We forget how beautiful and luxurious some of those 80’s GM cars were. My grandma drove a 1985 Oldsmobile 98 Regency. It was so quiet and smooth, like riding on a cloud, it had all the bells and whistles. I loved that car
The 1980s, to some, weren't a high point in American automotive engineering but compared to today's tin and plastic junk, they sure look good.
I'd love to take a cross country drive in this car. Love old Buicks. 😎✌
Yeah! We were Buick people. When I was a kid, we had a 79 and an 84 La Sabre: the last of the "pillow, floating" rides. Miss that feel. I'm trying to find a 79 La Sabre 2 door.... Hard to find in good condition, for the purpose you state. LOL! Nothing like a true freeway cruiser to relive some childhood memories.
I used to own an ‘89 Estate Wagon. Drove it up and down between New England and Florida once. Like riding on a cloud. Miss that car! Florida sun killed the paint though.
Chuck Haugan Nice. My dad had a 76 La Sabre sedan. I’d love to have that car now!
@@chuckhaugan4970 At least, in your family have good taste for the full size Buicks. It's remarkable
@@elmowilson298 Yeah, they did. My Dad owned repair shops and service stations from 1955-1994. Up to 1961, he drove Mercury. But, Ford had huge quality problems after the Edsel failed. His first Buick was a 58 Buick Special, and many after. The first car I remember was our 72 Electra. But the best car we had was a 77 Skylark with the 305 that went 400K mi's + with regular maintenance, and one transmission. It never even had the top end rebuilt. When GM canceled Buick specific engines, my Dad switched back to Ford for the 4.6. And with all of GM's problems, I did the same. It's sad where American Automotive has gone: now it's contracted part, outside engineering, and built on the cheap. I've owned a 99 ford truck for 17 years that has 550K mis on the original engine and buying a new truck for the 5.0, now that it's design is proven. You won't find me in a new GM product anytime soon. LOL. Let's hope GM brings Buick and Chevrolet back to their previous quality or they will not survive, specially when most of their lines are made in Mexico. That's not going to go well, when people figure it out.
Freaking outstanding!! My Dad absolutely LOVED LeSabres!!!
I had a burgandy one of these and absolutely loved it. When I got rid of it in 1999, it had 280,000 miles on it, and still ran great.
Buicks answer to the pontiac parisienne. I used to porter these cars when they came in brand new off the trailers, back when times were simpler! Glory days!!!
@Gman 2060 Ok. Great memories for me, crappy for them! Better?
@Gman 2060 no it wasn't and you know that
I remember 1985 with great fondness. You could get a damn nice car like this if you knew how to properly order it!
@Gman 2060 you probably hadn't been born yet so.....
@Gman 2060 So is that why you sound like a total asshole...? Telling people the cars they like are junk.
I had an 85 LeSabre in black with burgundy velore seats. I had to replace the driver door upper and opera lights in the early 90s. Had it transported to AZ from NY. Listed it in Auto trader magazine, of the day. A guy drove up from Tuscon to Phx an bought it from me (wife needed a new car, selling the LeSabre I could get more $$) The tops of the doors and the perfect steering wheel is worth the price of admission. Years later I got & still have an 1985 Riviera, Tan with blue top & interior. Don't let this one pass you by!
Gorgeous Buick! My grandfather had a white '85 Collectors Edition very similar to this one.
Had one 85 Collector's Edition 4dr blue. 307 4V (Olds) thm200 4spd/od (metric) engine super, trans junk. A year later, bought a 1980 park ave, 350v8 4Bbl, X code engine, (Buick)THM350, 3speed auto trans. That diversion was awesome!!
A great looking car! Whoever details your cars does an excellent job. Buick LeSabre is a nice car, they sure don’t make them like that anymore.
I believe he does the detailing himself. With help from Papa bear.
That’s true
That's practically a new car.
Tears..this is the year before my grandmas...loved it so much...ours lasted forever until my nephew God bless him anyway got it. Gorgeous...Thanks for the joy.
What a gorgeous time capsule !! I love the interior & the opera lights!! This one is a winner 🙂
Want to see you get a 1983-84 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency Brougham.
I'm looking for 1 as we speak I hope to find 1 in this shape....
Yesss havent seen a nice one in forever
Good luck with that!
There is a super clean one at Hemmings
@@randywatson4870 www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/oldsmobile/98/2411395.html
Buick used to have this air of subtle regality that will be missed.
Growing up in South Carolina in the 80s and 90s, these were commonly seen (along with its platform-mates and similar cars from Ford and Chrysler).
There’s just a sense of occasion with those big boats and they had the same effect when they were new. Even as a kid, I understood the vibe of Buick - in the GM hierarchy and the class it was a part of. Nothing they currently make interests me; but this is phenomenal!
Best wishes for a successful sale 🙌
Just bought one myself out of a garage 20 years stored from original owner .... I'm so excited
This guy is the most honest caring car salesman I’ve ever seen.
Oh my God, where do you find these cars? Keep up the good work!!!
How much is this car?

What a gorgeous car! The style and ride is timeless. Thanks for making this video🇺🇸
If ever I want to salivate....I know right where to go!!! :) This car is absolutely amazing!!! You must be living right, since you find such wonderfully magnificent cars!!!! :)
She's a real beauty!
Gorgeous car! I have a 96 Buick Roadmaster Collectors Edition I bought 4 yrs ago with 22,641 one owner miles. Would love to have this but am still stationed overseas until June 2021. Love white cars.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
... Yes! Light-colored cars don't get nearly as hot inside as a dark-colored one.
It was a better car than a Cadillac in 1985. You didn't have the troublesome HT4100. This car was also available in a 2-door coupe.
thats the smaller fwd cadillac the fleetwood broughm had a 5.7 350 and a 700r4 trans and had a 2 door option. cadillac was on the electra and 98 platform. basically same car but slightly longer. cadillac never offered a b body only c. the seville also had the 350 but was fwd in the 80s the 70s seville was g body platform.
To be fair this thing is a chevy caprice with a cream filling still a nice car though but no caddy!!!
@@martinburke362 not really. i mean the frame is the same and the glass thats about it. olds 307 engine vs the 305 or 350. 2004r trans vs the 700r4. none of the interior is the same for the most part. its the same platform but they dont share alot. the caddy shared alot more with a caprice than it.
@@martinburke362 For 1985 you're better off it's not a Caddy with an HT4100 engine.
@@jeffreyrigged The big Fleetwood Broughams used the 249 Cadillac engine until 1985. They switched to the 307 Oldsmobile in 1986, and then they used Chevy engines from 1991 until 1996. One of my cars is a 1984 Cadillac Fleetwood. I swapped in a strong running 455 Buick engine and a TH 350 transmission. I added a few goodies such as a 160 MPH Autometer speedometer, 3 inch exhaust pipes with 12 inch long glasspack mufflers to give it that perfect Harley Davidson rumble kind of sound, etc. One day I wanted to find out how fast it could go but I got scared when I reached 150, and I slowed back down. I'm amazed at how easy it is to swap a bigger engine into the intermediate and full size rear wheel drive GM cars from the 1980's. I saw a 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 455 Pontiac engine under the hood, and one of my neighbors swapped a 454 Chevy into his 1987 Monte Carlo. It's a shame how GM went crazy with the front wheel drive, downsizing nonsense in the late 1980's.
I was in high school during this model year. Like this body style to this day.
I have a buick exactly like this one, white, but with grey valour interior, other than that I thought it bwas my car, love it//
Tony lands another low mileage lovely!
... too bad that the newer exhaust doesn't have the rear resonator..... but it is the nicest 35-year-old car that I've ever seen!
i miss cars like that ...
I owned a 1985 Collectors Edition and let me tell you it was one of the best cars i ever owmed.
Unbelievable😃 What a great LeSabre🇺🇸👍
Beautiful Buick l loved GM back when they made great cars
Beautiful car, and good luck with the sale. I just hope you priced it reasonable considering the a/c and horn doesn't work. Horn is probably an easy fix, but that will make it fail a safety inspection in some states or if you sell it to somebody in Europe(American boats are hot in Europe right now). The A/C, I had my old R12 Lexus converted when it leaked out, they replaced the leaky o-ring and it was less than $300, worked just as good as before.
I HOPE WHO EVER BUYS IT TREATS IT WELL AS THE CAR MADE IT THIS FAR THIS NICE..WOULD BE A BABY FOR ME.. MY GARAGES OUR FULL ...INCLUDING A 85 GRAND NATIONAL WITH A UPGRADED (87) DRIVE LINE.... WISH I HAD SPACE..
I will
stop lyin you have no videos of it
How about you trade in a car and get this one! 😉
I used to have a 1979 Pontiac Bonneville man I love these older cars ...that vehicle is a classic would love to own one day
Oh man Anthony, another tempting beauty. I so miss driving the cushy, fully loaded Champagne‘84 Park Ave which the limo co had in my younger days....(*sigh*)...god I loved driving that car. I’ll say it again, if I had more space & more cash, I would add this beauty to my dream collection for sure!
Makes you wonder why he didn't just go full out and check every option. I guess he ordered it exactly like he wanted. It definitely has some rare options for a LeSabre like leather, dual power seats, and the Twilight Sentinel but has the basic radio without cassette, no cornering lamps, electronic touch climate control, or lamp monitors. I had a 1990 Estate Wagon that basically had every option available except the radio with the graphic equalizer or wire wheels and I really thought the lamp monitors and cornering lamps were really neat at night. Especially considering they were probably each under $100 options so they were a great value IMO. It definitely is not easy to find head lamps today that work with the fiber optics in the lamp monitors though.
Actually this car was originally ordered with the AM/FM cassette equalizer model radio (RPO UX1), which was the highest end radio you could order at the time. I'm guessing the original radio had an issue or was possibly stolen at one time, and was replaced with a basic AM/FM radio.
The cornering lamps and lamp monitors should have been standard on all high trim level models. They were so nice.
alot of parts are from the rear wheel park avenues before it downsized in 85
Just a gorgeous unit Anthony. Detailed so nice and it is just a awesome piece of automotive history. This car is a Sunday driver or on nice dry days or for going to church in or out to eat somewhere. Just a overall a+ car. The molding job you did Anthony looked factory to me could not have known it. The screw in the front bumper if it bothers someone just paint the top of the screw flat black or put a screw in the other side to match like it was made that way. No big deal to me. Sure there will be stone chips the car is 35 years old but hey they were minimal and the show up more on the white paint. Just a beautiful Unit Anthony and it will sell real fast I know. Hard to find another with the history this car has had!
U will never find other one........ORIGINAL.....THIS IMMACULATE!!!!!
Wow Brotha what a Buick not to mention was the Year Bears won Super Bowl LoL Super Cool was worker that ordered & watched it come down the line to sticker Anthony I truly ❤️ what your doing Vintage 🇺🇸 at its FinesT 👷🏼♂️👍🏻
What a beautiful car , I thought it would be totally quiet . Love to have it ..
My favorite generation Lesabre of all times love this car. What a beautiful classic if was a grown man back in '85 would had bought a '85 Lesabre back in the day it would had looked like this one in pristine condition. I take this over a new Mercedes or BMW forget technology just enjoy a smooth on a white cloud ride with quiet comfortable Church on wheels seats.
Lovely car! We had one while back, also collectors limited. This one is missing the all important electronic touch climate control and the light warning system (small raised boxes on front fenders indicating if a light is burned out) that ours had... very cool options.
Hi Anthony. Nice car! I really dig how you point out the details that make your cars prove that they are truly low mileage well looked after time capsules with true original mileage. Things like seat belt tags wood grain dashes (simulated) clear gauges rubber seals etc etc.ect.... Then the test drive literally gives the illusion that I'm actually test driving the car in real time. Exellent work!! Just when I think that I've seen your best stuff you pull out another jem. These old classic low mileage big cars are slowly becoming the next 69 Camaros in my opinion. Keep up the great work Anthony you rock! Peace out from Canada
I don't get some of these comments asking the price when it's right in the video. Another guy wants to know if it's rear wheel drive? A couple others asked is it for sale? Yeesh. There's always the tire kickers.
G bridgman.... Thankyou for your comment man cuz you really had me laughing so hard.. Made my day. But i do agree. Its to funny to read wat sum people say and ask
@@frankcioffi5122 Thanks.
Anthony; another great example of American motor car heritage - a real beauty. Great job finding these time capsules. As always, enjoyed the video! Keep up the good work!!!
My stepfather had a 94 lesabre ,it was every option w/the double plush seat ,champagne beige w/21.000 miles.in 07 he passed & left the car to me.it was garage & never seen rain or snow(Florida car).I took it back to New England & put a set of 20" chrome rims on it & did it transform the car. it was gorgeous.1 year later I moved back to Florida & traded it for a blue corvette.
I’ve had multiple LeSabre’s, a 73, 79, 85, 89, 95, 2000, 2010. Add in 75, 79, and 81 225’s and that will tell you I’m a Buick guy. I bought my first, the 79, in 93 at 20 years old and it’s STILL on the road every weekend.
Love it! I like the gray one, too. I always thought these Buicks were the best looking GMs of the day, very tastefully styled.
beautiful rare car Anthony, I love it !!
I want this car!
It looks brand new. Very nice. My folks had a 78 Le Sabre when I was a teenager
I remember my Dad had one of these cars in 96, it was a brown color on Brown clothe seats and Woodgrain Dash trim pieces on the door panels and dashboard.
Had this same car back in high school only it had the burgundy plush interior and red pin stripes it was an awesome car drove it everywhere wish I never got rid of it!
Beautiful car at a great price!
Buick quality is so much better than any other GM products. This car is definitely worth it! I wish I could've bought this nice car.
I remember my aunt having one of those. Hers was a dark gray with dark grave vinyl roof with plush interior that was her baby she loved that car. They are beautiful cars
I currently own an 1985 Buick lasabre( collectors edition) Green and 2 door with the automatic headlights, pwr windows, seats, Mirrors,etc. I had my car since 3-26-05. If I can trade mines in for this one, I will feel like I just won the lottery. Of course mines is nowhere in the condition this one is in!
Wow, that upper wood grain on the door panel was nice.
Would you be willing to make a video on how you detail the vehicles. They seem to come out awesome!
Yes! He should.
I will consider that!
Great looking car!
This is crazy, car was built at the GM Fairfax plant in KC when my grandfather was working there. I know exactly where the original owners house is and where the dealership is, the dealer is now a Dodge dealer. Amazing how small this world is.
I owned a wagon version. Drove magnificent but mine must have been a Friday car because it broke often. My children were 5 and 3 when I sold it and they still remember going to the drive in, sitting 4 across in the back seat watching The Iron Giant.
I bought one of these, 1 owner, in 1993, and drove it until 1999. I sold it upon getting another vehicle. The family that bought it recently told me they got many years of service out of that vehicle.
Had a 1984 Buick Park Avenue, best car I ever had. Wish I had kept it.
Beautiful Buick white on white .
That would great next to my ‘85 C4 with similar miles
Beautiful car! Almost at 30k subs man, congrats!!
Man I love this channel. Can't wait to get one of those Cadillac's from you.
This was my first car, I want a two door so badly. A two door murdered out LeSabre with a big turbo would be so dope. An LNX. Drool
Just saying I think it be a great idea to have the windows done in a Clear ceramic film for UV protection.
Gorgeous, I got a Olds 98 coupe I been plugging away at. 1985 seems to be an oddball year and hard to find pics online moreless parts. Got spoiled messing with panthers.
Looking at my 85 Buick Lesabre Limited 307 V8, mine isn’t in this great condition but she definitely runs just as good.
Odd that it didn’t have automatic climate control or cassette player
It had a cassette player, if you look at the SPID label you'll see RPO code "UX1", thats the code for the AM/FM/CASS w/Graphic equalizer, you can also see it listed on the invoice, it was a $494.00 option, someone switched it out :(
@@MS3DALE thanks for your information. That radio didn't looked original to me. A top model like this should have a cassette player or even a CD.
Cassette probably broke and he said screw it and put this one in. When I was in high school I detailed cars at my brother in laws Pontiac Buick Oldsmobile gmc truck dealership. I wish he had sold Cadillac. I always wanted the 1986 cutlass 442. The Buick road master was a great car too
. cd players weren't in cars in 1985.
Had a very close car to this, lower trim level (Custom), polar white with blue velour. Same stainless rockers, 307 Chevy, i believe. Added air shocks to improve the stance. Good mom car in the late '80's, early '90's.
Love these full-size B-Body GM's.
Some other people noted that the car originally came with am/fm cassette & equalizer. It was replaced at some point. Also strange is that it doesn't have auto temp. control for the HVAC system.
@@charleskosyjana1295 It would depend what RPO code the car has, which would tell you which radio the car was originally equipped with.
@@jeepguy95 If you look at all the comments, some sharp eyed people stated they saw the RPO on the build sheet for the am/fm cassette with equalizer radio and it must have been switched out. It was my opinion as to why a fully loaded car didn't have automatic HVAC.
@@charleskosyjana1295 Did they even offer automatic HVAC in the B Body cars of this generation? If so, not a lot of people went for it.
@@jeepguy95I had to do a little digging but yes indeed the LeSabre was available with automatic HVAC. I knew it was as my uncle had an 1984 LeSabre that had it.www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/buick/85ble/bilder/4.jpg
This is a very special car. Absolutely outstanding.
You just don’t see these cars anymore, my parents had a dark blue one with the matching top, clean as a whistle
Kind of crazy how nice the interior was on a top of the line Buick or Olds, you really didn't lose anything vs a Cadillac in the 1970's/80's if you checked all the option boxes. In some ways I like the interior on this car better than the full size Cadillac of the 80's.
In the early to mid 80s you lost the HT4100 going to Buick; a big plus! :-)
Imagine on a few decades when we find a 2020 vehicle in similat condition and are amazed.
It is odd that a buick employee would have special ordered this car and all they could pick for a color was WHITE? This car was built when everything was an option. I did notice that on the sticker in the trunk this car had the F41 Sport suspension. That is rare on a buick! Great time capsule.
Well, a car as classy and as elegant as a 1985 Buick LeSabre Limited or a 1984 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency or any Cadillac in this time period looks great in white.
You really call the car right,appreciate that.
Beautiful!
I need the trim for the back window. That was a good idea
the first thing i'd do is dump the lame motor - get a "crate 350" & get dual exhaust ... stiffen the suspension/shocks - lower it a teeny tiny bit .. and improve the radio & speakers
If I had not bought a 07 Cadillac DTS 1 owner 70,000 miles. I would be in the market for this car. It's beautiful.
There is something oddly satisfying about the mechanical sound of the doors on these types of cars opening and closing.
Indeed Chandler 💪🙂
Anthony This is RWD Drivetrain correct
Yes....the last rear-drive Le Sabre was 1985. In 1986, they went to front-wheel-drive and a V6 engine.
2 MAJOR GIVE-AWAYS OF THIS CAR'S CONDITION, AND THAT IT'S LEGITIMATE:
#1) Those gorgeous hard-plastic steering wheels crack in 5 minutes. This one's mint - WOW!
#2) G.M. loves putting 1000 things on the fucking signal light switch. I personally think wipes and cruise on the dash is a lot smarter and cosmetically tidier. BUT, that said, this one's writing on the lever is MINT. Completely there and not worn at all.
For anyone who knows G.M., it's these little things that tell the story.
Beauty!
The European version buick i like these styles better than the other ones with the kit kat rear lights
One thing that perplexes me about optioning of the '85 LeSabre and the Olds 88 is the absence of cornering lamps and fender lamp monitors on these swan song loaded luxury models. I would have thought that GM would have pulled out every single option on these, but for some reason these luxury options are not common on the '85s. I know GM had a ton of them still in the parts bin because they are common on the wagons through '90 and the lamp monitors were also used on the RWD Cutlasses during this time. Meanwhile over at Ford, they were putting cornering lamps on all the Panthers except for only the lowliest Crown Vics.
I got a flawless one in my garage it has touch climate control! Too bad my dad doesn’t bring it out too much…
My favorite car
I am the original designer of this car and I would love to have it!
😭😭😭😭no comment. I know it’s sold already. 😭😭😭 I know Anthony will go back in time and get me a 1990 caddy brougham with 35 k miles when I buy my house with six car garage. 🙏🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂
Awesome car does sound like it has a vacuum leak going on. I can hear the hissing when you popped the hood.
I need this car... that tag attached to the carpet has my birthday on it; March 5th 1985. We both came into this world on the same day.
My goodness, the sound of the doors opening/closing puts me in a trans🤣🤣
terrific!
Buicks are really just a cheaper and better version of Cadillacs Buicks over Cadillacs any day...
Definitely better. No HT4100.
Another home run Anthony! Great job as usual.
