My Badass"65 Buick LeSabre

This car was one of those situations when your eyes are bigger than your mouth, and I bit off more than I could chew (more like afford). I bought this car when was around 21 I guess and I thought it was the most bad ass ride I'd ever seen. I had some understanding of automotive repair and absolutely zero fear (zero sense), it was love at first sight of that Seafoam Green. I had just worked one year for the car auction which I'm still at and when this baby rolled in I knew I had to have it, I found out which dealer brought it in and when no one bid on it I asked how much? When he said $500 I couldn't get the money out of pocket fast enough. Barely running I taped up all the spark plug wires with electrical tape as they were lighting up like a Christmas tree because they were so old and slapped a dealer plate on and drove her home in all her sans exhaust glory which ended were the Y-pipe meets the firewall, the rear brake line was pinched shut because it was blown (see told you no sense). 88kms (Mississauga-Hamilton) of screaming loud hell on wheels and unbelievably not one cop to be found. For it's age and condition this car flew with it's two speed auto tranny and I loved it. Later I spent $100 and with that I got an awesome score, Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, both exhaust manifolds and front lap belts(it had no belts when I bought). A couple years go buy and realizing I could never restore do to costs and lack of proper facilities I flipped it for exactly $600 which I had into it. Here are some pics of it and some original mag adds I still have.
