62 LeSabre

Here is my 1962 Buick LeSabre. It has 51K original miles. It has a 401 Nailhead. I have added Jamco springs and shocks and Billet Specialties High Boy wheels.

 

Looks sweet Woody, nice cruiser!!!! I love the roof lines.

 

Looks great Woody! It is great to see more 62's around here. :TU:

 

Great stance, very clean 62 I want one...

 

Thats an awesome 62! I just bought one and I am hoping you might be able let me know what the rim size and offset is so I dont make any mistakes ray: in ordering some boss 338's for mine. This is my first buick and i'm pumped. Thanks!

 

If you search back thru his previous posts, I know he's posted it before, cause I asked! :grin:

Welcome aboard :beer !

 

Thanks for the compliments! The front wheels are 18x8 with a 4.75 backspace. The rear wheels are 20x10 with a 5.5 backspace. I don't remember the front tire size but I'm thinking it ias 225/40/18. The rear tire size is 275/35/20. The rear clearance is so close! You may want to go with a 20x8.5 in the back. The Buick's have a large center bore of 88mm. Check to see if the Boss wheels can accomodate that.

 

I love these early 60's buicks, yours is lowered the perfect amount.

 

Thank you!

 

Thanks woody I will do that!

 

Woody, It looks great, I love the stance you created, the wheels are fantastic. My is two tone sports coupe :beer

 

My LeSabre is two tone as well!

 

Looks awesome Woody!

 

Ok Woody and Louie,

Should this 60k mile Invicta be lowered with wheels or left alone?

 

I'd have to vote yes, beautiful car by the way! :TU:

 

Thanks Andy, I should have it home soon!

 

Looks Good As Is Chris.:tu:

 

Thanks John. Got it home last night and drove to work today. Runs good, but the damn speed alert is stuck at 60, that buzzing sound is annoying, going to have to unhook that asap!

 

Chris, bag it and some nice 5 spoke rims and with top down, should look bitchin'

 

Thanks for the advice Lou, I may lower it, but not bag it, I already have one like that. I would want to keep the dollars spent lower. Have a local guy who says he wants to buy it, only needs to come up with the money, lol.
