A longtime reliable tank
Fusable link has been out of it for years, a new one was no longer available so it was bypassed with wire ties and tape.
Typical GM 80's paint job is all but gone.
Does not burn any oil and still starts even when it is -25 degrees.

I own a gray '82 LeSabre with a 350 under the hood and I think that Pontiac's saying "wider is better" is exactly that. I've never seen a fiberglass car get to close to my big dog! It's been going for 16 years and the way it's built, it's lookin' at about 50 more! Built like a tank, big as a C-130 cargo plane, and as fast as a runaway train. I LOVE IT!!!
I have a grey 1982 LeSabre custom 2 door. It's my everyday car, and I love it.
I have a grey 1982 lesabre coupe its my everyday car and I plan on keeping it forever I mean I really enjoy these cars.
I found a 1982 Lasabre 4 door with 39000 miles It looks really clean and they are asking $7000. Just want to bring it to car cruises.
Make sure it has the 307 V8. The 231 or 252 V6 has no power for a car that big.
The 231 had around 300 ft-lbs of torque. Unless you are on a drag strip, that is more than enough. Not sure how you drive around the city.
More like 185-190 for the torque numbers.

Do not operate the car without a fusible link! If a short ever develops without this necessary safety item, you are at great risk of a fire. Fusible links are available at any good parts store. Determine the correct gauge, cut a piece about 4 to 5 inches long, and graft it into the harness using crimp connectors. Get 'er done!!
