| 1976 Buick LeSabre | Back: rv1 |
||
White with a blue vinyl top and nice quantities of putty.
Performance:
0-60: approx 11 sec
1/4 mile: Maybe high 16's?
Top Speed: approx 115 mph (drag limited,
reached.)
When and how much:
Spring and summer of 1990.
Paid $300.
Stories:
My first car that was really a car.
A car designed before "downsizing." Only had it for 3 months, drove
the wheels off it. An overheating, gas guzzling pig. Ended
up in a "minor" accident that left the telephone pole standing, but the
car a couple of inches shorter. Sold it back to my uncle to use in
a demo derby where he did decently until the motor grenaded.
Maybe now you can see how the whole
"rolling violation" theme begins. :)
More pictures:
One - I can't remember where I found it,
so if it's yours and you want credit, email me.
Links:
None. If anyone has any, email
me.
Credits:
My cousin Greg took the photos
for his high school photography course. Not sure if he got an A for
the content, but it's the only pic I have of it.

depending on where you read, I've
seen the HP rated at 3400, 3600 and 4000 rpm. Wouldn't rev beyond
5000 anyway.
