This auction is for a 1973 Buick Centurion 2 door sport coupe with clear Iowa title. It runs, but has an engine knock. Brakes, stops. This is a project vehicle, needing at a minimum an engine rebuild.
It is a 2 door coupe with what is known as the High Performance option, which means a big valve 455 and dual exhaust. This car came from Idaho, where it was elderly owned for it's entire life, well cared for and the odometer shows around 34,500 miles, which are believed to be original, based on the closing of the doors and other issues.
It came off the trailer when delivered running with an audible engine knock. I have driven it locally for 3 1/2 years, then finally got it into the garage and starting reducing it for a restoration project. I am no longer interested in putting in the time and expense to restore the car as I am getting older and never have the time to work on cars.
My descriptions are honest. I have over $2500 in the car and my starting bid is very fair, with no reserve and represents a huge cash loss. Crusher price is around $250 here.
This would be a shame to crush or part out as these are nice looking cars restored or in original shape and are great road cars. This one is equipped very well with the following options or standard features:
1. High Performance Option
2. Power 40/60 seat in deluxe clothe (available through SMS)
3. Rear window defroster new style in glass
4. Manual windows
5. Power steering / air conditioning / power brakes.
The body on this car and the floor pans are overall very nice. The RUST consists of pinholes in the lower rear quarter which can be saved. Rust has also hit the trunk molding rail which is still OK, but is not perfect.
Interior
Interior needs some restoration. The seats will need redone but the fabric is available from SMS. Dash pad is cracked but I have a couple of decent dash pads. Door panels and other interior vinyl just need cleaning. Glass is good all around.
There is a dent as pictured on the right front fender, but it's simple and not compound.
Engine and drivetrain
The engine started and ran fine and I believe the car will load on a trailer without issue. I removed the battery at the start of reduction for restoration. The HOOD is stored on the property, this car is sold complete.
Grille and bumpers are decent. Standard non posi rear axle, no four note horns. PS and PBrakes always worked well. I basically just yard drove this around until I had garage space. It has been garaged for 2 years, heated and air conditioned so there has been no further deterioration. It's a nice project for not a lot of money.
Has 4-5 Buick road wheels original to the car. What else can I tell you? I can be reached at 515-520-2611 or through ebay. This is a no reserve auction intended to move the car to someone who can restore it. HAS CLEAR IOWA TITLE in my name for easy transfer of ownership.
Thanks for looking.

2018 Buick Regal GS : The 310-hp American hot hatch
Wed, Jul 19 2017Buick has spent the last decade shredding its perception as the low-level luxury vehicle for geriatrics, but the brand hasn't always been associated with that crowd. In fact, ask some enthusiasts and you'll hear about the GM 3800 series engines, IndyCar racing, and the mythical GS and GNX. In that high-octane theme, GM pulled back the curtain on the all-new, all-wheel drive, 310-horsepower 2018 Buick Regal GS Wednesday morning in Milford, MI. The GS is basically a sport-tuned version of the all-new Buick Regal. We've seen the standard and high-riding wagon variants, but this is our first look at what's likely to be the enthusiast pick. The Regal GS uses the five-door sportback bodystyle from the standard car (though a GS version of the TourX would be awesome), swiped from GM's soon-to-be former German division, Opel. While a number of automakers are downsizing engines, Buick is soldiering on with its tried and true naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, in this guise making 310 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic. The all-wheel drive system uses a twin-clutch setup and has been tuned specifically for the GS. The Regal GS makes more power than both the Acura TLX A-Spec (290 horsepower) and the Lexus IS350 F-Sport (306 horsepower). The V6 features both cylinder deactivation and auto stop/start for better fuel economy. The fully independent suspension uses the second-gen Continuous Damping Control (CDC), capable of 500 adjustments per second. Selectable modes allow the driver to tailor the car to fit the situation. Large Brembo front brakes are surrounded by standard 19-inch wheels and tires. The exterior gets a few styling changes like a sporty front and rear fascias, a small rear spoiler, and plenty of GS badges. Inside, the Regal GS gets unique sport seats with integrated headrests and adjustable lumbar and thigh bolsters. They even come standard with heating, ventilation, and massaging functions. The driver faces a GS badged flat-bottom steering wheel and GS-specific pedals. A full-color heads-up display is optional. Available safety features include front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warnings, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. The real key for the success of the Regal GS could be pricing.
