Sold it! Nothing happened, just sold it and moved on to another Buick. What I was planning on doing to it during the winter was "pro-touring" it. 2 factors convinced me to sell it. 1. Besides looking and handling awesomely, it would ruin it's original integrity. 2. alot of the suspension parts would have to be custom made for it, and even though I woulda did it, would have been one hell of a job...labor wise and $$$ wise, so out of no-where an offer I couldn't refuse came along, and I took it. Now now it's onto my next car...a '71 GS 455 Stage 1.
It hurt watching them load her up and taken away, more so because she was sooo well taken care of, by me and the former owners. Finding another '71 centurion someday in mint in and out condition is probably slim to none...but you never know!

Nice... i had a 71 Buick GS 350 and a 70 GS Skylark 455 back in the 90's but moved onto Centurions... Always liked the unique body styles...

Good luck on your build...!
