Answer 1

Your car marks the second year of a 1965 restyle. The LeSabre was available in two trim levels, the base LeSabre and the LeSabre Custom, which featured a more luxurious interior trim.

Offered from 1965 to 1969 was the LeSabre "400" package which included the Super Turbine "400" 3 speed automatic transmission teamed with a four-barrel high-compression version of the LeSabre's smaller V8 engine which displaced 300 cubic inches for 1964-65, 340 cubic inches for 1966-67 and 350 cubic inches from 1968 onward. During each of those years, the standard two-barrel low compression LeSabre V8 was only available with the Super Turbine 300 two-speed automatic transmission, requiring the Buick buyer preferring the three-speed automatic to order the LeSabre "400" package or the higher-priced Buick Wildcat (which replaced the Invicta in 1963) or Buick Electra models, which were powered by larger-displacement V8 engines.

Answer 2

Those tanks are bulletproof. They usually have a nailhead v8, sometimes a 300ci but usually the 401. they are good engines. They also came with the THM 400 tranny which is near bulletproof. The only bad things about older cars is the gas mileage and the tendency for brake lines to go on you..... Check it out underneath to make sure the frame/fuel lines/brake lines are as solid as the rest of the body.. It will be a fun car to drive, and you will catch peoples eyes with that tank!!!! I say go for it, you will always be able to sell it for a good amount of money as long as you do not wrap it around a pole or tree..........(and be carefull, if it has the 401and it runs real good, it will impress you with how quick it is for a big car)
