Description

Description:
For sale due to a change of project, splendid 1961 Buick LeSabre Convertible.

 A unique car, with a documented history and incredible appeal, already featured in a dedicated article in the well-known Italian magazine for American cars "Cruisin' (article available on request in .PDF format) and featured in the music video for the summer hit **"Mohicani" by Boomdabash and Baby K **a few years ago, with numerous close-up shots.

 

A rare opportunity for American classic car purists: the car presents its original factory-preserved paint in the splendid Metallescent Maroon shade and “Sand” interior, as per the VIN.

·          

·         Documentation: Italian documents in order, ready for transfer of ownership, ASI certification noted in the registration document, inspection OK.

·         Mechanics: Perfectly functioning. The legendary Dynaflow automatic transmission has just been completely restored by a specialist. The Carter four-barrel carburetor has been thoroughly overhauled using exclusively original components. Included in the price are four new shock absorbers, still packaged, only needing to be installed.

·         Interior: In perfect condition, splendid and completely faithful to the original (front seat padding redone)

·         Convertible top: The outer fabric, also original,  needs to be replaced, as do the side window seals  (these works have already been factored into the asking price)

·         Electrical System: All exterior lights  and the main accessories work well, but the overall system needs to be checked over, as some interior warning lights do not work, the fuel gauge and speedometer do not work (although the speedometer is also new, I believe the cable needs to be replaced). Heating system perfectly functional.

·         Braking system completely rebuilt, including all lines, power brake booster perfectly functional.

·         Accessories; power steering, power brakes, electric clock, power convertible top. Original Power Pac option, ordered from the factory by the first owner, which includes a four-barrel carburetor instead of a two-barrel carburetor (305 HP instead  of 250)

Solid, sound car, rust-free underbody, with an exceptional color combination and a splendid recent history in Italy. Price slightly negotiable after viewing. Drives with two fingers, exceptional comfort. No trades.
