What an absolute beauty! I remember those very well! That was built the year before I graduated from high school! An absolute dream classic! She is a beaut!
I went with my Grandmother to the local Buick dealer in 1976. She saw this exact same car spinning slowly in circles on the showroom floor. She said she had to have it. The only exception is that hers was dark red with a white landau roof. Nothing scarier than seeing 5 foot, 90 pound woman, who was half blind coming at you in a 6000 lb tank! She gave me that car when I turned 16. Could easily fit 10 of my buddies in her when we went cruising. Drove her until the doors fell off. Sad to see her go.
Definately, the last of the truly great GM's, definately for the (1976) Buick line-up. I'll vouch for the smoothness of the dependable and bullit-proof 350 V-8. I went to college with a friend who purchased a brand new 1976 Buick LeSabre 4 door HDTP. When it came time to check off the boxes, he went for the 350 because he was concerned about the MPG's. It ran like a dream and was whisper quiet. Hope this car finds a loving and caring new owner!
Sorry....thought were selling as a "dealer.". Take good care of that gorgeous dreamboat! I drive a #3 condition '72 Centurion coupe with a 455. You have to love these Buick's!
@@unclebob7937 To me, 'real' Buicks truly died when they discontinued the LeSabre and the Park Avenue....they don't make a damn thing today that appeals to me!

Thanks for sharing your memories and thanks for watching
Deuce and a quarter. Loved them.
Thank you very much so do I there's plenty of these videos on this channel
Wow, I drove off to play baseball in college in 1987 with one just like this only it was blue. Could fit six adults in quite easily.

@@stevenrich8468 I own four 76 Buicks. They are all on my TH-cam channel
One of the cars of my NYC childhood, the family had a 1972 Ford Gran Torino (4 door) and this monster dwarfed our car.
Thank you for watching and yes they are definitely big
Now that is class. Take good care of her
Thank you for watching I'll take better care of my Buicks than I do my own self 😅
Beautiful Car. Buick what happened? 😢
The 'real' Buicks died in the late 80's. Just like Olds and Pontiac. R I P to the great GM landyachts.
@@unclebob7937 I went to the NYC Auto Show in '78, I thought Detroit would make Land Yachts Forever. 🤣🤣🤣

The last of the big ones
Still my kind of Buick even now!
I agree thank you for watching
That's a very very hard car to find, but worth searching for.
Thank you she has been a very excellent car
Beautiful
Thanks for the kind words
IMO those are nicer looking than the Cadillac.
Have you needed to do anything with the bumper fillers?
I have replaced the bumper fillers on all my Electras
I believe you regarding smoothness. My dad bought a used 76 Lesabre with a 350, every time I stopped at a light I thought the damn thing stalled, LOL.
I agree I've actually turned the key trying to start it and it's already running 😅
What's the performance like compared to the 455?
Not much different at all until you go to pass a truck going 60 MPH. Lol
Just gorgeous and the 350 is a great engine - better than the 455.
Thank you and thank you for watching
Do you notice the lack of power compared to the others with the 455?
Only if trying to do high speed passing maneuvers at interstate speeds. Everywhere else, no
455
All my other 76 Electras have the standard 455. However, this is a special order 350 car
