Buick LeSabre Concept Car, It Runs and Drives!

This is video I took at the 2007 Buick Club of America National Meet hosted by the North Cascades Chapter in Bellevue, Wa at the Hilton. This car I believe is powered by a 215cid Aluminum Block V8, supercharged, and formerly Alcohol injected. This car is very temperamental to start after sitting for 3+ days. The "thump, whack, tap, or click" noise you hear is the driver pumping the throttle. This car was among other members of the GM Heritage Collection: Probably the most famous, the Y-Job, Blackhawk, SilverArrowIII, a 1939 Buick Limousine, a 1964 Buick Electra 225 cvt, a Nickel car, and two brass cars.

y is so hard to turn on it?

[alexpfaff]

It had been sitting there all week. Plus like the Buicks that I've owned, it's a little cold blooded

[alexpfaff]

not rare, the only one ;)

Can't this car run on alcohol as well? This has the automatic power top doesn't it? Does that feature still work?

[alexpfaff]

I know it used to be able to run on alcohol, I heard they don't do the alcohol injection anymore. I know it did have the automatic power top, but I didn't know that at the National, so I didn't think to ask if it is still operable.

wel today US concept cars are mutch more disign than lets say the US production cars. Cars from the Us are so Japanese looking its terreble to see. I hope that Detroid wil build American cars like they had in the 60s & 70s

@nes1914 ...this car is practically priceless. It could easily fetch many millions in any auction. GM has vowed they will never sell it.

You guys should look up the Zil 112. It was the Soviet Unions attempt at this car....

I was the proud owner of a 1972 Buick LeSabre which I bought new in Wessington Springs SD in the Fall of 1972 for $3800.00. What a deal. What a car. We drove 110,000 on this machine and sold it in Gettysurg SD in about 1982. Wish I had it to restore, my dream I guess! Jim

@DeLorean4 They would taken that 2001 Buick they got from the 21st century and stored it away in the back room and piled old Boxes on top of it and left it there shaking their heads saying what whent wrong.

Someone don't know how to start old iron. Before you even get in the car start floppin the foot feed, pump that bitch a dozen times or so then leave the throttle up and let the choke close. flopflopflopflopflopflopflopfl­opflopflopflop, then let up off it. Man that's a beauty, Harley musta been a fan of boattails. His stuff really stands the test of time compared to some shit you'd see back then, it coulda been produced had they wanted, it wasn't some bubble topped toy with fins juttin out.

If this car didnt move for week!

u had to start it for 3 minutes at least for the oil go inside the motor!

iam not expert but u should warm it up a little that makes the life of the engine longer!

Any way i had picture of this car year ago and now i found a video of it by luck and its the exact car , didnt had a wheel that almost run out of air?

i can remember the picture :-) with Y-job and black hawk
