1961 Buick LeSabre "Bubbletop"..***SOLD*** 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 spent 1/2 its life in AZ and 1/2 in Ohio...Never any rust...spectacular original paint. 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, 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 before I got it. 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. 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 gaurantee when you pull in with this rig at a show and dump the bags, the crowd will 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. I can honestly say that the car looks BETTER in person than in the pictures. Asking $33,500, Car is located in Michigan. I can be reached at jktrush@charter.net Thanks!:beers2:
Any interest in a trade for a 70k mile 55 Buick Century, Frame off gold concourse quality restoration?
I would pass on the Century:bla: ...but I have a 69 Skylark Stage 1 Conv. numbers matching I will trade:beer David Roth
Chris I thought the 55 was the first car you got that your wife liked and your already willing to trade it ? I probally would trade the wildcat for this bubble top too or at least my impala ss
You are right Roy, and I would have to clear any trade with her first, but that just shows you how much I like this 61! She did say that she liked it too, although I didn't ask her if she liked it more than the 55. Figure no sense in going there if there is no interest in a trade.:TU:
