1974 Buick LeSabre Luxus review from North America
"If it were a ship it would be a heavy cruiser."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Before I purchased the car witch had 247000 miles on it; the engine was rebuilt, the car was repainted, the vinyl top was replaced and the seats were recovered. The Transmission went out at about 249000 miles. The CV join at the rear of the drive-shaft was rebuilt at about 251000 miles. I replaced the water pump at 253000 miles.
General comments?
Tons of bottom-end torque and extremly comfortable to drive.
