I'm feeling dizzy. Video motion-sickness, but I'd want that car. These newer Buicks are all about downsizing, and saving budget. Bring back these full-sized Centurions.
Wow. Thanks for posting. Beautiful car, and it brings back memories. I had a '72 Centurion 455 identical to that one from 1992 to 1998. It had only 70K miles on it when I bought it and it ran like a dream. Unfortunately, it was a Michigan car and was getting pretty crispy around the edges. Wish I would have had the money to have it restored. I still have the centurion hood ornament.
my grandfather had one green convertible, my father wrapped it around a pole on Christmas eve.in 1985.fast boat across the marsh roads in South East Maryland, on Rte 363. I remember driving it when I was 13 or14
We had a 1973 Buick Centurion 455; Great car. I think this one is a 1972, however. The horsepower dropped significantly from 1970 - 1973 because of the emissions control system.
I still need to shorten the tail pipes. That´s ow they came out of the box. Sorry, vid. is getting a little bit boring to the end. But I didn´t know the road and how much turns there are. Wasn´t able to hit the pedal more.
Da sind wir schon 2. Ich hab den Buick gesehen und es war Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Wenn du auf den diversen US-Treffen bist kannst du ja die Augen offen halten ;) Traun500, Hot Summer Nites, Crocodile Meeting...
@Minutourus Ja, momentan hab ich ihn zum verkaufen bei einem Händler stehen. Allerdings nicht mehr lang. Hab ihn aus Platzmangel angeboten. Platzmangel ist aber so gut wie behoben. Also werd ich mein Schätzchen wieder nach hause holen.
i cant tell but it looks like you still have the veic sticker under the hood. i just bought a centurion and i come to find out all the vacuum lines arent hooked up. went and got a haynes and there were no vacuum diagrams in it. it said they are not available anywhere else but the veic sticker itself! wtf is that?! i cant find it online anywhere, is there any way you can help me out? i dont want to sell my car but...my egr is already clogged up bad

Those things are tanks but i love them
SUPER !!! On en veut encore, et sur un bout de route plus long et bien droit !!!
Very nice Buick. I´m going to buy ine in Nürnberg next year. Can´t wati for it :-).
The vid was recordes in October or November.
I shortened them like they were original.
My uncle had one new; Tan with White vinyl top/interior. I found it many years after he sold it, what a coincidence.

Jep, it is.
But it´s worth every Cent to get soaked through my Rochester Carburator :)
@gothatway Recht hast du!!!
2 gallons burnt during this video...
No wonder some Europeans don't get American style cars....they have no straight roads. A car like that is like a whale on a beach.
Have you contemplated putting an EFI conversion kit on it?
hi
Good for 8-10 mpg. Lol
