Hello, I am posting here to find a new home for my Buick Centurion. It has been garaged since my Uncle bought in in 1971. I have had it since 1999. The original color was fire red, now it is maroon w/gold flake. The convertible top is two year old. An auto upholstery shop in town did a real good job on it for $3200. The mileage is 205,000 but almost all of that was up to about 1990. Everything works (maybe not the clock radio). I have the build sheet, but I can't crack all the codes. It has the 455 engine. Anyway it is sitting in my garage, I take it out every 2 months for a ride around town but that's all. It seems to be going to waste just sitting there. I think it is worth $10000.
I figure you guys are the Centurion experts and might know someone in the market for for a 1971 in pretty good condition. Call me (509) 393-9089 or email me

Would love to see pictures. I'll be in the market for a 'vert when the snow is gone, and there's a chance my 68 will need to be going out to Oregon also.

Any engine work done, or is it untouched? I'm concerned about the miles on the eng/trans/suspension/brakes, etc.

Nice car!! Nicely optioned but no air conditioning will hurt it, the non-authentic color will hurt it, but not as much as the very high miles.

How is the interior holding up after that many miles?

Seems like an awful lot of money to have a top replaced but the top looks good.

You may want to put some closer pictures, along with pictures of the engine compartment, interior and trunk.
