    The seller (goes by Electra Man Rob) has some beautiful Big Buick's from that era. All are exceptionally clean and low miles. While he's not giving the car away, you could not restore one for that money.

    That's a very nice looking Le Sabre. The options choices seen on 1970s cars are really fascinating to me. This has rarely seen Le Sabre options like cornering lights and fiber optic lamp monitors, but the outside mirrors are both manual control. Remote control for the driver mirror would have cost something like $12.

    That car is very strangely optioned, AM Radio, Duel Manual outside mirrors (already Mentioned) No A/C, but Power windows, HD Suspension, every option light bulb available, chrome Buick Rally Wheels.

    It must have been ordered in a northern state, presently in Grand Rapids MI, so I suspect original MI car.

    Some people were content with '460 A/C.'

    In that era, it was "455" AC, unless you were speeding....

    Appropriate since it has a Buick "455" under the hood and no AC compressor to get in the way.

    I'd rather have the red Buick but the yellow model is a decent buy.
    As for AC, even in Illinois the first time I ordered AC was n my 1977 Ford spercab truck. Actually it happened to be on the truck I wanted.
    If my car now had vent widows I'd only needed AC in July this year.
