[centurion 455 ragtop]

Olean, NY is way upstate about an hour south of Buffalo. From me is a good 5-6 hours (lower NYS region)

It is a great looking car and the price so far is very reasonable. Like to see someone grab it. Me? Well if I did, I would most likely end up living in it:spank: My better half would kill me:D

Hey, Per, that´s a possibility for you to change into a convertible !! ;)

Feeling the sun and the wind, smelling the air and hearing the V8 working, having the bright sky above your head while driving such a beautiful Centurion - that´s a real luck on this world; believe me ! :xyxthumbs:

4 days left for thinking about that chance!:cool:

I think you sense my enthusiasm between the lines Rolf :D
Would love to have a convertible if I were living somewhere else. This cold summer I did’nt even bother to recharge the AC :( . Besides I’m in love with the way the roof is designed on my two door hardtop.
Let’s agree that both have their charm as long as they are Buick Centurions ;)

Per, your car is one of those "like-new-cars" with a nice colour and for a cold weather it´s of better use than a convertible anyway - specially this year.

The vinyl roof looks like a closed convertible - and when the windows are all down you could feel nearly like an open roof driver - isn´t it ?

So I understand you : main thing is our cars are CENTURIONs ! -
>>You can drive whatever you want, but real king of road is a Centurion !<<:xyxthumbs: ;)

Hey Per and Rolf, you both are dead on with this. These rides are something! Rolf described it as it is... nothing like a ragtop in the world!! That being said, when I took the car out last weekend to fluff and buff it, I put the top up so I wouldn't get the interior wet. Well, when I was done, I stood back and took it in, and I gotta tell you, these cars are really hot looking with the tops up!! Much like Per said about his hardtop! Bottom line, we have the best damn rides on the planet, bar none! They're cool looking, great riding and simply a lot of fun to drive. :cool: :D :cool: :D :cool:


I hope someone snatches this one up!

It's a beautiful car and I like that color combination on the '73 convertibles.

If I'm viewing the photos correctly, it appears that this car lacks air conditioning. As we know, the vast majority of Centurions were A/C-equipped, and I think it's likely that buyers of a high-line convertible from this era will demand the A/C option. This may limit the appeal and selling price of this particular car.

Thanks Rolf :)
Your ride isn’t bad either, that’s for sure!

A white convertible like yours could be the perfect transportation for weddings. A chance to make a nice little income that could be spent on parts and stuff from Ebay.
Just make sure no one riding in your car has any sharp items in their back pockets. A 35 year old leather interior can be very dried out and fragile, I’ve learned that the hard way. :rolleyes: :(

Thanks, Per, for your information. I´ll have an eye on the passengers!
On the other hand I have vinyl - no leather - and it´s in a good condition, so I guess that risk will be not as great as in your car. And I would make those wedding tranportations only for good friends, not as a business.
