This ad says this is a '68 Electra with a 350. Is this actually a LeSabre? My understanding was that the 430 was the base engine in the Electra in '67 and '68. Also, that roof line does not look like an Electra to me, but I was not sure. '68 buick electra 55,886 miles - $3300 (san diego): http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/1445952512.html
Three Ventiports: LeSabre :TU: (no Ventiports: Wildcat) And that roof line is showing that this isn't an Electra. 1968 Wildcat coupe: 1968 LeSabre coupe: 1968 Electra coupe:
Erik is correct, it's a '68 LeSabre. The steering wheel also indicates LeSabre, as does the grill. Wilddat, Riviera and Electras had a three spoked wheel. :TU:
While I fully agree that it is a '68 Lesabre, I'm not sure on the steering wheel. Perhaps there were wheel options based on trim. My steering wheel (all original) has three skinny spokes, not like the picture that shows a fat middle spoke. o No:o No:o No:
Thanks everyone, I guessed right on it being a LeSabre! It's amazing to me that someone can sell a car and have the wrong model in their ad, especially for such an old car that is in decent shape.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that cars with tilt steering came with the three spoke steering wheel:
Tilt wheel option could very well be the reason for a 3 spoked wheel in a '68LeSabre Erik, while Widcats, and Electras had them with, or without tilt, and the tilt wheel was standard on Rivieras. :TU:
