UPDATE
Just added a very nice, one-owner 1989 black LeSabre T-Type to the "family". Will do some updates in the future.

Clean88T's 1988 Buick LeSabre

The Exterior
Clean88T's 1988 Buick LeSabreI bought the silver 1986 LeSabre Limited brand new in 1985. It was one of the best cars I have ever owned. So when I wanted a "new" car what did I get? The 1988 Red LeSabre T-Type Coupe you see next to it. The LeSabre T-Type was only produced from 1987 to 1989. This photo was taken the day the T-Type joined our group of vehicles.
Clean88T's 1988 Buick LeSabreI purchased the 1988 Buick LeSabre T-Type in 2003. The T's paint job is a "10" (looks good from 10 feet away, no closer viewing please). I have been looking around for a good body shop and will hopefully repaint the car the stock color shortly. The front air dam is unique to the BLT and I hope it does not get banged up as they are getting pretty scarce and pricey.
Clean88T's 1988 Buick LeSabreI am old school and will keep the car pretty stock. But you gotta love the Flowmaster exhaust exiting in the big rectangular tips. I have BFG White Letter 235/60R15 Radial T/A tires on the stock rims which I will retain. The rims are unique to the LeSabre T-Type although the Buick Reatta of the same vintage had these wheels but with a different center cap. I have added a Strut Tower Brace from a newer "H" body car which improves cornering greatly. Rear spoiler is unique to the 1988-89 (and maybe some 1987) BLT's but is not as hard to find as the front air dam.

I used to have the 88' Buick LeSabre T-Type.. it was defintiely an awesome car.. although the transmission went out.. grr, At the time I didn't have the money to fix it and now I did especially looking at the photos.. Would there be anyway you'd sell your LeSabre at all? It's like my dream car now.. lol
