The daily 93 lesabre

[NCTyphoonKid]

This is my daily driver that I got from my grandma been in the family since new had 112k on it when I got it has 118k now. Its pretty much an all original lesabre 90th anniv. the original headliner started to sag so I recovered the headliner and visors myself with some black headliner material from hancock fabrics. The white walls also were looking really dated and started dryrotting really bad so I bought some Booneville lace wheels that were gray but now there black just painted them yesterday.

2015 Regal Turbo. At 87, she is the fastest greatgrandma in her Sunday School class.

Her 94 has 99,8XX miles and I thought she would want to keep it for bad weather runs to town ect but she let me know she is driving her new car and for me to take the old one home with me! No pics of the 94 right now.

Nice those regals look really nice haven't driven one though but I like my lesabre I need to change the trans fluid and filter it slips sometimes but not all the time.

I was surprised at the smoothness and power of the turbo in a vehicle the size and weight of the Regal. Handling is excellent for its class too. Don't know why the pic of moms old car is upside down ??? Anyway, its strange but I like driving the 94 occasionally. None of my other vehicles can float like the LeSabre

Bonneville wheels look great, Buicks make great sleepers.

couple weeks ago I got a 99 Lesa for a daily driver/trip car as my teenager is 6ft tall. The back seat in the kia and jetta are awefully small.

the 205hp series 2 is a pleasant wake up. I once had a 110hp 231-2bbl in an apollo and a couple 160-170hp 3800's in various fwd cars...

This new 1.something litre turbo crap....even on the pipe it has no torque below 3000rpm - I shudder to think how long these things will NOT last nowadays. Just dont understand the direction GM is taking today - they were getting 30mpg+ from the 3.8L in the big cars so of course they scrapped it...

 

[f6john]

Yea, and the supercharged 3800's were a kick in the pants to drive too

 

[NCTyphoonKid]

I've often wondered how hard it would be to supercharge the lesabre I wouldn't think it would be to bad

 

[f6john]

Not hard at all, friend of mine put one in a Fiero.

 

[NCTyphoonKid]

Yeah I've considered doing a series 2 in my fiero with a 5 speed I don't think the 4 speed I have in it now would hold up though

Buicks are badass!

Color change or just fixing issues with oxidation?
