‘70 Le Sabre in El Paso

That's the pick a part model, the business model. Just the way they work.
Big car part sales are a struggle. Ask me how I know, have been selling online for twenty one years. Dumped a pickup load at DVAP six years ago, including some perfect '73 Electra metal - LF fender and radiator support. No buyers.

 

I wonder if the glovebox light switch and bulb socket assy for the glovebox light are the same as that which is found in the ‘70 Electra 225?

If so, I could sure use the assy as mine, for some reason, was missing when I bought the car.

Dave, just shot you a msg here. I got the spindles today. As you said, they’re in excellent condition.

Thanks again,

Paul

 

I thought the lesabre came with a 350?

 

Thanks for clearing that up Brad, cheers

 

It's like this: for model year 1970 you could order a base LeSabre or a LeSabre Custom with a 350 or the optional 455 engine for the LeSabre Custom convertible.

But, you could also order a third model, the LeSabre Custom 455.
And that car came standard with the 455 engine, but a LeSabre Custom 455 (model series) convertible was not available.

I took a few photos for you:

 

From the 1970 Buick brochure:

 

I bought the cluster and dash harness last week along with a few trinkets. Dash emblem, wiper switch, floor headlight switch etc. The dash shell is very good, only one center crack and the metal is near rust free.

 

Did the engine ever get sold?

 

Yes, engine, trans (turbo 400) and driveshaft are Gone. I didn't buy any of those parts. Too far away from any hypothetical buyers.

 

Thank you for the update.

 

I was lucky with my Jag....only in junkyard for 3 days....I guess they hadn't done the paperwork. No engine, trans or rear. 500 bucks with title
