Adam
1971 Buick Centurion
Convertible
Purchased from a
gentleman in Oceanside, CA. It was his baby, but he needed to get rid of
it because it was too much trouble to drive it around the city with parking and
gas mileage, etc. I picked it up for a pretty good price. I think he got
tired of it sitting in his driveway. It had obviously NOT been taken care
of in recent past. What a shame.

1971 Buick LeSabre 4DR Sedan
SOLD! - If you
find it, tell me. I want it back.
The car that made the Buick bug
bite me:-) This is my first car and my daily driver. I had it
for 5 years and loved every minute of it. 2 Years ago, it was
unfortunately caught in a hail storm with stones bigger than baseballs.
You can see the dents in the hood on the first and 3rd pics. ho hum. It's got some cancer
coming through the rear quarters near the wheel wells. It's got a
350-4. AC car, no big options on this car, just a nice big boat...with
awesome exhaust.
