1995 Buick LeSabre Custom
This is the page for my 1995 Buick LeSabre Custom. I had originally purchased the car from a friend of my parents for $2000 in August of 2002. The odometer was just a tick above 244,000 miles. This was the first car that was actually mine, because before buying this car, I would have to borrow my mom’s car anytime I needed to go somewhere. 2000 was the year I started college, and since I had to commute every day, my parents wanted something that was reliable and safe (I was just happy to have my own car). Over the years, I grew to really appreciate this car, and in 2004, I began modifying.
Once I started modifying the car, my goal became to make it unlike a normal LeSabre Custom – to make it stand out among all the other LeSabres by having a more ‘aggressive’ look (along the lines of a sport luxury vehicle). The car was purchased as a base model Custom, so I decided to convert a large part of its looks into a Limited, the higher LeSabre trim level.
Unfortunately, the fuel lines rotted away in March of 2011, and the car was parked because of that. I moved the car in December 2012 (after 7 months of sitting, it fired right up), but as I was coming down a hill, I blew a brake line. Now everything with the LeSabre is on hold until I can get those lines fixed (possibly Spring 2013). Then someday soon, I hope to finish the car in the way that I want too.
Below are a few pictures of when the LeSabre was in it’s prime:
That is when the car looked its best. Below are just a few select problems that are plaguing the car:
So, this is the unfortunate reality of the car right now. Time, age, and weather has really taken its toll. It will come back strong, however.
Anyway, check out each section under “Buick LeSabre” for information ranging from stock to all the different mods that I have done over the years.
