Description:
1992 Buick LeSabre
I responded to the email that was listed in this local article.."CALLING ALL BEATERS: Your Crappy Car or Lightly Loved Home Could Star in a Film Shooting in Humboldt Soon!" https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2016/dec/16/your-crappy-car-or-lightly-loved-home-could-star-f/They responded and my 92 Buick Lesabre ended up being the car in the film with the most screen time.I included a snapshot of a couple of the emails I received from Allison Trautman (the Art Director of the Film). I also included a scan of the check I received from "Luff Linn Holdings LLC,An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn" for $800 (8 days of filming).I provided colorful enamel sharpie pens for the cast to sign the interior of my car and graffiti the interior as they wanted once they were done filming, but the production wanted to film my car after the cast was dismissed so that wasn't allowed. I didn't even get a measly piece of paper with some cast signatures.They accidentally left behind some audio cable that is coiled up under the seat, goes under a panel up the side of the car and sticks out behind the visor. I didn't discover it until a month or so after production was completed.This car on it's own is not worth $5000, but as a movie prop I hope there is someone out there that might buy it at this price. I don't just need some cash, I need enough money to purchase a used car I can trust to take on long trips to visit family and friends. This car runs OK, but years ago it stalled and wouldn't start. I had to have it towed to my place where it sat for a few months. I didn't discover why it stalled (the guess was something electrical) but it started back up without any repairs and has been running fine since. I am able to use this car for food shopping and local needs but I don't ever drive it further than I can get it towed back to my home.
If you were to buy this car I recommend you do a little "Movie Vacation". Stay at the Eureka Inn, where most of the movie was filmed. Also have a lunch at Bob's Footlongs in Fortuna all the while driving one of the stars of the film,, this "beater" car that is up for auction. After your movie vacation, I would recommend shipping the vehicle back to your home rather then driving it a long distance. I am not offering a hotel night or a hot dog lunch as part of the sale, I just recommend you try those things when you visit.
As I stated in the "Condition Description" = Many rust spots. AC, Heater, & vent fan rarely work. Ceiling upholstery falling off. Trunk doesn't lock. Driver seat will bend out of shape. Minor oil leak. Windshield has crack. Currently runs good, but has failed and needed towing in the past. I'm not mechanically inclined so there are likely more downsides to add to this list.
The electric windows and electric adjustable driver seat and mirror all work.
Please only bid if you have and intend to pay the bid price.
