Somehow, Mike Stolfi who is a dedicated BangShifter found this insanely weird car listed for sale and immediately sent us the link. Like him, we believe that the comma is in the wrong place and like him, we are flummoxed as to how in the hell this car got built and then what the heck happened to cause it to only accumulate 1,500 miles in nearly 30 years of life. Yes, you are looking at a 1989 LeSabre T-type that’s been turned into a weird kind of executive limo where four people could sit in the back and do their business as the 3800 V6 garbled them down the road. But here’s the thing…a part of us kind of likes it.
Look at how nicely this car was done! The inside of it is not all hacked and pimptastic, it is actually done in the right kind of upholstery to match the factory and it does not look like some Rick James fueled bad dream. The exterior look is what gives us the major sad face because the thing is just not pleasing to look at. The weird angular landeau style roof kind of makes the thing look like two hunks of car welded together. The wheels are factory style but just look kind of weak, and it has the overall appearance of an old school “double front ender” style machine.
Oh and yes, there was such a thing as a LeSabre T-type and no, it was not nearly as cool as the Regal variant. Cooler than a regular LeSabre they got a better suspension, the black paint, the buckets, a floor shifter, and maybe some more chippy gears but they were not a hardcore performance car and they did not make a ton of them, making this thing all that much more weird.
Any ideas? Are we the only ones that like this thing?
For Sale: 1989 Buick LeSabre T-Type executive limo is so freaking weird and clean
At least the window tint is so dark that you won’t be able to see its horrible reflection in windows as you drive past them….
After the courts pick clean the “Trump Empire”…Donald might need a cheap escape vehicle.
Isn’t that a coupe and sedan welded together?
So to me it looks like they married the front of a four door with a two door in the back. Very Bang Shift! Work with what your have and ***k the rest.
