1978 Buick LeSabre

Description

A numbers-matching V8 power under the hood, the best features, and long-term care all come together on this 1978 Buick LeSabre. It makes for a distinctive and detail-oriented classic offered for quite a nice price.

This coupe is a bygone era of long and stylish American two-doors. The white paint has a good gloss you want to give the right tone to a well-kept classic. This one is coming off over 20 years of long-term ownership. The glossy white is nicely contrasted with a well-done half-vinyl roof and a pinstripe done in a distinguished burgundy. It gives this LeSabre Custom an upper-class style. As you look through this one inside and out, there's a preserved spirit where any investments were about keeping a stock style to go with the rest of the well-preserved factory elements. You see it in the crisp sheet metal, bright chrome bumpers, clear/clean glass, and Buick Rallye wheels. It delivers a sharp-looking true vintage American coupe.

The red interior is a proper exercise in vintage elegance. It starts with the seats that have a bright color and a comfy pillow-top velour. There's darker red piping here that's also seen on places like the dash and steering wheel. And as you look over the door panels, carpeting, headliner, and all the details, you soon see that it's all thoughtfully coordinated. Because this is a full-size coupe, you've got room to bring up to five family and friends with ease. Or you can fold the middle armrest to give you a more individual luxury experience. No matter how many people are along for the ride, they will all do it in comfort. This came loaded from the factory with features such as a tilt steering column, AM/FM stereo, and air conditioning (now blowing cold with modern R134a.) We loved the preserved style with the smooth wood-like trim on the dash, classic floor mats, working clock, and a full lighting package that greets you when the door opens. The only addition you'll likely spot is the auxiliary gauge trio under the dah. It has a nice bright panel to go with the silver background factory readouts, and it also reminds you that this classic was made to be a true cruiser.

Under the hood is the 301 cubic-inch motor. It has such a stock and well-preserved presentation that it makes for a great way to show the numbers-matching motor. It's a torque-filled setup that loves to run and moves this classic coupe with the right swiftness. More of this Buick's excellent cruising capabilities come with features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and Buick's legendary supple ride.

Complete with service manuals, you rarely find a classic that looks this good that's also this affordable. That's why we know you will need to act fast to take this LeSabre coupe home. Call now!
