I haven't seen or heard about using a buick air box, but my guess would be that those used would come from the supercharged GM 3.8 engine, which would likely require the same amount of airflow having forced induction and greater displacement.

Edit: I thought you originally said LeBaron instead of LeSabre....they're both stupid names! Still, I would try and find the supercharged engine (Riviera?) airbox.
