We have a beautiful 1970 Buick Le Sabre It features a gold exterior
and black vinyl interior. It boasts a powerful 455ci motor backed
by an automatic transmission. Only minor detail changes including
grille and taillight revisions were made to the 1970 LeSabre. New
features this year included a hidden radio antenna which amounted
to two wires embedded in the windshield. Wheelbase was increased by
one inch to 124 inches (3,100 mm), matching direct competitors such
as Oldsmobile Delta 88, Mercury Monterey and Chrysler Newport. Both
base and Custom models were again offered. Engines were revised
with the standard 350 two-barrel V8 increased in horsepower from
230 to 260. A new option for 1970 was a low-compression
regular-fuel version of the 350 four-barrel rated at 285 horsepower
and the high-compression premium fuel 350 four-barrel V8 was
reworked with horsepower upped to 315 on a 10.25 to 1 compression
ratio. Added to the lineup was a new LeSabre 455 line which shared
interior and exterior trimmings with the LeSabre Custom and was
powered by Buick's new 455 cubic-inch V8 with four-barrel
carburetor, 10.25 to 1 compression and 370 horsepower, which also
required premium fuel. Transmission offerings included a standard
three-speed manual with column shift for the base 350 two-barrel or
optional three-speed Turbo Hydra-matic 350 automatic, which was
standard equipment with the two 350 four-barrel engines. This
transmission completely replaced the old two-speed automatic
offered with the smaller base engines in past years, while the 455
was paired with the Turbo Hydra-matic 400. Buick now joined other
GM divisions in marketing the automatic transmission under the
Turbo Hydra-matic trade name rather than the "Super Turbine"
designation used since 1964. This vehicle is located in our
Milwaukee showroom. You can view this 1970 Buick Le Sabre in
