Now as then nobody makes much of anything interior wise other than seat covers for these cars.Īlthough a lot of base Buick Skylarks and such were made interior parts which are the same as on this car as those base cars are virtually none existent making this a tough restoration. The only parts that were a big problem then as now was the plastic interior parts that went to schidt when the cars were a couple years old. These 2 cars were really unknown types of cars back then as all the production numbers were just speculation at that time. Had a 73 Oldsmobile Cutlass S 455 4 Speed Colonade as the same time. Before the establishment of General Motors, GM founder William C.
Started by automotive pioneer David Dunbar Buick in 1899, it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors in 1908. I owned a Black 73 4 Speed Stage 1 Colonade Buick GS about 15 years ago. Buick (/ b ju k /) is a division of the American automobile manufacturer General Motors (GM). Hopefully, the seller can find a way to step up his marketing and sales pitch game to inspire potential buyers to make an offer on this rare big body coupe.
#9134399746 BUICK CENTURION MANUAL#
The four-speed manual is a huge bonus, and is one of the best reasons for giving this Buick a proper restoration. Sometimes, rare doesn’t equate to special or valuable, but this car with its optional 455 V8 and Stage 1 features is worth saving. No word on the presence of any rust, and the seller says to simply lob your best offers at him instead of listing a price. The seller doesn’t state whether this was a Canadian-built model, but perhaps one of our VIN sleuths can figure out which plant this Buick was assembled in.
#9134399746 BUICK CENTURION REGISTRATION#
This Century is currently in Vancouver, and I believe this amounts to being a registration sticker from Canada. This being a non-A/C car makes it one of 42. However, I kept seeing a figure tossed around for 92 4-speed Stage 1 cars, but then realized the seller is also breaking out which of those cars had air conditioning from the factory, which brings the total production number down even lower. Some of us have been waiting a long time for a registry like this to come along. Hopefully, this site will enable an easy way for you to register your car, as well as view the other cars in the registry. In doing some additional homework around the seller’s claims, it would appear he’s right: this car didn’t find many takers when new. The Buick Centurion Registry is dedicated to preserving the history of as many Centurions from 1971-1973 as possible. You’ll find the Buick here on craigslist with the price unlisted. This car, with its plain-jane Century design, has both the Stage 1 package with the 455 V8 and the exceedingly rare 4-speed manual transmission (and no A/C), making this one of just 42 cars equipped this way, according to the seller. If you didn’t take a closer look, you’d be forgiven for glossing over this listing for a 1973 Buick Century Gran Sport Stage 1 in the classifieds.
