I've owned this car since 2000, and owned a stock coupe for a couple of years, and now have another T-Type. The mileage has clicked over 256,000 miles without an overhaul. It still has the factory remote start that works! I've tried to keep it stock, with only minor changes. (stereo, and alarm) The only noticable change on the outside are the 16" ARE wheels, and BFG Z-rated tires. Log on to www.LeSabreT.com to learn more about these rare cars.

Just washed after replacing the windsheild, and fresh window tint.

I found this car sitting in a ditch with a "For Sale" sign on it. I didn't know much about the LeSabre T-Type, but once I slammed the gas at a stop sign, I was in love with it!

Dash mat is to cut down on sun glare. (Snake's head hangs from the mirror.) Dash toggle switch goes to red lights under seats, to match red dash lights (factory)with a red back-lit Pioneer CD player.

Yeah, the leather is a little tired.

Thanks for the comments. I do plan to keep it smooth, I've shaved all the mouldings from the sides, basically just going to have door handles and marker lights. As for the bumper, I can't afford to replace it so I'm leaving it as is. The tail lightts aren't bad, I had to get a new set from a wrecking yard because one was cracked. I kind of want to leave it stock in the rear, as if it's the Olds version of the El Camino. 5 stars for your Buick, I've always liked those cars. I had a '90 Bonneville SSE with the 3800 and it was bulletproof, had 330,000km original when I sold it and still ran great. Keep up the good work!

Hey there, I was just reading about your two cars here (then I realized these are ones you sent me for the Registry!) and I noticed you put lights under the seats. I actually put red lights under my dash (by the pedals and the same place on the passenger side) and put some under the seats to shine in the back as well. The only difference is I have mine rigged to the parking light/headlight switch, and they work on the dimmer roller too! I'm sure you'll agree that these lights look great at night, even on the black carpet!
