Detroit's answer to the SEC

Quote:
1986 Buick LeSabre Grand National

This is a rare & not well known Buick performance car, a limited production (117 produced). Not many even exist today.This car has only 16,300 miles & is documented. Car looks new & is in excellent original condition. A true investment grade vehicle, this black LGN is a rare gem. Around 1986, the Regal was replaced by the LeSabre in NASCAR racing. The Regal dominated the market in 81 and 82. When Chevrolet & Ford brought out the Monte Carlo SS & the new Thunderbird, Buick lost advantage in the market. In 86, the LeSabre was downsized, produced with FWD & became the new racing body. Olds did a simliar thing by replacing the Cutlass with the Delta 88. Many people confuse the LGN with the 1986 Century GA which was a similar looking car based on the FWD Century. This is definitely a 1 of a kind car for the serious collector. Exterior is black and is in excellent condition. In show condition, this car is fully loaded. Engine is the original V6 with automatic transmission. Located in SC.

$21995 o.b.o.

Rare, yes. Desireable, no. For $22k, you get a Buick coupe with a V6, an auto, and velour interior. No thanks.

If that car is the answer, it must have been a strange question.

Yeah, I guess some things are rare for a good reason . . . .

Ugly grill and an interior that would make a UNIMOG look colorful.......

my brother had one of those.wife parked it in the garage and about half hour later he smelled smoke.looked in the garage and it was filled with smoke .called fire dept they show up and evidently something shorted out in the main power box right behind the battery,and melted the hood release cable so they couldn't open the hood.also melted the shift cable as they couldn't get it out of gear.ended up using the fire truck to drag it out of the garage to keep from burning the house down.the one thing i liked about the car is it had crank windows.

I guess there are some questions that need not be asked, much less answered.

All I ever learned is that "42" is the answer. I'm still waiting for the question.

Jim Bs clean 91 560SEC is worth 22k IMHO. Not this. Not even close.






Jims SEC is immaculate. Its super clean, and the owner cares ALOT about the car.





Theres only currently one problem with it...


The nut behind the wheel is a little loose, and needs to be tightened....
