-Hey guys! I'm a Buick Noob and I've just recently acquired a 1964 Buick LeSabre 2dr Hardtop. I'm hoping to get her back on the road soon. It's pretty solid (besides the swiss cheese hood) and runs great. Below are a few photos. -The first thing I'll be working on is the Disk Brakes upgrade. Then, I will be moving onto the weatherstripping and eventually bodywork. Is there anything I should do/check out before I take it out on the road? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -I was hoping to find help identifying the engine. It seems to be a 1972 Buick 350 (5.7) according to this site: https://www.teambuick.com/reference/casting_numbers_small_block.php -Also, what models share body parts (such as the hood) with the 1964 LeSabre?

WELCOME! Looks like a fun project... I'll let others more knowledgeable than I answer your questions as I only know enough about 1970 GS's and 1971 Skylark's to be dangerous; but I am looking forward to moving to Miami this fall. -MIG
Thanks Guys! Bad Boattail - I checked between the 1 and 3 spark plugs and found, what appears to be an "SO" and "I33". I looked it up and found that the "SO" means that it is a 1970 Buick 350. Is there a significant difference between the Buick 350 from 1970 and 1972? flynbuick - I will keep that in mind when looking for a hood. Michael_G - Nice! Make sure to bring your winter coats. Our week-long winters are almost unbearable! It sometimes gets all the way down to the mid 50's! 20190724_183743 by aCOCO posted Jul 26, 2019 at 11:05 AM
That’s gonna be a nice project. Since nice and aggressive already with the low stance and fat meats!
