- Check out a walk-around of my 1976 Buick Century Custom. This car is one of a kind. There are not many clean restored low mileage car like this on the east coast. The color combination on this Buick is always turning heads and the 350 engine makes it as fun to drive as it is to look at. This car is a all original 1 owner car. (Me being the second owner). I am very lucky to add this beauty to my collection of cars.

for a almost 50 year old car,she is perfect in my eyes. i have a 1977 monte carlo and it didnt look anything like that when i bought it off a older guy LOL.
Thanks brother…it has some surface rust happening behind my trim now. So I took the trim off. I’m about to start restoring the exterior soon
Nice Buick. These are going up in value. Regal’s were everywhere but this car is rare and with the low miles, don’t give it away. Most of my friends and me start driving in 76’ two friends drove Regals (sharp) cutlass , Monte Carlo and myself Grand Prix
If that spare says General Tire, which by the looks of it, I think it is, then it's the original spare.
I’m glad that I watched to the end of the video. It’s nice to hear how humble & grateful you are in getting this car.
God Bless and best of luck with this car.
Thanks you so much. This car is my reminder of what can happen if you stay positive, stay faithful, and just don’t give up. It’s definitely more then a car for me. Also the smiles it puts on people’s faces is what it’s all about. I love hearing people stories about them or a family member having a car like this and the memories it brings them. I feel like I make a new friend every time I pull this car out.
Ketri, I really envy you, but in a good way, my Wife and I had a 76 Century back in 1978, as you can imagine I was young, LOL, now I'm 62. The Buick we had was the same color, it had the V8 and it also had a factory sun roof, my Wife says that the pin striping was kind of a brown color, congratulations, you made a great buy.

That means a lot....Thank you kind sir. I wish I was old enough to see these cars new. I would have been broke if I was though. I love 50-70’s American cars.
Absolutely beautiful car! My first car was a 1975 Century Special. The dash on yours is almost exactly like the one I had...brings back some wonderful memories watching your video! Thank you for keeping it clean and running, there are not many of them left in that shape. Thanks again for posting this video!
That’s a awesome first car. My first car is the Cadillac I’m LS swapping on this page. No problem I will be making
more videos of this car very soon. Today was are first good weather day this year.
I had a 1976 Special in high school back in 92. Left for the Army that year. Fast forward to 2017 I found the same car but a year later model on craigslist for $500 w cracked block and heads. Long story short I now own a running 1977 century special w rebuilt oddfire V6 and rebuilt transmission. I have yet to do the interior or paint but she runs fine.
Awesome. How is the v6? I always wondered. What made me pull the trigger on this one is that it was a 350
@ketrilamar the V6 is ok for the weight of the car. Not the most power but for me it's about feeling 17 again when I'm in that car.
@@slaisebam I understand that. I love old music and old cars. When I’m in this and playing my old music I feel like I was in the 70’s what a good feeling.
I had a stripe on mine it was the same color..same stripe but I had an accident and didn't replace it. The 76 Free Spirit buick century had that stipe.
That’s too bad. If you’re who I think you are (from Facebook) I just want to thank you again for all the helpful information on these cars. 🙏🏾
I know we have pictures of the car, but they are probably somewhere in the attic, you know back then chrome sidewinder exhaust pipes were popular, I was trying to find videos on youtube so I could show them to my Grandson, that's how I found your video, again congratulations, I hope to see it when it's fully restored, FYI, I'm blind, but my wife can describe it for me, regards.
Eduardo
Well if you ever find any pictures of that car let me know. I’d love to see it.
I’m glad you found my video and commented. It been nice talking to you. Thanks for subscribing to my channel I really appreciate it. I’ll have more of my Buick as soon as the weather breaks. I’m super tired of the snow. You and your wife be safe and take care.
Blessings

I used to have a 1975 cutlass salon and a 1976 Oldsmobile omega was my first car.
So very beautiful 1976 Buick Century ❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
That car is 🔥🔥
Thanks big bro...
i got a 76 century special with t tops stored away waiting when i have time to put it back on the road
Very beautiful ‘76 Century 👍
Thank you. 🙏🏾
Very similar to the cutlass. I see Spitzer. That is a dealership in cleveland area. Still around. Car is in great condition.
Only thing I would do is replace those wheels with Rallye II OEM wheels and raised white letter tires for a period correct look.
You got a beautiful car there brotha
Thanks brother I really appreciate that.

Willie Baker Nice. My car is from Ohio but I bought it out here in Virginia.
Looks like the car I use to have back in 1986 it got towed and I never got it out I messed up big time I was 24 years old and now 61 smh
Awww man. I know you miss that car.
I have 76 free spirit
Nice!!!!
Thanks bro...🙏🏾
That thang clean! What do you plan to do with it?
Jarrell Poke Honestly, I keep going back and forth on what I want to do as far as wheels. So I’m just going to enjoy cruising and taking it to some car shows for now.
You have a beautiful car, there. The striping- all of it - is factory original, and there may be stripes available for the hood, that (if memory serves correctly) were separate options. The body side moldings are aftermarket, I think. The original ones were always black, and they had a higher profile but were not quite as wide. Again, this is according to my memory. I was a sub-contractor to car dealers in the business of installing these products. I was an independent company as opposed to one of the franchises available, so I accessed more than one striping manufacturer's product lines. Regarding the color of the striping on your car, I'm guessing it was gold or some shade of brown. If you can't find nos striping, try Phoenix Graphics. Good luck. Any chance you will change the paint color?
Nice car BTW
Wow, very nice👍 congrats. Do you still own it? And does anyone out there know where to get a steering wheel of exactly that style, preferably in red? Searching for one to exchange my ugly original 75 Regal steering.
Yea I still own it. I have know idea where to get these steering wheels considering mine came with it. I would try checking fb Buick groups and forums.
@@ketrilamar Quick answer, thanks! Already checked for it on the Internet, but in vain. More is hard to do from Germany, because here I won't find one ...
@@frankthetank9346No problem I try to help the best I can. Aaaaw man, I’m sorry to hear that. Have you tried Facebook marketplace? I had saw a part out of a model year around our model…I’ve don’t remember the interior color or the steering wheel it had but might be worth looking into.
@@ketrilamar, I am not on Facebook. Anyway, thanks for your advice.
