    Trying to locate a solid, complete, running, driving 2 door 68 LeSabre, non vinyl top coupe. While I'm dreaming, I'll take it in Midnite blue with a light blue interior! Lol! Extra will be paid for this color combo!! Please email any info, finders fee of $500 dollars if you land the "dream car" for me!! Still willing to look at others !! Will take light blue too..trying to stay in average price range, light project cars ok too! Thanks!


    After much education here, I have concluded that the car in this picture is indeed a 1968 Buick Lesabre! Thanks for the lessons, hopefully the corrected title will find me the car!

    Please educate me on the differences between the two? Lesabre vs wildcat...I'll admit, I'm new to your world!

    The wildcat shares SOME/MOST of the LeSabre styling, BUT it's longer in length & the nose is longer by three inches because the 430 is longer then the 350

    @Royal the 68 wildcat came with a 430 while the LeSabre came with a 350. The Electra shares the same frame as the wildcat but is a tad longer. The Electra also has a 430 and has a slightly plusher interior. FYI the 67s are fairly similar. The grill and taillight are a bit different and the interior dash is different. Lastly the Riviera is a bit different but it has a lot of the same feel. You need to give folks some thoughts on a price point and condition. You don't need to provide your personal email. The board has a private message function.

    The Wildcat also has noticeably different trim including rear side marker lights

    Right. The front clip sheetmetal (with different trim details), frame and drivetrain are the same as the Electra. From the firewall back it’s the same metal as the leSabre.
