Hey all I am currently working on a 1972 centurion but i cant find part and i dont have money to spend on getting parts made. We’re not certain who the manufacturer is, but maybe Wayne will wee this post and offer us some insight.Ĭlassic Car Restoration Club Video Membership Reply We agree Wayne’s choice of wheels for this great car is “Spot-on”. I love the look of the wheels, what size and what kind of rims? Reply 8>) Need something for a daily driver though, which I assume you already have. You could keep a smart car in the trunk as a back up in case you run out of gas. Yeah, the 455 gobbles up the fuel, but what a thrill to drive a big ragtop like that. ![]() No restore, cannot afford that so fix and enjoy the ride, good to hear there are some people out there that respect these cars ReplyĪ nice looking car already. Like you money usually issue, just had a hi-performance 350-4 installed. Have 1974 Buick Lesabre Luxus Convertible, low end, no power windows or air. Our 71 would cruise effortlessly all day at 100+, but you didn’t pass many gas stations. Great choice! 71/72 Buick Centurions don’t get the credit they deserve for being beautifully styled and very fast for major hunks of steel. Your Centurion has always been my dream car.

The engine is out, and we are gathering parts. Together, we are working to restore her 1972 VW Bus. My oldest daughter just hit 17 and just bought her first classic. It has been running great! It has a 455 engine, which surprisingly gets around 13-miles to the gallon on the highway! It is a gas hog around town though.Īlthough I will eventually prep it for a paint job, I have put most of my plans on hold for the moment. So far, I have given it a tune up, changed the fuel sending unit, and changed the battery cables. Combined, they cost me $275 with shipping. I found the driver-side exhaust manifold on Ebay, and the passenger side manifold on a classic car website. In fact, only 2,396 convertibles were made in 1972, a much lower production run than some of the more popular vehicles of that era. Centurion convertibles are not well known, and actually are a bit rare. I met him the next day, checked out the car, and handed him $5,000. He said the engine was loud because there was a hole in the exhaust manifold, and they don’t make replacements. I immediately contacted him to find out what was wrong with the car. Usually the cars are on the market place, so I was surprised to see it in a garage sale site. One night, I was on Facebook and one of the garage sale sites in my area had the Buick listed for sale. I had been looking for a classic car for about two years, without finding anything that fit my budget that didn’t need an entire rebuild. Here are some pictures of my 1972 Buick Centurion. ![]()
