I am the second owner of this vehicle-A 1972 TEXAS
BUICK CENTURION CONVERTIBLE BLACK ON BLACK. It had 32K miles when I bought it
in 1991 and I have put about 5K miles on this car since.
Some of the options are: PS, PB, Power Antenna,
Power Top, Power Seats and a powerful Souped up 455CI motor with 450 Horse
Power. Of course Dual Exhaust with resonators and Stainless pipes.
The top does not leak although I have put on
premium duck cloth material on some thin areas. With the top down it features
a very, very rare PARADE BOOT, which is in "NEW" condition and is a
two piece fiberglass unit.
It runs like a Rocket and a top. The only interior
flaw is a small 3 inch separation on the front bench seat upholstery. There
are 5 Classic Chrome Buick Rally rims with 5 matching tires. The trunk is
emaculent as is under the hood. The paint needs little touch up and all
cosmetic chrome molding and emblems are accounted and in perfect shape.
This is my third Buick Centurion/LeSabre
Convertible, a 67 LeSabre, a 72 LeSabre and this GEM. I purchased it when I
was living in Houston, Texas for 7 years. The owner was female and she cried
when she sold the car for $6700.00. I put $4000.00 into the high performance
motor and about another $2000.00 toward the duals, a new AC unit, tires etc...
It is a totally complete vehicle, which does not
need restoration, only minor work as it is virtually rust free. I will
include a picture with this correspondence and eventually build a list of all
the extra parts I need to get rid of. I have "NEW" the 1972 Buick
line Showroom Catalog, The Fisher Body Manual, The GM Chassis Service Manual
and Two Owners Manuals all Original in The Original Plastic Sleeves!!!
