• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Your craigslist finds, ricers, personals, stupidity, etc








Holy crap! Never seen an actual one before, let alone one for sale. Only stock photos from ads, promos and brochures.



$31k? What's so special about it? I wouldn't pay more that $1200 for that lol

It's a "LeSabre Grand National". Just as rare as the ad says. Is it worth $31k? Probably not. He should really take it to a BJ or Mitchum auto auction, or something along those lines to see what it will go for, as there are too few to really assess a value. The LeSabre T-Type that would follow ('87 - '89) looks WAY, WAY better to me, but this car is still a pretty interesting piece of Buick history nonetheless:

Many do not even know that Buick Division of General Motors produced the Grand National on a platform other than on the Regal but there was a very unique Grand National built in late 1985 – the 1986 LeSabre Grand National. 117 (or 112) copies were built to qualify the new, first year 1986 LeSabre FWD Coupe body for NASCAR competition. The main reason for building the 1986 LeSabre Grand National was to get the new body with modified rear quarter windows sanctioned for Winston Cup racing that year. The modified windows gave the car a streamline advantage over cars with the large rear quarter windows. All LeSabre Grand Nationals were produced in December, 1985 in one run, from one run sheet – some of the first FWD LeSabre Coupes produced at the then brand new Buick City plant.
