 1987 when it had only 42,500 miles..less than 4500 miles in 20 years. 2 speed dynaflow works perfectly.If you are familier with old Buicks from 60-61, you know that this car has the "heads-up display" magic mirror dash, where the gauges reflect into an adjustable mirror...incredible for 1961. The car spent half its life in AZ and half in OH....never any rust...ever. The original paint is downright spectacular!

Now the good stuff...The old high altitude coil springs have been swapped out for new V3.0 Swivelhead Shockwave airbags in the front and 2600lb. Firestone air springs out back...2 Viar compressors and 2 discreetly mounted switches control the ride height, from way up...down to sitting on the ground. This system was all professionally installed, and if you know airride, you know this is not some cheapo system. The wheels are 18X8 and 20X9.5 Billet Specialties and the front disc brakes are C5 Corvette Z06 brakes. These, in addition to replaces the generator with an alternator are the only mods done to the car. You can even see the original paint stamps from the factory clear as a bell on the firewall "OK Options" and "Complete Electrical Wire Test"

I have had many cars in the past, Camaros etc.....but you pull in with this rig at a show, dump the bags and watch the crowd come a runnin'!

The car is really that nice...and even more unique. If you dare to be different..do it in this Buick. I more than welcome you to come and see it in person, you won't be disappointed.:TU:

Asking $37,500, Car is located in Michigan.
