although i retired from ford motor co. 1/1/07 and have 2 76 tbirds, i am a convertible person. when a friend of mine told me about a 75 buick convertible for sale, i decided to look at it. wow, a very nice car, and the price was right.it is an original classic, 99% original with 42,000 k. it needed a few things to make it an award winning classic. i needed to replace the buick rims, rear body filler, which i bought on ebay. this year i have replaced the headlight bezels, tail light chrome and last week i bought a pair if outside mirrors. mine were all pitted. 350, auto with air. am/fm/8 track (still works). i added a cd player in the trunk and new speakers. it also has the parade boot. really a very nice car.

The front clip on your Lesabre looks reminiscent of the 1970 Cadillac that Boss Hog drove in the Dukes Of Hazard. My grandmother use to own one before I sold it for her on Ebay.

1970 Caddy, sold on Ebay in 2001, for $4,800 USD to Hue Jorgen in Gothberg Sweden. The shipping cost him $1,800 USD to ship internationally to Gothberg VIA truck, and container ship. It was a good learning experience for me also! I don't have a listing number for you anymore, or I would post it so you could view the auction!
